New York, November 15.-The executive committee of Tammany Hall held meet ing tonight at which Richard Croker bade all the leaders goodbye and took hand in starting a movement to rid the city of vice. In a little speech, the Tammany leader said he was going to Europe for his health, not pleasure. and introduced Isidor Straus, president of the Educational Alliance, as a man who was acquainted with the condi- tion of things on the East Side, adding:
 "I hope you will give attentive hearing to his statements of the conditions of vice that exist there, and that after you have heard what he has to say, you will use your every effort to correct those evils as far as lies in your power.
 MT. Straus said he had met MT. Croker at dinner accidentally and had talked with him for two hours over the conditions in the East Side, and MT. Croker had asked him to talk to the executive committee of Tammany Hall, and then addressing the committee, MT. Straus told of what was needed on the East Side to suppress crime. He said that he, as Democrat, had fre- quently cast up to him the statement that Tammany Hall receives the greater part Of It's revenue from people in these evil conditions of life, and that no good can be accomplished unless the power of Tammany Hall Is destroyed. MT. Straus had repeated this to MT. Croker and the latter asked him to come before the committee with the statement, and had promised his aid.

 MT. Nixon was made chairman, and the other members are George c. Clausen, president of the Park Board; Col. Michael G. Murphy, president of the health board; John J. Scannell, fire commissioner, and John W. Keller charities commissioner.
 MT. CroKer then said
 q have nothing to add to what has been said by Mr. Straus because he Is familiar with the matters on which he has spoken to you. hope that this entire committee will give It's full strength toward helping him in his work.
 We should heartily endorse his remarks and aid him in the work of crushing out this awful crime. And right here I want to reiterate what I said three weeks ago to you, and that Is, that not one dollar comes into my possession from landlords of bedrooms and houses of Ill fame and if any one of you gentlemen are collecting from any of these people you had better get out of the organization. It has no use for you. You are a disgrace to 1t. The organization won't stand for any such thing"
 The meeting broke up in confusion be- cause of the attitude of Coroner F1tzpat- rick, the Tammany leader in the Four teenth Assembly District who denied that there was any disreputable houses in this district. He said that If there was vice there 1t was in tenement houses and could not be controlled. To this Mir. Croker ex- citedly replied that the coroner did not know what could be done until some effort was made.
