Congressman Roosevelt, in an addres
said that the exhibition OF Incompetence
recently shown by the ring was disgrace
full He thought an immediate chang
= should be effected; did not believe ther
was q single man in the ring who, of hi
own merits, could command election 70
constable in his own ward.
1t is Known that U secret consultation
yesterday was held by Hall, Sweeney an
, Tweed, in conjunction with District AttOT
I ney OGorman, for the purpose oi.devisin!
means to secure the displacement o
, Controller Connolly, which resulted in tn
!, adoption Of no definite programme, thougl
.. there were reports that legal proceeding
against Connolly would be commenced a
!, the instance OF Hall, by the District AT
torney, 1t is generally believed that thI
inteptIBn to GUST Cohhplly was abandon
cd, Connolly himself reiterates slfis pur,
pose to continue in his position, but says
he is ready If the other leaders Of the
ring will do likewise. Among the ring
faction, Hall and Sweeney's idea is that Il
Connolly is sacrificed, the popular anger
may, to some extent, he appeased; that
perhaps by the appointment ofsome well
known citizen, such, for instance, as Gen
eral Mcclellan, whose name is mentioned
in that connection, the excitement might
temporarily be allayed The Tribune
thinks II is an absurd idea to believe that
the lie and soul of Tamnlany rarG to be
saved by throwing away one of their
tools, but again asks that Connolly be put
out Of his position, ..s.. t.g
4 The New York Times believes Cunnol.
| ly has done quite right In refusing ID
resigpl and that the people have no war
against him as q man, but against the
institution OF which he is part. What
the Times wants Is the extinction entire
of the Tammany organization. The Her
AID thinks the power Of Tammapy ,is bro
ken and nothing can save II, It's leaders
have not only shown themselves to be
incapable leaders, but their conduct has
pnUvukedz public Odfum. Ii thinks Hail
should not only remole the guilty but
resign himself and thus every o6stable
Of reorganization in the city be removed
and the people would begtYen an 'oppprI
tunity for the new departure.
Notwithstanding the statement b the
contrary, It Is believed Hall does really,
intend3to impeach Connolly, and that he
yesterday telegraphed TO Judge Low, of
the Common Pleas, who Is in Europe, to
return sOthere may be full bench OF
that tribunal before which the charges
Sgainst, the Controller must be preferred.

Corporation counsel Seymour continued

short OF the amount authorized, and so

ed It's powers. The laws Of 1907 au.
thorized the issue Of bonds for dock i'm.
provempnts, Croton acqueduct bonds and
Central Park Improvement loans, and
those Of 1871 authorized the fire telegraph
bonds. The laws also authorized the nd.
iustment Of claims for the payment Of
which bonds were TO be issued. Cornell's
claim for $4,000 for work on the court
house had by the decision of Judge Suth.
erland to be paid by the Commissioners.

No clue whatever has yet been had
touching the then of tho vouchers from

of the abstraction, has suspicious, which

The Democratic leaders throughout the
State are considerably exercised as TO the
proceedings Of affairs here during the
week. tits said the great question which |
will come before the Democratic State |
Convention will be the conduct of the |
ring faction Of this city. II Is thought
the county leaders will rebuke the Tam.
many demand for new departure upon |
the questions Of municipal legislative re.
forms, Tweed maintains remarkable re.
ticence in reference TO the situation.
Upon being advised that phblic opinion
seemed to condemn Halls action in regard |
to Connolly, he seemed 10 be surprised, |
and remarked that he had very little op! |
portunity Of obtaining any knowledge of
public opinion. 1t Is thought that Mr.. |
Belmont is anxious to have Connolly's |
position, should vacancy occur, as he |
and his house at Hamburg is largely in.
terested in the city and county bonds,
and he believes his acceptance Of the
office would tend to strengthen the credit
Of the city. aN
