THE GREAT QUESTION.
The great question is what will Croker do.
There men in the organization who are say
ing that II he shows the white feather or falters

organization The Tammany men are saying
that the first man TO go should be John F Car

trouble. las 10 Mayor Van Wyck." said a Tam
many yesterday. he is just greedy and
stupid and irritable He let into this thing
simply because he was the Mayor Of Network.
He was shown how to make money craftily
without any pledges OF what he was 20 do but
nose who brought him in knew his greed and
slfshness. and knew that once his interest was
e stake. II would warp his judgment and make
Inn lean toward the trust. They can talk about
roney borrowed. notes given and stock trans

the gift OF the people again.
There is loud cry for the removal OF Carroll
s deputy leader. Tammany men say he is TO
dame chiefly for getting the organization into
BAD repute. Il is remarked that Carroll only
got MS most intimate friends TO buy Ice stock.
Not e district leader outside OF c. F Murphy

with Ice stock caused a bitter feeling against
him and a change Of leadership in the district

When Croker gets home he will be met by
Larry Delnour Delmour is the Tamuany
leader who once said he regretted that he could
not take ten years or his life and add it 70 that
o. Richard Croker. Mr. Delmour is stirred up
and he VIII talk plainly TO Croker, and Croker
viii listen 10 him and be Influenced by him, so
Il is said for Il is remembered that it was
Demour who saved Croker in 1897 when Shee-
han had him practically beaten for control OF
the organization It was Delmour's power that
turned the toe in Crokers favor at the Murray
Hil meeting in which there was test OF
strength between Croker and Sheehau-
Ta-nEuany men We're saying yesterday that
Croker might try TO disOwn the Ice Trust and
these who held stock in il in order TO benefit
himself The first step he should take" said
one leader TO bring this about is 10 remove
Carroll as deputy leader. The next step is 70 force
some % the Dock Commissioners TO resign and
appoint men n their place who own no ice
stock and compel Murphy 70 Withdraw az
leader n the XVIII District. Again he should
advise Augustus Van Wyck TO remain away
rom Kansas City. and never countenance MS
ambition for any political Office in the future.

tCBORDINATED EVERY OTHER ISSUE
The ice scandal has subordinated every other
issue in The Democratic political situation in the
State. There is little talk about the Kansas City
convention OF what viii be done. Everything is
nov being deferred until Richard Croker arrives
and can be consulted. Norman E. Mack, OF Buff
iaio. the leader OF the Bryan Democrats in this
State, was in the city yesterday. He said: Mat
