THE POLICE SITUATION.
TAUluANT SPLIT OVER THE1
CHOICE OF DEVERY.
TALK OF CHARGES AGAINST HIN-YORK
GOING To SEE NLAUGHLIN-MUR-
PLY TALKS GUARDEDLY.

Developments in the police situation came
thick and fast yesterday.
No word was received from Richard Croker
in response to Lewis NixOn's cabled inquiry as
TO whether or not the boss authorized Commits
sioner Murphy's appointment of Devery as first
deputy commissioner. 1t became more and
more evident that Tammany was rent into hos
tile camps by the selection of the ex-chief. and
Republican politicians talked of getting rid OF
him by preferring charges against him for not
suppressing gambling houses.
Commissioner Murphy talked guardedly about
Devery and repeated his declaration that he
himself would run the department
Brooklyn Democrats, il was learned plan to
send Bernard j. York TO see Hugh Mclaughlin
in Florida and get his Instructions as to the
course for them TO pursue. Deputy Chief P. H.
Mclaughlin said fatty that he would not take
the second deputy cOmmissionership.
Magistrate Crane repeated his advice to the
police to smash gambling places, and said it
would be good thing for Commissioner Muir
ply TO clear out Canfield's.

ASKS FOR REIMBURSEMENT.
Suit Brought Against Local Title In
surance Company.

surance Company.
Chauncey Marshall today filed suit at law
against the Washington Title Insurance
Company, asking the court to require the
defendant to reimburse him for an outlay
of $500, said to have been expended in de-
Tending a certain title. 1t is explained
that in July, 1892, the plaintiff, desiring to
purchase a certain tract of land known as
part of the Naylor farm, was assured by
the defendant that the then owners had a
good record title in fee simple to the land.
The plaintiff thereupon purchased the
tract, but in September, 1894, discovered
that as to about one and one-half acres of
the land it was not true that the parties
from whom the plaintiff purchased ever
owned a good record title in fee simple
thereto. Suit in equity was instituted
against the plaintiff and others, for the re-
coVery Of the one and One-half acres by the
heirs of one Charles Howard.
1t is asserted that the defendant con-
sented to the employment of counsel to de-
fend the cause. promising the plaintiff that
If unsuccessful in the defense 1t would re-
imburse the plaintiff for all loss by reason
of the alleged error in certifying that the
title was good. A decree was rendered de-
claring the heirs to be owners in fee Sim
pie of the one and one-half acres of land
by reason of adverse possession. The plain
tiff now seeks reimbursement for the al
legged outlay in defending the title. Attor-
neys VIM. w. Boarman and F. H. Mackey
represent the plaintiff.
