Richmond Va. March 12.-(Speclal)-
Mr.. Michael Murphy who has just re-
signed the chairmanship Of the Colonel
Lambs Republican City Committee. was
seen to-day and stated that he threw up
Inc position solely on account of the fact
that his health Is not good and his wife
is quite unwell. Mr.. Murphy thinks his
duty is first to his family, and TO serve
his party as he should as chairman
he would have to be away from home
a great deal. The Lamb people are very
much set back on account of MIR. Muir
phys refusal to serve. Alderman 3ahen
will now probably be made chaIrmun.
Mr.. Murphy states that he believes Colo
mel Lamb is right, and he endorses
everything the State chairman has done.
