Police Commissioner Murphy said Yesterday
afternoon that he was going TO break up the
Tenderloin." and when he was asked what he
meant by that. he replied:
I'm going to divide up the precinct It's too
large. I'm not going to change the numbers Of
precincts make any precinct, but I'm
going to take away parts of the Tenderloin and
add them other precincts. Then I may
take some parts of other precincts and add them
TO the territory to be patrolled from the West
Thirtieth-st. station. The order to change the
boundaries of the precinct will go into effect
next Monday night Tuesday morning. I'm
having the maps prepared now"

was captain of it. and gave ii the name about
twenty years ago. is at present bounded by

Forty-second SITS. Police Commissioner Muir
phys plan is to take away from the precinct all
that portion south Of Twenty -third-st and ex-
tend portion of the precinct as far west as

necessary in the boundaries Of five other pre-
Clncts IL VIII be necessary 10 transfer about
h1ty men away from the precinct and transfer
some other men to it if the Commissioner car

terday that by changing the boundaries of m.
precinct he could wipe out tne name Tender
ION some Of the officials Police Headduar-
ters said the changes would make the name
even more fitting for the new precinct than II
boast that he had the "tenderloA" Of the citv in

GOVERNOR HERE TO-DAY.
TO MEET SENATOR PIATT THIS AFTER.
NOON-THE CONFERENCE TO
MORROW. y

The chief topics of conversation among the pon-
ticians who gathered about political headquar-
ters in the Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening.
were the conferences TO be held to-day and to-
morrow. the visit Of the Governor who will
arrive in this city this afternoon. and the stand
taken by Mr Oden regarding police legislation
The Governor will attend the dinner OF the
Lotos Club this evening Between the hour OF
his arrival and the dinner hour Mr.. OdeU will
see Senator Platt. and of course the subject of
police legislation will come up for discussion.
The main conference of leaders. however. will
not be held until tomorrow afternoon. This
the Governor will not attend. he is expected
to return Albany tomorrow morning at IL
O'Clock.
Senator PIatt last night again declared that
there was no quarrel between himself and the
GovernOr-"only healthy difference of opinion"
He added that at the conferences TO be held
to-day and tomorrow the question of addi-
tional police legislation would be thoroughly dis
CuSSed, and the decision reached would govern
future action at Albany. If 1t be decided that
further legislation is inadvtsable, all efforts 10
enact metropolitan police bill will be aban-
dOned. il is understood, and Senator Platt VIII
give up his contention that such a measure is
necessary. If. however. the conferences agree
that there should be metropolitan police bill
then such bill will be introduced and every
ernor it said 1t freely predicted last
night that the conference would decide 10 re-
nounCe all effOrtS 10 pass a metropolitan ponce
bill at Albany. and that Senator Piatt would
aCquiesCe in this decision.
Those who have said that the action of the
Governor in refusing to support and sign
metropolitan police bill has brought about
irrecOncilable breach between the Senator and
the Governor are declared by friends of both TO
be absolutely wrong These friends OF the Re-
publican leaders say that Z is simply an AMIGA
BILE difference OF opinion, and that the friendly
relations between the Senator and the Governor
will not be interrupted.
There is a prospect that the conference called
for tomorrow by Senator Piatt will be largely
attended. Several influential leaders in the or
ganiZation were in the city last night. Senator'S
Wilcox Green. Elsberg and others called on the
Senator. Other callers were Robert c. Morris.
president of the County Committee; National
Committeeman F. s Gibbs. Reuben L. Fox and
Colonel Dady. All OF these callers were inclined.
To be reticent and said that the whole matter
would have 70 rest now until after the confer
ence tomorrow.
