Sorry He Threatened Put All the BiE.
Eest Men Out or Tamnany.
John c. sheehan was sorry yesterday that he
had said no much about traitors to BRYAN and
sewal In the Tammany Hall organization. His
threat to discipline some of the best mon in
the organization, II they persist In their opposi
tion to the Chicago platform and ticket, raised
such a storm of protest about his ears that he
considered it polite to disavow one sentence in
the statement which he fathered the day before.
The sentence which he thinks was bit too
harsh and which should be mod fed Is:
mo man can remain a member OF Temmsny
Hall who does not vote the straight National
and State tickets next November"
Tho modification which Mr. Sheehan sug-
Eested was that such man could not be con-
sidered O trusted member of the organization
To q reporter of ThE Sun he said he would like
20 have the sentence altogether eliminated.
This will lead him. saying that a member who
does not do his best to help elect Bryan and
6ewall will have no standing in the orRaniza-
ton and will be marked as traitor.
1t was suggested yesterday that Mr.; Sheehan
would like to lose tho other sentence because IL
proposed fealty to the State ticket about which
TammAny now has some "traitorous emotions
