Panic Waves Sweep Over The
Famous Organizations.
EASTWARD TURNED AN0THER'S EYES.
The Political Circles of New York Stirred
From Centre to Circumference, and
Each Day DeyelOpes a SensA-

NEW YORK. June 15.-Tammany hall
is panic-stricken.
Cookers sudden flight TO Europe has
left the organization in the worst plight
Of its long and wonderful history. A
leader Of one Of the uptown districts
on the east side left the city last night.
Not even his most intimate friends
know his destination. The leader to
whom reference IS made has been IN
consultation with some police officials
for several days past. In fact. when
the first testimony tending to prove the
police system Of wholesale b~lackmail
was given before the LcXOw committee
this leader hurried to headquarters and
made anxious inquiries Of his friends.
one of the best-informed men at the
city hall said this morning:
Another Leader Deserts.
This leader has been the cOnfden-
tial man in many Of the most impOr-
tant transactions which have resulted
in bringing wealth to some of the ia
vored men in the organization. lie
knows too much for his own good and
for the good of those who have been
associated with him. and acting upon
advice, he left New York at nee and
will remain away until the LeXOW com
mittee concludes It's hearings. No sub
peWna has been issued for him, and it
is not likely that one will be issued for
sOrne time to come. but as it is known
hat he will De wanted within the next
few weeks, he has wisely concluded to
make himself scarce.

Ex-Sheriff O'Brien Talks.
Ex-Sheriff james O,Brien said this
morning: The way in which Croker
left the country convicts him. No in
nocent man would run away as he did.
He is taking the same course that the
old Tammany crowd in the days Of
Tweed and Connolly did.
Il noticed in an interview with Crok-
er some time ago that he referred to me
as having been talking for twenty ears
about his enormous wealth. ! Gertain-
ly could not nave talked that way, for
it was not until d few years ago hat
he got hold Of any money. Seven or
eight years ago he was . -rrOWlng s.
from men on the rae track. When he
was chosen Alderman my brother Steve
bought him a silk hat so that he could
make a prescntablc appearance at the
city Hall"

Among the stories floating about this
morning was a circumStantia! state
ment concerning the desire Of a num-
Der of prominent and influential men
in the Wigwam to desert Tammany
and bring over their strength to one of
the boiling factions, providing they
are assured hat the LeXOW committee
will not trouble them. 4 man prOmi-
nent in the councils of one of these
factions made the following state
ment
Until an early hour this morning
men who have stood by Tammany
through thick and thin were in confer
ence with a committee representing a
rival democratic organization. They
made the proposition that if it could
be arranged that they would provide
men who would furnish the committee
with all needful information. and then
wheel their organizations into the OPP
position ranks. All they asked was
protection. They are satisfied hat
they have been abandoned by Croker,
and they do not propose to stand idly
by while those who have protited most
