CROKER'S new PLAN.
Is It to Pacify the Business Men
Of This City?
Doubling Of District Leaders a Sur
prise to Politicians.
More Trouble Expected from Ex-
Senator Plunkitt.

Tammany men would not talk this
morning about Richard Croker's latest
scheme to increase the Executive Com
mittee or numebr OF district leaders of
Tammany Hall from thirty to sixty, for
the simple reason that they knew moth
Ing about 1t Croker did not take them
into his confidence, n with the excep-
ton of Mayor Gilroy and one or two
others, the first they knew of the plan
was through the newspapers
The order from the chief was a stun
ming surprise to the district leaders.
They can't understand what 1t means.
Croker's order Is that the thirty new
leaders must be business men. h lead
ers cannot reconcile this departure from
Croker's recent announcement that Tam
many Hall had no use for business men.
He wanted only men who could devote
all their time to public affairs.
They interpret this new move as indi-
eating that Croker made a mistake when
he affronted the business men, and is
now anxious tc make amends.
AS the leaders were not consulted they
had no chance to max selections of
coadjutors. Possibly Mr.. Croke intends
to relieYe them of all embarrassment in
the matter and select their coadjutors
himself.
