HEARST CEASES PUBLICATION OF N. Y. AMERICAN

Weapon in Struggle With Pulitzer to Be Merged With Journal.

By United Press NEW YORK, June 23.—The New York American, Williara Randolph Hearst's major journalistic weapon in his “battle of the titans” with Joseph Pulitzer, announced today that tomorrow's edition would be its last in the morning newspaper field in. New York City, The announcement made no mention of the newspaper's colorful history or its part in the development of such journalistic personalities as the late Arthur Brisbane, Merrill Goddard, Richard Harding Davis, Julian Hawthorne and Ring Lard- . ner. It said simpiy that the American would be consolidated with the New York Journal, Hearst evening paper, and the Mirror, his morning tabloid. “The practical disadvantages of maintaining three competing newspapers in one community make a ‘combination of this kind desirable and beneficial,” the statement said. “The creation of two powerful papers of enlarged size with many added pages and features will obviously be cf immense advantage not only to the Mirror and the Journal | but to the reading public. |

Features Divided The - American's features will be

divided between the Journal and Mirror. The Associated Press and City News Association franchises will go to the Mirror. The Sunday Associated Press | franchise will be retained by the | Sunday American, which will con- | tinue to be published in conjunction | with the Journal. |

The American was the descendant | of the Morning Journal, Which | Hearst bought 42 years ago for $180,000 after having made a ne able success of his San Francisco | Examiner. Hearst declared war at once on Pulitzer, who then dominated that section of the morning field to which the young publisher intended to appeal. He spent $7,000,000 in that war, much of the money going to lure his best talent from Pulitzer. Brisbane, who became Hearst's right-hand man, was one of the first to leave Pulitzer for the greener pasture. Goddard was another, and 8S.’ S. Carvalho, the business manager of Pultizer's World, was yet another. Hearst's first maneuver was to reduce the Journal's subscription price from 2 cents to 1. Within three months after John R. McLean had taken a reputed loss of $850,000 in -the sale of the paper, Hearst had pushed its circulation from 20,000 to 150,000—and Pulitzer felt the pinch.

Changed Paper’s Name

When he invaded the afternoon |

field in 1902, Hearst changed the name of his morning daily to the American and called the afternoon paper the Journal. Hearst spent more than $500,000 covering the Spanish-American war for his readers. Richard Harding Davis was his star war correspondent. It was the American, when it was still the “Morning Journal,” which carried | the famous piece of verse

Woman Likely To Win House Chairmanship

Times Special WASHINGTON, June 23.—A second woman may rise to a committee chairmanship in Congress as a -result of the death of Rep. Connery (D. Mass.). Mrs. Caroline O'Day (D. N. Y.) is in line to become head of the “Committee on Election of President, Vice President, and Representatives in Congress” as a result of a series of shifts set in motion by the change in the House Labor Committee, which Mr. Connery headed. Mrs. Mary T. Norton's elevation to the. chairmanship of the Labor’ Committee leaves the chairmanship of the District of Columbia Committee vacant and it probably will be filled by Vincent L. Palmisano (D. Md.). Rep. Palmisano is now chairman of the Education Committee and a successor will have to be chosen for him. Rep. De Rouen (D. La.) is in line for the education post but is likely | to reject it in favor of his present chairmanship of Public Lands.
