The Tammany men were smiling yesterday at a
story 10 the effect that Senator Murphy 8 VisN 10
the CITY and conference with Richard Croker was
for The nurrose o. eecting reconciliation between
Mr. Hi and Mr. Croker. Such reconciliation Is
regarded as practically impossible. Senator Mur-

deciding upon ways and means by which the new
Croker Murphy combination could make headway
and gain control Of the Democratic machinery IN
the State Frank Campbell Of Bath. who Is one Of
Nj Hirs closest personal leutenants IS In the city
and he scouts the reconciliation story. He feels
sure that Mr.. Hi did not commission Mr. Murphy
10 act as peacemaker. and also youchsafes the IT.
formation that a combination between Hi and
Croker is decidedly out Of the question.
The truth IS as The Tribune has stated that Mr..
Murphy, who is a candidate for reelection to the
Senate, does rot want 10 do anything 'ha; VII brng
At this time Mr.. Hi Processes TO believe iha. Mr.
