Hearst, whic h, the speaker .said, hud the full and com plete Indorsement of President Roose velt, was iK iiV"ir; J In a public address liero tonight by Secretary of State Kllhu Root. At the same time Mr. Root paid an eloquent, tribute to Charles K. Hughes and uniiouneed that lie was authorized to say that the President greatly desires the election of Mr. Hughcu as Governor of New York. ' "I say to you with President Roose velt's authority," said Mr. Root, "that ho regards Air. Hearst as wholly unfit to bo Governor, as an Insincere, self seeking demagogue, who Is trying to decelvo the workingmen of New York by false statements and false prom ises, and I say to you, with his author ity, that lie c onsiders that Mr. Hearst's election would be an injury and a dis credit alike to honest labor and to honest capital, and a serious injury to the work in whic h he is engaged of enforcing just and equal laws against corporations' wrongdoings. President Roosevelt and Mr. Hearst stand as far as the poles asunder. Listen to what President Roosevelt said in hia first message to Congress: InHumcd Czolgosz to Shoot. "In speaking of the assassin of Me Kinley he spoke of him as inflamed by the reckless utterances of those who. en the stump and in the public press, appeal to the dark and evil r.pirits of greed, envy and sullen hat red. The wind is sowed by the men who preach such doctrines and they cannot escape the respensibility for the whirlwind that is reaped. This ap plies alike to the deliberate demagogue, to Hie exploiter of sensationalism and to the crude and foolish visionary who, for whatever reason, apologizes for tiime or excites aimless discontent." "I eay by the President's authority that. In penning these words, with the horror of President McKlnley's mur der fresh before him, he had Mr. Hearst specifically in his mind. And I say, by his authority, that what he thought of Mr. Hearst then he thinks of Mr. Hearst now." Not Guiltless oT Assassination. ChnracU rizing Mr. Hearst as a vio lent and unworthy demagogue and a persistent office-seeker, Mr. Root de chited that as a Congressman he had proved a worthless public servant; that, while professing to favor an in dependent judiciary, he had made a deal with the Tammany leader. Mur phy, for the nomination of a judiciary ticket in New York: that, while In veighing against corporations, his own corporation management shows the In sincerity of hia profession; that it is not calm and lawful redress of wrongs which he seeks, but the turmoil of in flamed passions and the terrorism of revengeful force; that he is guided by scltlsh motives and that he is "not guiltless of McKlnley's death." Mr. Root proceeded: Hearwt Itangeroua Demagogue. Mr. Hearst In Just the kind of a dema gogue I have described. He is Indeed r-n especially dangerous specimen of tbe clas. because he is generously rich and owns n vnpapers of large circulation, and he can hire many able and active men to speak ell of him and praise him in speeches and 'n private conversation. What evidence has Mr. Hearst produced of hi fitness for this office? Of his pri vate life I shall not speak further than to say thut from no community !n this state ilnes there come ennr'rnliiK him that testi mony of lifelong neighbors and acquaint ances lo his private virtues, the excellence or his morals and the correctness of his .onduct, which we should like, to have con cerning the man who ts to be made Gov ernor of our state. He is really known to us solely as a young man, very rich by inheritance, who has be come the owner of a number of sensational yellow journals; he has taken in his news papers the popular side upon all questions relating to labor and corporations and has sustained it by much violent denunciation and many falsehoods, and he has been a persistent seeker for office on the strength of taking the popular slue; ne nas pumisnea whatever he thought would please the work ing people for the purpose of getting the labor vote. Stained With Tammany's (.'rime. There is, however, affirmative evidence of Mr. Hearst's unfitness for the great office of Governor. You will perceive that to the remedy of corporate wrongs for which he offers himself two things are necessary. First, intelligent and well-devised legisla tion, and, second, the judicial enforcement of the laws. Underlying both Is political purity, for without that neither Legislatures nor courts can be pure. How stands Mr. Hearst's record as to political purity? Why, he comes to us cov ered ell over with the mark of Tammany and Tammany's leader. Murphy, whom lie himself has denounced as a scoundrel and a thief; he conies to us, not answering to tho call of the people of the state, not as the highest candidate of the Democratic party of the state, hut named by his own procurement, through as shameful a deal KHhu It out. Secretary of State. with the boss of Tammany as ever disgraced the political history of the state. Can hypocrisy go further than the willing bene ficiary of