ing-Two Leaders Ha,e "Big Talk. -

il has been practically determined, a. a
result OF the recent election. that Tam
many and the Brooklyn Democracy will
act in close alliance in the big political
game for the recapture of the municipal
administration next year. There is to be
no preliminary diminishing between the
organizations on each side Of the Fast
River. such as disturbed the party councils
in 1897 and 1901
Charles Francis Murphy. the new leader
Of Tammauy and the most notable victor
in last Tuesdays fight AZ the polls and the
Hon. Hugh Mclaughlin. the veteran chief
| tain Of the Democratic hosts in BROOKLYN
who also scored one 81 his greatest political
triumphs on that day. have already, SO II
is understood. mapped ont definite plans
for the next Mayoralty fight, including
the choice not only Of a candidate for the
head Of the ticket, but for all the other
important places.
The conference at which these plans were
discussed took place bet tween Mr. McLaugh-
lin and Mr.. Murphy on Saturday last. The
Wiloughbv street auction room in Brook
Ign was the scene Of the confab. but the
news only leaked out last night.
The meeting bet ween the aged Brooklyn
statesman and the rising star Of Tammany
was conducted with much privacy. and
when IN n latter reached the auction room
late on Saturday evening there wasn't a
single district leader about, and he passed
into the inner sanctum without being identi-
fed 10y the few hangers-on
The two persons who would naturally be
most interested in the conference were
osb ~
p II. McCarren. who was participating in
the closing races az the Alueluct track,
| and James Shevlin who was shooting
| grouse down in North Carolina
In fact. the only person to disturb the
| heart-to-heart talk between the TWO big
| political managers was cartridge Com
missioner John l. Shea. and he only ar
rived when il had Taste nsarlytuo hours.
| l. is said that a. a result of the conference
| a close alliance has been es sbishsd between
| the two organizations. on the dc finite un-
derstandinR, however. that Under no CIR
cumstances is Richard Croker 10 take any
| further part in the management of Tam
| many. This il said to have been Mr.
McLaughlin's ultiIna,um.
| Next year 1dmmany l. to have the naming
| of the candidate for Mayor. while the Comp
troller is TO come from Brooklyn. This,
| al least il the guess Of those who profess
| 10 know something Of the Mclaughlin E
| Murphy plans. II is also said that If Da.id
r. Hill wants TO keep himself TO the front a.
the State leader he will have to do 20 wi,h-
out the aid active OF the Mclaughlin
| Murphy combine.
Nothing OF definite character as TO the
object Of Mr.. Murphy's mission to Brooklyn
| could be learned last night. One of Mr.
| McIaughlins close friends said:
Il believe that as both organizations are
ged al present there is going 10 be no
ante-campaign squabbling next year Mr.
Mclaughlin has a strong admiration for
| the new Tammany leader. and If nothing
occurs To disturb the harmonious relations
Of he two organizations, the Democrat c
fusion.
| Il don't think that either Mr. Mclaughlin
or Mr.. Murphy discussed the claims of
the probable Mayoralty candidates Thei,
| meeting, in my opinion. was merely 70
| shake hands over the great work each
| had done on election day and cement the
strong bonds ~ friendship which had
grown up during IN" campaign
According to despatch from Albany

Senator McCarrpn Of Brooklyn il 10 b.,

for United States Senator When Mc(arrer
was asked last night about the ALLEGED

it. It's a little early 10 make states fol
