CROKER NO LONGER LOVES THEN.
VAN WICK AND CARROLL BELIEVED TO
BE NEAR THE END OF THEIR
POLITICAL INFLUENCE.

1t is now generally believed that the influence
in Tammany circles Of John F. Carroll and
Mayor Van Wyck is nearing an end. Van Wyck
gees out of office this fall He has brought
Tammany into more scrapes and by his toy ter
upon Tammany than any man in the organiza-
tion except possibly Carroll said a Wigwam-
ite yesterday Carroll by his ice transactions
got the organization into a bad hole. and Croker
had virtually to disown him. There is a genera!
belief In the organization that when Van Wycks
term is over he will never get anything from
the organization again. Carroll is Van Wycks
close personal. political and business friend.
They are almost insepara BILE. Carroll is the nom
inal deputy leader of Tammany Hail. but every
one in the organization knows that John Whalen
is the real representative of Croker. Carroll and
Nan Wyck are outside the breastworks They
have never had Crokers confidence since the ice
scandal They showed a lack OF judgment and
discretion at that time which Croker never for
gave For political reasons, Croker has had 10
keep up an apparent friendship with Carroll and
Van Wyck but when Van Wyck's term ends it
As freely predicted that his activity politically is
over, and that Carroll steps down and out with
him.
Carroll and Van Wyck are both bitterly un-
popular in the organization BY their AFRO
gance selishness and manner. they have Of
fenced nearly every leader, and. with Croker's
ganization tomorrow so far as any power goes.
John Whalen is said to he slated for Carrolrs

Croker's displeasure, is far and away more
Wyck or Carroll Croker is said 10 be ready 10
turn Van Wyck and Carroll out just as soon as
he can and so they are practically ignored when
the coming municipal campaign is talked
among Tammany men. for il is believed that by
that time they will be stripped of all authority
and power in the organization.
