Senator Hill: ''I hardly suppose that
any good word said by such a pronounced
Democrat as myself will be credited by

cause he shows that great characteristic

Whatever he starts to get generally comes
into his lap. He has tact, which is a
great thing, and he has industry and per
sistency, which are also great things;
and with these cminent abilities at his

TAMMANY'S RANKS BROKEN
PurrOy Has Started the Revolt
Against Sheehan.
HOME RULE FOR NEW YORK
Only Croker Can Restore Harmony.
Five District Leaders Openly in
tion to Be Formed Sheehau Said
Purroy Was Always Kicker.

New York, Dec. 30.-The open revolt
against John @. Sheehan, which was
started last night by Henry D. Purroy,
after the meeting OF the TaInnany commit
tee on organization, promises to be a very
serious thing both for Sheehan and for
Tammany.
Purroy has not great following in the
organization, but ne will be backed openly
or secretly by very large element that
has fretted under Sheehans rule ever since
he took the leadership. These men are
known to be ready To do almost anything
TO overthrow Sheehan, and the Purroy Te
volt gives them the opportunity they have
long been waiting for.
This element is made up. first, of Hugh
Grant and the West Side district leaders
whom he controls; secondly, of the friends
OF eXMayor Gilroy. and, finally, OF the
numerous influential Tanmany men whom
Sheehau denounced as traitors during the
Presidential campaign.
All these OPP oncntS of Shcehan may not
at once throw themselves into the rrroy
movement, but II is OF doubted that they
Will assist in every way possible i'll the
effort to GUST Shechan.
Iurroy VIII begin the warfare against
Sheehan with at least five district leaders
ON his side openly. Wherever Tamlnany
men discussed the situation this morning
one suggestion was hcard-na mcly. that
Richard Croker alone can restore harmony
in the organization.
Some of the leaders asserted that a pur-
pose of the rebellion was to force Gro ker
to resume the leadership. They said that
when Croker saw TammaIIy split Iip ut q

Purroy Interviewed.

Mr. Purroy was asked if the Bryan and
SewaIl Tamuany Central Club, which he
organized in conjunction with leaders
ScanneIl, Sullivan and Others, would be
the nucleus for his new organization.
He said: Il do not know how the mem
berS OF the club stand on this question.

is not local with Us gf the annexed dis

Mr.. Purroy also suggested that Sheehan's :
action might induce Croker To resume the
leadership. The immediate cause of Pur-
roy : rebellion was the action of the COM
mittee on organization in deciding that
tie genera committees Of the Thirty fourth
and Thirty-fifth districts should not ap-
point tile inspectors at the primaries, al
though IN all the other districts except
the Second the general committees have
