REVOLT IN PARTY SPREADS.
TINE TO DUST CROKER HAS ARRIVED,
SAY CRIMMINS AND OTHER LEAD
ING DEMOCRATS

Richard Croker spent several hours at Tam
many Hall yesterday. but he was almost alone
there. District leaders who had been paying
daily visits to him stayed away from the Wig
wan. The rooms which had been crowded with
alert politicians were weilnigh empty. Mt
Croker walked about like man who had lost
all his friends He was sad even 10 morose-
ness, and he would not talk about the OUTLOOK
for the Tammany organization or about his own
plans When a Tribune reporter asked him tor
his views regarding the proposed State Con-
stabulary bill he replied feebly Il don't know
anything about that" He refused to talk about
the reports that many of the Tammany leaders
have become convinced that he must be removed
from the leadership il the organization Is 10 De
saved from defeat next year. He would not tell
Il he intended to go to England soon. or intended
20 remain and try to retain his hold on the Or
gGnization. II won't talk about anything" he
said. finally.
While Tammany district leaders are known
TO be much alarmed at the bad odor in which
Croker has placed the organization, few Of them
dare at present to come out openly in criticism
Of Croker and his methods. Some of the lead
ers are said to be comforting secretly as to plans
for turning Mr.. Croker down. and wish to be
assured OF the support OF other leaders be-
fore letting their plans be known
II think the time for revolt against Croker
has arrived" John D. Crimrnins said yesterday
1.-The young men in Tammany will join in
movement against his control of the local Demo-
cratic organization. Every Democrat who has
business interests in the city will Join in move
ment to substitute a sound progressive and
honest city government for one that is known
20 be run in the interest of the leaders in the
organization"
Mr.. Crimmins said he thought that Democrats
OF prominence, such as Charles S. Fairchid,
E Elery Anderson and Everett P. Wheeler
should lead a movement for new Democratic
organization Anderson
The best way TO crush Croker, in my opinion.
is TO form new Democratic organization in the
city, on the lines of the old County Democracy
I would have such organization take the
ground that Tammany is undemocratic.