Tammany Hall preaching political purity ? Neglected Duty in Congress. How stands his record as a legislator? He had opportunity to prove his capacity and sincerity in that Held. Representatives are sent to Congress to attend to the business, of the country. Mr. Hearst was sent to Congress to do that; he had an opportunity then to show how much sincerity there was in all the talk of his papers about reforms and better government. What did he do? Why, he did nothing. During the three years that he has beea in Congress that body has been in session 407 days; there have been 1S5 recorded votes by yea and nay; he was present and voting at but :J and present without voting at two. His voice was heard In that Congress in those years but once and that but for ten minutes on a personal question; he did not even contribute a motion to - adjourn to the business of Congress. He la so rich that the $1.",U0U paid hira for that neglected service may seem of no con sequence, but no honest poor man would have thought it right to takp it. The public knows the character of Mr. Hearst only by the newspapers he pub lishes, and God forbid that we should set up in the high .station of Ctrt tsrnor . of New York, for the admiration and Imitation of our children, the man whose character is reflected in the columns of the New York Journal and the New York American. Sows Seeds of Discord. But the worst of Mr. Hearst is that with his great wealth, with his great newspapers, with his army f paid agents, for his own selfish purposes lie has been day by day and year by year sowing the seeds of dissension and strife and hatred throughout our land; he would array labor against capital and capital against labor; poverty against wealth and wealth against poverty, with bitter and vindictive feeling; he would destroy among the great mass of out people that kindly and friendly spirit, that consideration for the Interests and rights of others, that brotherhood of citizenship which are essen tial to the powerful conduct of free popu lar government; he would destroy that re spect for law, that love of order. What public servant honored by the people's trust nas lie not assailed with vile and vulgar epithets? What branch of our free govern ment has he not taught his readers to be lieve a corrupt agency of oppression? Incitement to Assassination. Continuing on this subject, Mr. Root said: only once has this method of incendiary abuse wrought out its natural consequences in the murder of President McKlnley. For years, by vile epithets and viler cartoons, the readers of the Journal were taught to believe that McKinley was a monster In human form, whose taking on would be a service to mankind. . Let me quote some of these teachings: "McKinley condones the treacherous mur der of our bailors at Havana and talks of his confidence in the honor of Spain. He plays the coward and shivers whitefaced1 at the footfall of a processing war. He makes an international cur of his countrv. He is an abject, weak, futile, incompetent pol troon. "McKlnley, bar one glrthy Princeton per son who came to be no more or less than a iving, breathing crime in breeches, is there fore the most despised and hated creature in the hemisphere; his name Is hooted; his ligure is burning in effigy." l he bullet that pierced Goebel's chest Cannot be found in all the West; Good reason : it Is speeding here To stretch McKlnley on his bier." And tiiis in April, 1101 ; "Institutions, like men, will last until thev die, and. If bad Institutions and bad men can be got rid of only by killing, then the kill ing must be done," Is No One Left Who Joved McKlnley? What wonder that the weak and excit able brain of Ozolgosz answered to such impulses as these. He never knew Mc Kinley; he had no real or fancied wrongs of his own to avenge against McKinley or aictviniey s government ; lie was answering tho lesson he had learned that it was a ser vice to mankind to rid the earth of a mon ster, and tho foremost of the teachers of these lessons to him and his kind was and is William Randolph Hearst and his yellow journals. Is there no one left who loved McKinley? Are there no workingmen in New York who cannot see with satisfaction honors heaped upon trie man wno is not guiltless of Mc Klnley's death? The same kind of teach ing is being continued now month by month and day by day by the Hearst journals. Its legitimate consequences, if continued, must be other weak dupes playing the role of Czolgosx; other McKinleys stretched upon the bier; discord and bloody strife in place of the reign of peace and order throughout our fair land. It is not the spirit of Wash ington and of Lincoln; it is the spirit of malice for all and charity toward none; it Is the spirit of the anarchist, of the cora inr.iist. v-t Kishlnef and of Bialystok. Mr. Root urged his auditors to return a niaj. rity of Republicans in the House of Representatives to work with President Kouse velt in the next Congress, and said further; Hughes Roosevelt's Choice.

