mostly Between Leaders.

Police Justice Diver has really been
turned down as Tammany leader In the
Second Assembly District. His resigna-
ton as leader will soon be In the hands
of j. ]. Martin, of Tammany's Executive
Committee.
All the little sub-Ieaders and heelers
in the Second have received their orders
TO ignore Diver. and for the present
only to take their advice from Alder
man Nick Brown. associate leader. As
| Brown and Diver have been as thick
as two peas In a pod, It Is only ques-
ton Of time when Brown will be turned
down, too.
| DIVERS downfall Is due to the as
cendancy OF County Clerk Henry d.
Purroy. who har already made ailroy,
Cochran and Tim Campbell feel the
lash. Diver has been made to feel II,
too, and In this way.
He supposed. until the morning Of the
day upon which the Congressional con-
ventions were held. that he was stlll
the power In the Second. and that he
could control Timothy Dry Dollar Sui
Ivan. one Of his proteges. who is leader

vcr Tim had declared that Gilroy's APP
pointment OF Republicans on the Police
Board was bad policy. and he had other
and personal grievances against the
Mayor, the Mayors shadow. Corporate
Counsel Clark. and Jimmy Martin. Pres
ident Of the Police Board. When he
found that Purroy also cordially hated
these men. with Diver thrown In for
good measure. Tim became Purroy
man with a view to aiding in the over
throw of their joint enemies.
Diver supposed that he was to name
Dunphy's successor in Congress- and he
had planned to give the nomination to
his friend Nick Brown. This was Tins
chance to show his loyalty to Purroy, as
his Assembly district Is in Dunphy's
Congressional district, the Eighth. So
Tim sought out Diver and proceeded to
nip the Nick Brown Congressional bios
som with the frost of his presence. He
saw Diver and said something to this
effect:
You seem anxious to go II alone on
the Congressional nomination. Now
listen to me. l happen to run thiso thing
not you. l will give you the names OF
two men In your district to select from

"You can have either Walsh or Dun
ply. Take your choice"
Dunphy, as is well known. is DIVERS
personal eEemy. Therefore bis accept
ance OF the latter's name was out OF the
question. Diver had never even
dreamed Of Walah. although the latter
had given valuable assistance In defend
ing the men indicted for election fraud;
