neglect. After he was buried in Massachusetts
yesterday his bsnkbooks were found in an oid
leather bag which was bound with chains. In a
hole in the floor under his bed. Both Mr. and
Mrs Fitzpatrick lived the lives of nsers, the
neighbors say and pretended that they we're
penniless.
Mrs Fitzpatrick died four months ago, ana
after her death two bankbooks, each showing
balance of $4,000, were found in an old stock

Mr. Fitzpatrick was seventy-two years old,
and for years he was employed iaborer on

FLYNN'S WAR ON MURPHY.
WANTS TO DUST THE POLICE COMMITS
STONER FROM FIRST DISTRICT
LEADERSHIP.

bitter fight has been started in the Ist As
sembly District by Battery Dan Finn aeSinst
Police Commissioner Michael c. Murphy, for abe
control Of the district at the primaries next
year. Finn IS determined 10 wrest the leader
ship Of the district from Colonel Murphy. and he
has planned his fight at time when the latter
viii not he able 70 bring the argument of pat
ronace 70 bear or the result, There has been
an old grudge between Finn and Murphy for
years and Finn has been restive under the lead
ership Of the Police Commissioner.
The patronage Of the district which Murphy
was able to swing has been given TO particular
friends of Murphy and the friends Of Finn have
been left out OF the count altogether. The
friends Of Finn say that Colonel Murphy has
had his day. and that one good fight will finish
him as leader Commissioner Murphy has spent
much Of the time for the last few years at his
GUNNER home in Far Rockaway, and Finn has
Of late been using this an argument against
him.
The two factions have taken sides in the Con-
r-,ess district fight in which a successor TO Mich
olas Muller. Of Staten Island, viii be elected
All Of ;he Isl Assembly District is in the old
With Congress District. and Finn, in order 10
make things unpleasant for Murphy. has de-
ci6ed 70 support Perry Belmont. Murphy has
not declared openly for any one, but he has
said he was against carpet bag candldate
such as Mr. Belmont. Finn cares little for the
CARPET bag issue either way or the other, but
he is against Murphy. and if Mr.. Belmont gets
the nomination the followers Of Finn will claim
the first l.nockdown. II is understood that
Murphy and his friends viii be for Councilman
C'Grady. and they Will be reinforced by the
DELEGATES from Richmond whom O'Grady can
control. Nicholas Muller, the Democratic leader
of Richmond. counts on delivering the Richmond
delegation for Nr Belmont. but in this he is
likely TO fall short by at least dozen delegates,
as O'Grady is making a hustling tight for the
nomination. Councilman Ryder. reader OF the
lid District, leans toward O'Grady in the hgnt
because he and OGrady have been close friends
in the Council, and NT. O'Grady will be out OF
office next year unless he is elected Congress
man. o
The convention will contain 27S delegates-l3S
from Richmond and 140 from New-York. The
district includes besides Richmond County the
entire LIST Assembly District of this county,
twelve districts of the lid Assembly District.
and two Of the Ia Assembly District, where
Councilman Tom Foley is leader. Foley is
said TO be with the Belmont people Croker
has taken his hands off in the fight, and it
seems 10 be open fight between Mr. Belmont
and Mr.. O'Grady for the delegates. Finn says
that no matter how the Congress contest goes
he is out to retire Commissioner Murphy, and
there are plenty Of Tammany men in the dis
trIct who predict that he will succeed.