RUEF'S STOCK IN THEATER Mystery of $45,000 House- and Champagne Suppers on Salary Aggregating $30,000 Heney Says Case Is Complete. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Nov. l.(Spe clal.) One million dollars 1s the amount which Mayor Schmitz and Abe Ruef have made in grafting on building permits, ac cording to evidence In the hands of the prosecution. Theaters were held up, one of them for 45 per cent of its stock; large, retail stores were forced to pay tribute before they could make altera tions, and other owners were compelled to make changes in their buildings, but the changes . were never satisfactory to the authorities unless made by a certain contracting firm. Case upon case has been discovered to bear out these charges, until Heney and Burns are confronted by an embarrass ment of riches. In all of these cases the charge will be conspiracy to extort money. That these charges will stick. Heney has not the slightest doubt. He Was a Wise Chinese. One case s that of a Chinese theater. The owner, a Mongolian of wealth, was ordered to make certain changes in the structure that 1 tmight conform to the or dinance. It was made plain to the Ce lestial that it would bo to his advantage to employ the Deneen Building Company. He did so. The repairs were made and the theater a?mwe(T to resume business. The Chinese was womewhat staggered when he received a bill of $16,000 for the work. He was a wise Chinese and he paid. Architect Tharpe, whose reputa tion is of the highest, made an examina tion of the work and reported that it was worth $4000. The difference is just $12,000. Rise of Deneen Company. The Call tomorrow will say: "A few years ago the Deneen company was rated low in the financial scale. The MORE MILLION IN BUILD PERMITS concern, however, has thrived since It has drunk of the bowl of municipal favor. Heney has hearsay evidence that Mayor Schmitz had more than a friendly inter est in the concern. His friends deny that he was a partner. Be that as it may, the Mayor and the Deneen company thrived together. It was about this time that the Mayor paid $13,000 for his $S,000 house. The Deneen company erected the house. The Mayor was so well satisfied with his bar. gain that he at once expended $115,000 in furnisliitiRS. "The salary of the Mayor is $iiOOO. He had but liule money when he went into office. He has been in office five years. . His total income from his salary has been KO.OOO. His house represents an outlay of $45,000. . Then the Mayor Opened Wine. . "About the time' that the Mayor and Deneen .became friends the Mayor , took to opening champagne. The Mayor's man sion on . Vallejo street, one of the most aristocratic sections of the city, faces the mansion of Mr. Deneen. Next to the Mayor Is the elegant home of one of the members of the firm of Hilbert Bros., the liquor concern in which it has been charged that the Mayor had an interest. Near by is the home of Police Commis sioner Leahy. All these homes were erect ed by the Deneen Company. "One venture in which the Deneen Com pany had no hand was that of a 10-cent theater located on Market street, near Powell, and known as the Baldwin, after the large playhouse which once stood on the same site. Manager Tiffany, of the Baldwin, was ordered to close the theater, as it did not conform with the building laws. Building Inspector Fitzsimmons re ported that the building could not possibly be altered In a manner to make it con form with the ordinance. Tiffany engages Abe Ruef as his attorney. The building was altered at a cost of $10,000, and in no way conformed with the building ordi nances, yet it was allowed to run unmo lested. Ruef received 45 per cent of the stock, a small portion of this being held In the name of Mayor Schmitz. For his interest Ruef claims he paid $;!300. ) The theater paid him something like $10,000 a year. Duffey Goes to Sec Heney. It has become known positively that President George F. Duffey, of the Board of Public Works, visited the offices of Heney this week. Duffey claims he called to see Attorney Lerman who has an office with Heney, on private business. Lerman is associated with Heney. Duffey hotly denied the insinuation that he had betrayed the administration. "It's a damned lie," he said. Ruef tonight organized his wing of the Republican party into a body for his own defense. Labor leaders are calling for the expulsion of the officers who have espoused the cause of Ruef. Labor bodies continue to pass strong resolutions de manding that the investigation proceed. Would Iikc Ruef to Testify HeiW-was ia alkalive mood fnichllX:vze Pitl "d thereby ;iralyze, laboc". Kurf takes such an Interest in these grand jury proceedings," lie said. "I wonder if he would like to appear before the jury after it Is sworn in and make a statement in his own behalf. If he will do it, I won't make any objections. We might be able til add something like 400 years for perjury." When asked if there was anything new in the case. Heney replied: "New? How can there be anything (Concluded on Pago 4.) HANDWRITING ON THE NEWTORK CITY IS FULL DF ORATORY CandidatesSp'eakFrom Dawn to Night. . CROKER HAS BOMB FOR HEARST Denounces Murphy for Alliance .

With the close of the day the storm center of the po litical action in this state was trans ferred from the up-state counties to Greater New York. Until November 6 both Charles E. Hughes and W. R. Hearst will make their appeals to the voters of the metropolitan districts. The programmes arranged for them call for many speeches daily and their vigorous and almost unprecedented campaigns will continue practically to the dawn of elec tion day. Hearst has already returned to the city, and Mr. Hughes will arrive tomorrow morning from Utica, where he closed his up-state campaign tonight. Croker Denounces- Jlurphy. The comments of Richard Croker, ex-leader of Tammany Hall, upon the gubernatorial campaign in New York and the speech of Secretary of State Root at Utica tonight were the startling In cidents of the day. Croker, in an interview in Dublin, Ire land, criticised severely the action of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, in bringing about the nomination of Hearst at Buffalo, and predicted that if Hcar-st "is elected and carries out his He characterized Murphy's action at tho Buffalo convention as an "astonishing and unprincipled performance." Croker confirmed the genuineness of the cable gram given out by P. H. McCarren yes terday. . Root's Terrific Arraignment. Root at Utica tonight, with the au thority of President Roosevelt, assured his hearers that the President desires the election of Hughes. "I say to you," said Root, "that he WALL, (the President) regards Mr. Hearst as wholly unfit to be Governor; that he con siders Mr. Hearst's election would be an Injury and a discredit, alike to honest labor and to honest capital." Root quod from President Roosevelt's first message to Congress concerning the assassination of President McKinley and concluded with the statement that "what he thought of Mr. Hearst then he thinks of Mr. Hearst now." Greater New York was ablaze with po litical enthusiasm tonight. The Repub lican followers held more than 100 meet ings in as many different places, and Hearst spoke to 16 different audiences be tween 6 o'clock and midnight. Estimates of tho Result. Estimates are being made by both par ties as to the probable pluralities of their respective candidates. National Repub lican Committeeman W. L. Ward said, at state headquarters, today: "Mr. Hughes will be elected by a plu rality of at least 175,000 in the whole state. I shall not be at all surprised if his ma jority is more than 250.000.

