Lest there should be lingering suspicion
In the mind OF some one that his retirement
from the leadership Of Tammany Hall is noe
to te absolute and final. Mr.. Richard Croker
announced yesterday afternoon that he will
to-day sever his connection with the Executive
Committee OF the organization and become no
more to 1t than any other member OF the Gem
eral Committee and Committee Of Crgani2a-
tion. His friends in the Organization had exc
pressed the hope that he would not resign the
Craftsmanship OF the Finance Committee.
which assures his membership in the EXecu-
tive Committee. but he said that he intends TO
disappoint them.
II should consent to remain on the Exc
ecutivs Committee" he sad 1T wouli he
freely charged that my retirement Is pre-
tended. and that l was. after all. responsible
for the administration Of the organizations

untrue. but l don't want the occasion for max
Ing II to exist. and will resign my member
