Strengthening it out. The old time leaders won't
take orders from Nixon. They are willing to take
orders from Croker II IT is through Nixon,
but they don't want the "yoLng man. they

abashed curiosity that lot of schoolboys might
show toward new teacher.

nearly all the district leaders dropped In TO see

then backed off and watched him out OF the corner
of their eyes. Mr.. Nixon has said that "all
leaders look alike to him." and that all IN the
is forgiven and forgotten, has urged the leaders
to come TO Tammany Hall and meet him. When
Mr.. Nixon saw how many leaders visited Tam

is 10 try TO get young men into Tammany Hall.
Later the leaders will report TO the best
means of getting recruits and also to the condi-
