succesor i'm the "bosship" The plans TO carry out TINS
purpose were not fully matured when the men engaged
In the scheme learned on Thursday night Of Mr. Keys
purpose to expel PurrOy They were not dismayed
however and early Friday morning they set 20 work
10 make such an exhibition Of strength in the committee
as would appal the boss The $50 members Of the com
mttce were carefully canvassed promises Of patronage
were used to shake their allegiance, and notes were
issued from the City Bl inviting certain prominent
members to call upon the Mayor. But when the crisis
come, and vote was TAKEN only twenty-nine members
could be got TO go record against the expulsion OF
Parroy and White, and only small part OF TINS
number will 90 with them out OF Tammany Hall
This is regarded as all the remarkable because
the taken by Mr. Kelly has precedent In Tam
many and is asserted to be unconstitutional VIVA
ever that may mean when applied to an organization,
supposed constitution but the viii offs leader
Heretofore necessary to get rid OF an OBJ
jectionable member a disciplning committee has been
appointed investigate the charges and then the dis
trict in which the Objectionable member lived
has reorganizcd in such way as to leave him no
longer member of the Tammany organization
In the of Purroy and White, however no commit
tee of investigation was appointed Dut RESOLUTION
course only 20 members could be found 70 vote.
Among those who opposed the resolution OF expulsion
were Park Commissioner Lane, Coroner Merke, Charles
Wede, Thomas L. GTOy, and a number OF others WhO
said yesterday that, although opposed to the course
taken by Mr. Kelly, they had no Intention OF retiring
from the Tammany Organization

be It's leader The plan is possession OF
the Tammany society at its next annual neelns OF DC
fore possible, majority Of the oacems OF
which body of officers PurrOy Is member. Other pol
nreVns ateInps of this kind laugh at their threats
now. They assert that the attempt made

The detection OF Purroy and White Will tahe
but little strength away from Kelly. As political
leaders they have no influence OUTSIDE the Ianhny Or
only one in Board OF three members, te other Two Oe-
ing politically opposed hm therefore his influence
