The surprising news comes that deser-
tons from Tammany Hall are numerous; ;
many OF It's most important members hav-
ing left, and those who remain are ripe for
rebellion. The big chief, John Kelly, has
lost his grip and his power, and the signs
point to his early retirement from politics.
Sick, stripped OF his power TO dispsuss pat
ronage, his political enemies In control of al
most every department Of the municipal
government, Kelly Is pressed By his opno-
nents as he WAS never pressed before. The
names OF large number Of prominent and
influential members are given who have left
the ASSOCIATE ion, and the names Of some others
who are ready to leave. are given. "There
is Tammany Hall organization" said Al
derman Thomas Walsh, when some one re
marked that the org iniz1tion was "gone."
Then he added dryly, ''bdt 1t will not require
large hall to hold what Is left" ''Y0u'll
see them running out Of Tammany Hall,
like rats deserving a sinking Ship" said Jer-
emiah Hartigau, the Dsmosthenes OF the
down town districts. Look at the men
who are with us. | tell you that
every official who amounts 10 any thing Is
with us. Even Bob Roosevelt, the leader of
the New York Democracy, has joined US.
Many who yet remain are stoutly opposed TO

delighted to refer to as sour houored leader"

There is one thing 10 be said In Kelly's IA
vor, however. He never deserted a friend,
but many Of those who received bis favors
have deserted him.
It is said, bis physicians have peremptorily
ordered Kelly TO take trip to the South.