Great Republican gains are indicated everywhere." State Chairman Woodruff declined to give out a forecast, but said that he had received encouraging reports, especially from Kings, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties. . Charles F. Murphy said today that he estimated Hearst's plurality in Greater New York at from SO.OOO to 100,000. Asked as to the boroughs. Murphy said: "I don't know about all the boroughs, but I feel certain that Now York an1 Kings Counties will go strongly for Hearst." Tammany will hold its last and largest rally Saturday night.

ABOUT TO PLAY HIS LAST CARO Anything to Secure Payment of Debts by Goulds. ' DANGER OF GREAT SCANDAL He May Demand an Inquiry Into Charges and Thus l'orce Her to Besmirch Highest Names in 1'rancc No Duels Ycl. PARIS, Nov. 1.h spite of the state ments made yesterday by Mail re Cruppi in the opening address of the case of Countess de Castcllune (who was Anna Gould, of New York) for divorce from her husband. Count Hon! do Castcllane, that there was not the faintest possibility of a reconciliation, it is by no means cer tain that the Count has abandoned hope of such an outcome. His conduct sincu the suit began appears to have been based upon the belief that his wife must yield in the end. This theory will explain the Count's refusal of liberal offers of a life income. It is also disclosed that the Count never ceased writing letters to his wife, in which he begged for a reconcilia tion and in which he anathematized tho American lawyers under whoso, intlucnce he charged she was actinc ICiters Show Her Contempt. Friends of Count Boni say ho was dumbfounded to learn that the Countess had allowed the presentation yesterday of a detailed case. He was so confident that his wife would surrender that he did not prepare a defense. It wag only today that documents, which under French law must be exchanged, were transferred to coujiscUurllie. opposition. These papers amount in the main lo let ters written to Count Hon! by his wife and which show tho contempt in which she held her husband. These letters prob. ably will necessitate the production of tho letters which provoked them. It seems certain today that Count Boni's defense to the charge of inlldel ity will be "unproven," and that ho con sequently will demand an inquiry and the production of witnesses for the pur pose of prolonging the case, his idea be ing to accomplish a reconciliation. This would extricate the Count from the money difficulties with which he is beset. May Smirch Highest Names. The calling of witnesses is what the attorneys for the Countess are particu larly anxious to avoid, as doing so would drag in some of the highest names in France. Maitre Cruppi yesterday gave no clue to the persons referred to as "Mnie. A," "Mme. B," "Jlmc. ,C" and "lime. D," except to those persons familiar with current gossip. If an Inquiry can bo avoided, the decision probably will not bo rendered before November III. Maitre Cruppi expects to sjeak for an hour and a half Wednesday and the re mainder of that session of the court will bo given to Maitre Bonnet, of counsel for the Count. The court will then adjourn for a week in order that the public prose cutor, who under the French law repre sents the interests of the community, may have an opportunity to present his con clusions. After this there will be a de lay of another week while the court pre. pares the decision. The reports that the husbands of two of the women referred to yesterday havo challenged Count Bonl to duels are with out continuation. Castellane Gets News Suppressed. PARIS, Nov. 1. As a result of the In dustrious campaign of Count rie Castcl lane to prevent the publication of tho news that the suit for divorce brought ji gainst him by his wife came up for a hearing yesterday, rot more than a third of the newspapers mentioned the fact, and not a single detail is printed here, the law making the publication ot divorce testimony a criminal offen.se.

The Presi dent, Mrs. Roosevelt and Surgeon-General Rixey. at Pine Knot, got up early this morning and started on a hunt for wild turkeys. The President has never potted a wild turkey and it is his ambition to add one to his record. Some of his neighbors, it is reported, undertook to play a joke on him by turn ing a flock of domestic turkeys of the mammoth bronze variety into the woods and driving tern so that they would fall a prey to the President's gun. but Mr. Roosevelt would have none of the domes tic birds.
