PUBLISHERS HAYS AS FORMER POST OFFICE Banqueters Receive Message From President Harding and Welcome Marshal Joffre. By Joseph S. Jordan. Nowspaper publishers of tho United - jHtatos still linger in New York and jr started on another session of work. That is, some of them did, while those who could get off for the time set out to seo something of .the old. town. Last night about COO of them were at tho banquet at tio Hotel Commodore given to Will Hays, new JjTOoylo head and former Postmaster .'JTCcneral. \It was as Postmaster General that the editors and publishers greeted him and for what he hud done while on that Job, but Mr. Hays and his co- horts saw to it that tho motion pic- ture Industry wasn't overlooked under the banners of boostdom. In fact Mr. Hays talked of nothing else In his address but the future glory of the work which he has just .taken In hand. Thero was a long Jlst of speakers, In which respect tho dinner was like the banquet of a long ago day, bar- ring the essentials that used to gleam and glisten In pretty glasses to the accompanying tlnklo of ice. A lot of those who were expected failed to show up and sent telegrams Instead, but the'ro was a pinch hitter for every absentee, and the function went through on scheduled time, oven though it was close to midnight when the last huzza to the gallant Marshal aAoffro died away in the echoes. POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT IS REPRESENTED. The affair was well staged, both from tho viewpoint of entertaining tho editors and publishers, who were in the majority, and from the stand point of a send-of- f of the new line of activity adopted by Will Hays. Arthur J. Baldwin, leading counsel for Tam- - ,Jfinny, was toastmaster, and Arthur Brisbane, leading writer for Editor Hearst, was one of the chief speak era.- - Mr. Hearst has big movie In dustries as well as newspapers, and Mr. Hays has chosen for his secretory Courtland Smith, former head of the American Press Association and Mr, Brisbane's brother-in-la- Postmaster General Hubert Work was one of tho speakers, and Post- master E. M. Morgan of New York City sat on the dais. The 'present Postmaster General used to bo Mr. Hays's first assistant and was also oAtne Republican National commit tee when Hays was Chairman. Presi- dent Frank B. Noyes of the Associ- ated Press was ntso on tho dais, and Melvillo E. .Stone, former General Manager of the A. P., was scheduled for a seat, but was compelled by ill- - hess to leave before tho banquet be gan. M. H. de Young, owner and pub. Jtsher of the San Francisco Chronicle, Snt his graceful presence to the oc casion, but Cid not speak except to a Jot of old friends who greeted him Former Gov. Martin H. Glynn got tied up in a suit he was trying in Albany, or was having tried for him and sent telegraphic greetings, say Ing Will Hays was about asT big ns ho was and that he had noticed that Ai was the little men in life who did B-ca- things, naming Hays', Napoleon, Grant and a few others, und express ing the hopo that If the occasion ever aroso Mr. Hays would mention him in the same way. PRESIDENT HARDING SENDS MESSAGE. Late In the evening a message was lead from President Harding, warm ly commending the guest of the eve nlng for tho work ho had done In the past, but saying nothing about the work the movie people looked to him to do. Among thoso who dined on the dal nas Cyrus H. K. Curtis of Phllade! phla, head of tho Curtis publication tho Public Ledger, tho Saturday Evening Post and others. But Mr Curtis hied away rally to enjoy the repose of his yacht riding easily at anchor in the North River. However, he left his General Manager, Philip 8. Collins, to see that everything went all right In his absence. Jfe.There wcro women, too, at the ba- nquet, and one tuble In particular sim- ply splashed with tho radiance of newspaper feminine pulchritude. - It was a table peopled with representa- tives of tho New York Newspaper Women's Club, headed by the Vice President, Miss Jano Dixon. With her were the Misses L. O. Parsons LJItian Laufcrty, Suzanne Sexton tMflry M. McBrldc, Helen Young, JJJIeanor Stanton, Esther Norton, Dorothy Craiglo and Ruth Dayton. K. 3.

He said that when ho was a boy he used to lovo those old fashioned dramas where they murdered the banker In the first net, but that pi\ he had become a banker he wasn't so fond of them. He was Introduced as a former and publisher. Toastmaster Baldwin Introduced S. S. McCluro as the man who' had como back. Mr. McClure said he had withdrawn from the publishing game for ten years and then the lure of it drew him back. Speaking of maga- zines and syndicates he said that a rival publisher once told him that he served a million readers who wouldn't read his stuff. \ 'How do you know they wouldn't?\ I asked him. 'You don't know what your readers want How can you, when they don't know what they want themselves?' And that's the truth. The people don't know what they want, and It's up to the newspapers and magazines to And It out for them.\ Anion O. Carter Is publisher of the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

Fort Worth Is tho fourth city in size In Texas axd we have the largest circulation In tho State.\ HE PROFITED BY NOTED EDI TOR'S ADVICE. Harry Chandler, publtohsr of the Los Angeles Times, was one of those seated on the dais. Mr. Chandlers life in the Golden West reads like romance of California, or more like a story In a fairy book. Ho took thti advice of Horace Gieeley to all young men to go West forty years ago, and his first Job was a route on the Times. Ho worked up, attending strictly to business, enlarging his route and en gaging tho good graces of the lnte Gen, Harrison Gray Otis, owner of tho Times.

Marshal Joffro arrived at the ban quet hall after Mr. Hays had finished his speech. They vero waiting for him, the Mall Curriers' Band having lecn held for his coming. When the band struck up \The Marscllalse\ tho entire assemblage arose and gave a rousing reception to the hero of tho Marne.
