CROKER AND HIS AIDS SAY LITTLE

MR. M.cARREN DECLARES THAT REGISTRATION
SUITS HIM But He WON'T TELL. WHY.
The air around Democratic headquarters these
days carries a chill with It. The headquarters are
almost deserted. and the few there listless and
apathetic When an attempt made to get a
fair statement yesterday from the Democratic
maragers about the registration they would not
deal with facts but went off into sort of
dreamy monotone as they predicted victory along
lines of gittering goneraes They have reduced
their campaign to one issue-the canas-and they
have little to say about that. Senator Murphy.

Counsel Whalen were around headquarters yester-
day. but they would not talk much Democratic

yesterday afternoon he ground out another state
mcnt predicting a great Democratic victory.
"Al the Indications" he said, point to n Demo-
cratic victory. This State has always gone Demo-
cratic when the party was united. and IL has never
been so thoroughly united as At present There Is
