New York State Leader Has s Pew
 Words to Say---"Mant a Fighter, Ought to Elect Dempsey" Is One
 Expression.
 New York, Aug oa F-Msyor Hyan, accused by Governor Smith of blind subseryience to a super boss" charges the governor with be- smtrchlng William Randolph Hearst. the man who helped him enter the executive mansion at Abany.'
 The mayor replied over the nut ncipal radio station last night to Governor Smiths initial speech Of the primary campaign. In addition 10 discussing Mir, Hearst the mayor denied the governors charges that he had conferred with Klan repre- sentatives during the last demo cratic national convention.
 The governor said the mayor "forgets the time when Tammanys greatest leader, Charles F. Murphy convinced that Alfred F. Smith as a candidate for governor did not have chance in the world of being elected in 1918, appealed to me through another to see Mir. Hearst and urge him to have his newspa. pers support MT. Smiths candidacy.
 MT. and Mrs. smith went to Mir Hearst's home and enjoyed his hos pitality. In addition, Mir. Hearst gave his promise of support and did SUD- port Mir. Smith in his newspapers and Mir. Smith was elected when ha would not have been, as Mir. Mur- phy admitted, withoue the help of Mir, Hearst.
 MT. Smith has conveniently for gotten this. pre(erring now to be- smirch the man who helped him enter the executive mansion at AL bany. But Mr. Smith has changed since the days Of Oliver street. He has new conferees and associates. Ills suite at the Bitmore hotel costs more per year than his entire sal- ary as governor.
 Hearst the Same
 But Mir. Hearst has not changed. He is the same battler for the rights of the masses as Of old. and has never asked any public official to do more than give good government. an honest government and a hu- mane government"
 Mayor Hyan reiterated that dur ing the 1924 democratic convention he refused W. G. McAdoo's offer of the vice presidential nomination be cause he did not want 10 do any thing to hurt Governor Smiths chances. Moro than this. said the mayor, when one Of the governors managers requested that Mir. Hearst attempt to persuade William Jen- nings Bryan to support Smith. Fly Ian immediately made an appoint ment with the publisher and did all he could for the governor.
 Replying to the governors charge that the mayor lacked ability the mayor describe public Improvements made during his administration and 1 referred to his fight 10 maintain the i five cent fare and to suppress gambling and vice.
 t"Tba lil hoe boNO lo n, TAI as. stew-pots of vice and gambling" he said.
 If three terms for mayor were too much for one man, as Governor Smith contended, the mayor asked why the governor was serving n third term. James Rolph, Jr., the mayor said, was serving his six teenth year as mayor of San Fran cisco.
 And by the way" he said, New York and San Francisco are the only two large cities of the country where the five cent fare still pre- vails."
 Mir. Hylan accused the governor Of fraternizing with corporations and named directorates of which the governor was member.
 Smiths Statement
 Governor Smith continued his campaign in behalf of State Senator Walker and the Tammany ticket last night. Recalling the mayors claim that he has been fighting for seven years, Mir. Smith said:
 If we want fighter we ough' to elect Johnny Dundee or Jack Dempsey. The mayor has beer fighting with pretty nearly every body who didn't agree with hi' ideas. And one not in accord with him is either a gambler or lined up with the interests. Any ont who makes a statement like that |, not fitted for public office.
 The mayor Is past grand master Of tho order of insinustior and innuendo."
 An editorial In the Evening Jour nal owned by Mir, Hearst says:
 Whatever happens in th' primaries, which NIT. olvany Qesdel of Tammany HalD and the other think they have got very nicely fix ed. The real election comes in No vember, and that will be snothei story"
 Commenting on thls the New Tori World today says:
