I,vrwoop N. j., Dec. "a story reached
horo ,o.niobt To the effect that tho plan of dual
lood.rsbip in Assembly districts, which has been
In voonc IN Tammany for tho last three years,
was TO be abolished after the reorganization In
January. The story Is that the old method or
h.,ino a s,nole leader in each district was to DO
royivnd and the Executive Committee was to
be composed of one member from each Assembly
district. As this has been talked OF Tor some
time. n few OF the Tammanyites were inclined
to put Some credonce In tho story until MT.
Croker was asked about II. He authorized
senator Grady to mako this statement for him:
"So decision has been arrived at 40 to tho
question OF continuing or changing the present
mode NJ management in Tnmmany Hall. Any
atorv In this effect published in any paper IN the
wildcat kind of suspicion. Until the meeting Of
tho General Committee for organization. there
in no ono in a position to say just what will DO
the attitude OF the organization
The associate leader In tho district Is called
tho business leader by politicians. and not
vithstanding Senator Grady's statement, the
assertion that the associate leader is to so, has
been made on what appears to DO good au-
thority.
1T is expected that camp will be broken here
on Monday, as most of the leaders have prom
ised Sheriff elect Tom Dunn to attend the ball OF
his club at the Central Opera House on that
night. It is also expected that within tho
next three days Messrs. Croker, Van Wyck,
and Carroll will be In q position to
make up their minds as to which men are
entitled to the places. Bernard J. York is OK
pected to return from Brooklyn tomorrow with
definite Information as to Brooklyn's demand,
and 1t is believed that the apportionment Of the
places and the naming Of the mon to fill them
will then take place.
II there ia still any doubt of the turning down
of John c. Sheehan the events of the next faw
days will dispel every vestlge of that doubt. The
Tammany Senators here have been in close con-
sultation with Senator Grady right along. and
there is little doubt Of his leadership of tho
minority in the next session of the Senate.
There were over thirty new arrivals at the
Lakewood this evening. nearly all of them Tam
many leaders who are either candidates for
places or are backing some candidates.
Mayor-elect Van Wyck went up to the city
carly this morning to attend the meeting and
dinner OF the Holland Society. a function which

Senator saw Mr.: Dooner. who is n person of sub
etontlal proportions, summing himSeif on the porch
OF the hotel. He invited Dooner to take a ride.
and they drove Off to Whitesville. six miles west
of Lakewood, where the meet took place. On
the return trip Senator Coggeshall noticed that
the bit had dropped out OF his horses mouth.
He pulled the horse to one sido of the
road. Along came. a spider phaeton with
two women on tho front seat and a
young coachman in tho rumble. As
the phaeton ncared the spot where Senator Cog
Reshall's rig was standing the coachman pulled
the reins, to make a turn to the left, and one
OF the buckles on tho rein caught in a
stsnehion on tho dashboard. Jerking tho
careened. and the coachman lost control of
tho horses and they plunged ahead. Mr..
Dooncr sprang at the horses heads and grabbed
the lines, while the Senator leaped upon tho
phaeton. His weight bore 1t to the ground and
he managed to sin the buckle off the stancheon
as he got out. The women were badly fright
ened. and some time elapsed before they sufa-
GENTLY recovered to order the coachman to con-
tinue.
Father Thomas P. Mclaughlin Of the Church
Of the Transfignratio in Mott street. tho
"'singing priest" delivered his lecture on
Irish Songs and Their Origin" ut the Lake
wood this evening. The Catholic population of
Lakewood is limited. and the affair was tho
most successful entertainment ever held here.
Five hundred persons attended. including
nearly all the Tamnany delegation. Father
Mclaughlin sang THE Minstrel Boy EILEEN
Aroon," and other Irish melodies, accompanied
by Miss M. Agnes Fread. pianist.
