This was an other night of whirlwind speechmaklng in the municipal campaign, but the three candidates brought out nothing new In the way or personal attacks. W. R- Hearst, the Independent nomi nee, delivered four speeches In New Tork: Otto T. Bannard. the Republican nominee, spoke three times In Brooklyn ahd then appeared at Carnegie Hall. N. T.. before a big fusion gathering, and William J. Gaynor, the democratic nominee, appeared In Brooklyn. Hearst opened with an attack on Gaynor and Tammany, reviewing his efforts in behalf of the people through his newspapers. Hearst "Bellowing Demagogue." Gaynor referred smilingly to his first visit to Tammany Hall last night- "I have bearded the tiger In his den." he said, "and have faced that 'dreaded animal without a qualm, and I am now convinced nothing on earth can make me afraid." Gaynor referred to Hearst as a bel lowing demagogue, who has never yet read the city charter. Of Senator Mc Carren's illness, he said: "We send our sympathies tonight to one who is not here. Though we have not all of us been able to agree with him at all times, we can remember the good be has done, at all events." Gaynor Stands by Ticket. Gaynor announced his staunch sup port of his associates on the Democratic ticket, some of whom have been criti cised severely, particularly George K. Roesch, Tammany nominee for Justice of the City Court. The Bar Association of New Tork officially denounced Roesch as "not fit for the office," but Gaynor stood by the tirket. Ex-Mayor Seth Low. a Republican, was one of the principal speakers at the Carnegie Hall meeting. His mention of Hearst brought cheering. "I am glad you applauded Mr. Hearst," said Mr. Low. "because he is fighting with os in this campaign against Tam many. . . . HEARST'S STRIKE SUCCEEDS Forces Fusion Candidates to Appear on Platform With Him.' NEW TORK. Oct. 20. William Ran dolph Hearst, nominee for Mayor, has won a strike which he declared against the Republican fusion ticket, according to a story current here. Until last Sat urday, none of the nominees on the fu slon ticket had appeared with Mr Hearst on his speechmaklng tours. As all of these nominees, with the exception of that for Mayor, are also on the Hearst ticket, Mr. Hearst believed that they should speak with him during his ener- getia campaign. ' Hearst was scheduled for a speech Saturday night, and three hours before the meeting was to be called he is said to have served notice upon Republican fusion managers that, unless their nom inees for Controller and Borough Presi dents appeared with him on the plat form, he would retire from the race for Mayor and leave the Republican fusion ticket to fight Tammany alone. This declaration is said to have thrown the Republican camp into confusion, which lasted for two hours, or until fu sion nominees assured Mr. Hearst that they would appear with him.

PLOT IS BY STATE More Mystery Added to St. Helens' Case. CONSPIRACY KNOWN IN 1905 Sheriff White Arrested None, Good Description Given. 'TOOTS' BLAKESLEY IS MUM Evidence of Hand-writing Expert looks Dark for Man Accused of Attempted Blackmail of Treas urer Quick Blamed Alone. BY FRANK J. M'GETTtGAN. ST. HELEN'S, Or., Oct. 20. (Staff Cor renpondence.) Adding mystery to the labvrlnth lines of the case of "Toots" Blakesley. accused of an attempt to ex tort money from County Treasurer B. E. Quick. District Attorney Tongue, of Co lumbia "ounty, announced today that the alleged conspiracy to blow up the court house at St. Helens would not be brought out in the trial. "It would confuse the Jury," said Dis trict Attorney Tongue, "and the recital of the alleged conspiracy Is not necessary to prova Blakesley guilty of an attempt at extortion." Quietly but steadily the news went abroad in St. Helens and its citizens are disappointed. Elimination of the alleged plot to dynamite the former old court house at 3t. Helens removes the sensa tional feature of the Blakesley trial. Why this step has been decided upon by the state Is mystifying. Plot Was Reported. Onlv one solution is given of the odd refection " of the alleged dynamite plot by the state. Ex-Sheriff Tom Word, it seems, reported to Sheriff 'White, of Co lumbia County,- early in 190S that a plot was on foot to demolish the St. Helens courthouse end rob the vaults. Tom Word's informant was Jack McCarty. the convict Indicted with Blakesley, and the description of the man said by Mc carty to be the leader of the plot tallied, it was reported, with the height, weight and general appearance of "Toots" Blakesley. Sheriff White made no ar rests in the case." Would Strengthen Case. It is conceded that the Introduction of the alleged dynamite plot would strengthen the extortion case against Blakesley, but the state seems satisfied without it. Columbia County and Its seat. St. Helens, may gape at the reason, but the history of the alleged plot to destroy the old courthouse will not be filed among the records of the new building. Toots" Blakesley is no nearer trial than yesterday, the Jury box still con taining only 11 talesmen with the defense having two challenges and the state two to exercise. But where the evidence against Blakesley was known only to the prosecution yeeterday, today it Is com mon property. The prosecution rel'.es wholly upon handwriting experts to con vict Blakesley. the only other potent wit ness being Tom Word, of Portland. By him the state hopes to prove that iConcluded on Page 3. ) DYNAMITE IGNORED m - -- - - -T- 1 . j 'x . , :.-,... - sss-ii.- b : : I WOMAN WILL SLUG CUSTOMS OFFICER ALLOW NO -PINCHING, POKING .
