Mr.. Croker's name at tho head of the FinnnoNe
! Committee means that he is to take MP the nom{
inal leadership of tho organization as well 90 It'd
actual leadership. He was the Chairman Of tho
Finance Committee previous to his departure
| for Europe, when failing health nrst caused him
| to leave this country. John O. Sheehan was
selected by him then as his nominal successor.
| and Mr.. Sheehan has held tho Chairmanship uH
| to the present time.
Last fall 1t became known that Mr.. Croker
| was out with Mr.. Sheehan, their differenoeA
being caused by the attempt which Mrs
| Croker believed had been made by his lieus
tenant to oust him from the actual lead.
| ershp. It was said that Mr.. Sheehan had
| listened to tho suggestion made by Mrs
| Croker's enemies that he head o movement
| to throw Mr.. Croker overheard. and that Mr..
Croker. after careful investigation, had
| reached the conclusion that Mr.. Sheehan had
not been adverse to the scheme Therefore Mn
| Sheehan was turned down.
He was ignored In tho distribution Of ohlces
| in the Van Wyck administration, and at the
primary election In his district two weeks ago
he was elected executive member Of the District
General Committee. going back to the districb
leadership, which he had given up to become
Chairman of tho Finance Committee.
John F. Carroll whose name is second on the
list of the Financial Committee, has been close
to Mr. Croker since the opening of last falls
campaign. ExMayor Grant had charge Of
Mayor Van Wycks personal campaign Andrew
Freedman is one of Mr.. Croker's most intimate
| friends Jacob RUPERT Jr., received the Tam.
many nomination for President CT She Council.
| and retired from the race in favor of Randolph
| GuRgenheimer.
| Tho Law Committee has at its head the Cor
poration Counsel and the District Attorney.
Victor J. Dowling, one Of its members. was
| turned down at the primaries in the Twenty
fourth district in favor of Maurice +. Holahan.
and Rollin NJ. Morgan retired from the leader
| ship of the Twenty.ninth district In favor of
John +. Carroll.
The Press Committee is dropped. Col VIII.
liam L. Brown was the Chairman of that com.
mittee in 1897, and he resigned because he
thought that Thomas F. Grady should not be
nominated for District Attorney. Senator
Grady wasn't nominated, but he is member
of the Resolutions Committee. and Col. Browns
name is not on the list.
Tho committees are made up of mon OF known
loyalty to Mr.. Croker. and they show that ins
future the organization will be conducted on
| the exact lines which he lays down.
