OFFENDING BOOK CALLED IN
CROKER ORDERED THE ~DEyERYIzED''
PUBLICATION SUPPRESSED, BUT
ITS WORK HAS BEEN DONE

The campaign textbook issued by Willoughby
Street on Wednesday, extracts from which in
dicating bitter feeling against Tammany Hail.
have been published in The Tribune has been
withdrawn by the Democratic Campaign Com
mittee. A Tribune reporter who called at Demo-
cratic headquarters was unable to obtain copy
OF the remarkable document. Matte" Dow
den, who has charge of the speakers bureau,
Informed him that the edition was exhausted.
and that he did not know that any more would
be printed All copies within reach of the cam
paign committee, it is said, have been collected
and placed under lock and key.
James Shevlin, McLaughlin's chief lieutenant
was asked if he approved the statements made
in the book. He said:
s"I think there must have been some remiss-
ness the part of the committee that had the
matter in charge. 1t a mistake to distribute
copies of the book broadcast I had nothing to
do with it,"
John L. Shea. chairman of the campaign COM
rnittee, dsclaimed all responsibility for it's pub
lication. Il had nothing to do with it, he de-
clared. The whole matter was in charge of
Mr.. Dowden. The book will be repubshed in
revised form. We expect to get out million
copies"
do you indorse what it says about Tammany
and Devery?'
The mischief has been done. Let it co.
the urgent request of Mr.. Croker. who was
particularly distressed at the chapter which
apoogized for the enforced alliance between
WilIoughby Street and Tammany Hall, saying
that ANY other course would have been sui
cidal, and, while Tammany Hall has never been
popular with Brooklyn Democrats practcaI
men were quick realize that no other course
open 10 the organization. II was either
a compact with Tammany. or else an anti
Tammany victory.
One of the Democratic leaders in Brooklyn
explained that the book was compiled before
the nomination Of Mr.. Shepard. ana when II
was expected that Bird 5. Coler would be the
nominee. There is doubt that il has created
considerable i'll feeling between the Democratic
leaders in Manhattan and Brooklyn WI
loughby Street. although ii has consented to the
withdrawal of the book. will not move from the
independent stand it has assumed. II was
merely the suggestion that its bitter statements
might lose Manhattan votes for Mr.. Shepard
that induced the action. However, the mischief
has been done and the suppression of the
pamphlet can only have the effect Of calling
more widespread attention TO its defiant ut
terances. 1t is possible that a disaVowal OF re-
sponsbty by Willoughby Street VIII appease
Mr. Croker's wrath, but il is certain that the
book is accepted by the great mass of voters as
an official declaration and the friends OF ChleI
IOevery will be slow TO accept any apology Tor
the frank remarks contained in the chapter on
the Police Department.
The books have been redeemed from all the
campaign speakers 1t feared that some
of the indiscreet spellbnders might make literal
quotations from the pamphlet, TO the consterna-
tion Of their Democratic auditors
