tween Abe Ruef. political boaa, and
Frank A. Maeaterettl, deposed member

reached an acuta stage. Maestretti ac
cuses Ruef of having sold the support
of the San Francisco delegation to the

laugha aa he denies the charge, and
adda:
'Thla la Indeed humorous, but such
statements sre more curious and laee
r-iioug wl.en made by a man out of qf
flcs Instead of when he is In offlce."
Maeatreettl a charge te contained In
a letter to Acting Mayor Gallagher, in
which he says:
"At tha Santa Crus convention I fa
vored the nomination of Mayor Bchmlts
for the office of governor of the state of
Caltfrnla. It la alleged that the entire
San Francisco delegation had been sold
for the paltry sum of $11,000 cash paid.
In advance to the unsavory boss of San
Franclaco. An attempt was made by
the aame boss to sail the San Fran
claco delegation to a candidate from
San Jose for tZti.OOO. The thirty-ninth
aaaembly district delegation refused to
be s party to either eale or attempted
sale, and announced weeks In advance
of the convention that It favored the
nomination of Ragene B. Bchmlts for
the offlce of governor of California.
Such action wag unsatisfactory to the
beaa whose weakling you are, and since
that convention he haa endeavored In
every possible way to And some ground
for my removal. He was not able to
find any grounds for such removal, and
waa obliged to wait until Mayor Bchmlts
had left San Franclaco to find a tool to
carry out his nefarious purposes and
consummate hie stall political revenge."
The San Joae candidate referred to le
J. O. Hayes, brother of Congressman
Hayes of the fifth district.
