Tammany DISCONTINUED.
Few Of the practical politicians in the
city will admit ever having seen such
a seething pot Of discomfort as that
brewed within the few hours that in
te~vened between recess of the conVen-
ton and the meeting of the committee.
I'd to the hour of converting it was
shot ha Y9iar1 of TanrnSpnfa.-
ton adopted by the Kings county men
was the plan favored by the leaders,
and would be adopted in the case of
the New York contest. But the men
with Tammany badges were discon-
tented, and the result was that when
the convention adjourned there was no
certainty that there would be an &C
ceptance Of the plan. At the head and
front of the revolt against the plan
favored by Senator Hill and ex-Gover-
nor Flower. were Senator Murphy, eX-
Police Commissioner Martin, ex-Sena-
tor Grady, ex-Nayor Gilroy and Lieu
tenant-Governor Sheehan. The latter
was inclined to be conservative and
was strenuous in his denials of story
10 the effect that at the meeting of the
state committee this morning he had
declared. in the presence Of Senator
Hill, that any man who voted for the
admission of the state Democracy peo-
pie was q traitor of the Democracy.
II never was before the committee"
he said, land never expressed my views,
except TO Senator Hill reasonably"
But Senator Murphy spoke differ
emily. He said:
Senator Hill and those who favor
the admission Of the state De-
mocracy people are greatly in
the wrong The proper place for
them to show their strength and fight
their battle was in the primary. They
were invited to take part. They de-
clined. They, therefore, have no stand
ing here I am opposed to admitting
them. If they are good, conscientious
Democrats they will not vote against
the Democratic ticket
Hot Words Passed.
Police Commissioner Martin had
talk with Ex-Governor Flower this
afternoon and some very hot words
passed. Flower was in favor of har-
mony at any cost, and Martin was
just as sure that the state Democracy
people should not be treated with, as
they did not regularly come as con-
testants. The two leaders disagreed
so badly that they lost their tempers
and left each other without coming to
a settlement. Martin went at once
to the Vanderbilt and called meeting
Of the Tammany committee. He pre-
sided himself and upon a motion ap-
pointed a committee to appear before
the committee on contested districts
and argued against any representa-
ton for the state Democracy. The
significant feature of this movement
was the fact that Thomas z. Grady.
who is we'll known to be deadly
enemy Of the state Democracy, was
made chairman of the delegation.
One Of the significant features of
che day was the absence from the con-
vention Of every leader except Ros-
well P. Flower. Senators Hill and
Murphy did not come Leaders Mar
tin and Grady, of Tammany. were not
there. John Boyd Thatcher was at the
Yates and in Mr.. Hills room. and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sheehan was AT
the room Of Senator Murphy. Mr..
Gilroy stayed with Senator Murphy
Tor some time. but as he had a resolu-
ton TO present he strolled into the
convention in the middle Of Mr.. Bel
snont's speech.
Third Term Aspirations.
Another OF the features Of the day
was the cutting by Mr.. Belmont, of
that part of his speech denouncing
third-term presidential aspirations.
Some of the Tammany men had pre-
pared to receive this speech with ap-
plause and were disappointed.
Relating to the matter this evening,
Mr.. Belmont said 10 the Associated
Press reporter:
Ny speech in general pointed to that
ides, but I did not think it wise to
make any great move in criticizing
the administrations attitude in that
direction. Personally, however. I ann
willing to be quoted as against a third
term" -
General interest centered about tbe
meeting of the committee on resolu
tons, where the excise plank was he
ing discussed in executive session, and
about the committee on Credentials
where the New York and other con-
tests were to be decided. II was voted
TO reserve the matter of the New york
and Kings county contest until the set
tlement Of the others. The chairman
announced that the contests in the
First, Second and Third districts of the
county Of Queens was before the COM
mittee. Senator Hill moved that the
sitting delegates of the district be de-
cisred entitled TO their seats. The mo-
ton was adopted.
The Question.
When the committee on contests took
up the New York State Democracy
contest, Chairman FairchiId spoke for
the contestants. It has not been the
purpose Of the State Democracy. he
said, to fight for admission at the con-
vention, but rather to abide by thn
decision Of last years convention. The
underlying principles of the party were
now In need of support and he would
