CROKER IN CARROLL FIGHT
ORDERS THE DEFEAT OF HIS FORMER
LIEUTENANT.

An interesting evidence Of the contention that
the retirement of Richard Croker was nominal,
rather than actual, was furnished by ex-Assem-
blyman Moses Ryttenberg, of the XXIXth AS
selnbly District. To reporter last night Ryt-
tenberg said that he had beenstoId by a friend
of Richard Croker that Croker wanted him-ad-
vised. was the word he used-to oppose Carroll
in the district fight. -. -.-=-. -.-
Predictions were freely hazaEded yesterday
that Carroll would win in his district, and
also gain control of Tammany Hall His con-
troll of the Hall is doubtful. The districts that
seem likely to return leaders who favor him

all. Eight other districts may be fairly cassed
as doubtful. This would leave eighteen to Muir
phy. any other leader that the followers of
Croker may decide upon. 1t is hard to see how
Carroll can obtain control of a ma jority of the
districts. This does not deter many prophets
from ricking hin. the next leader, however.
Much depends upon the success of the Greater
New-YOrk Democracy. John c. Sheehan last
night. while announcing the claims of his lead
ers, would not stand for any definite forecast
except in his own. the IXth.

THOUGHT MERGER Is ASSURED.
SAN FRANCISCO MEN DROPPED FROM
WELLS. FARGO BOARD-HARRIMANS
FRIENDS ELECTED.
fBr TELEGRAPH To TIE TRIBUNE.


San Francisco. Sept 1J.-The result o5 the
postponed annual meeting of Wells. Fargo &
Co to-day is believed here to mean that the
rumor of merger of the four great express
companies of the United States is true. Only
three local directors were selected. 81 that
quorum cannot be obtained without three direc-
tors coming from New-York- Though the officers
all refused to discuss the questions of the re-
meal OF the general offices to Nev-Tork and
the merger there is no doubt here that this re-
movaI will soon take place. as no business can
be done here with only three resident directors.
The three new directors are all intimately
sociated with E. H. Hartman
The local men elected as directors to-day were
Dudley c. Evans. George L. Gray and H. s
King It is said that their retention officers
Is only temporary The other directors elected
were z. Fl. Hartman. j. J. MCCook, H. T.
Huntington, ". V. s. Th0Tne W. T. Van BTuut
and F. d. Underwood. Mr.. Christensen John
Bermingham and Nathan Stein. of this city,
were dropped from the board Mr. Evans. who
has been acting president since Mr.. Valentines
DEATH was elected president. George +. Gray
first vice-president and Homer = King treas
urer.
The general report here is that Mr.. HarrimsH
will soon be elected president. with Mr. Evans
as general manager. Another report is that Ar.
Hartman has secured the controlling interest W

yiously held a large amount of stock. The com

Birmingham Ala. Sept 15.-The Republican Ex-

REPUBLICAN, PRIMARY FIGHTS.
NOT EXPECTED TO RESULT IN THE DIS
PLACEMENT OF ANY DISTRICT LEADERS.

NOT EXPECTED TO RESULT IN THE DIS
PLACEMENT OF ANY DISTRICT LEADERS.
There is not the same internecine warfare in
the Republican organization that is the rule in
Tammany this year. All, or nearly all, the pres
ent district leaders will be reelected. The Re
pubicans are not without contests entirely, but
it is believed that the contests will result In no
changes. The fights mostly unimportant
and are of purely local interest.
In the lid District Dennis Shea is opposed by
Michael Hines. Both sides have made Wig
orous canvass, but Shea, the present leader, is
practically to win.
In the XIIth District John 5teibling, the pres
ent leader is opposed by Jadob Neustead, but
Steibling is said to be assured of victory.
The XIXth District is the scene of a bitter
fight between Moses G. Beyers and William A.
Cronbe. Crombie succeeded George Bidwell
as leader of the district. and is supported by
Bidwell and Qugg. Beyers is making an aS-
gressive fight.
In the XXIst Abraham Gruber has op-
ponent Philip Bloch, but Gruber's hold on the
district is tenacious.
Charles Hess, formerly leader of the XVIII,
is trying to wrest control of the district away
from McDougall Hawkes., his successor, but his
efforts probably will fail
Isaac Newman, leader of the XSXIId, is op-
posed by J. Jordan, but Newman is likely to be
returned as leader.

SAVED MISS STONE.
THE CONSUL GENERAL TO TURKEY MAKES
THIS STATEMENT AT SENATOR
GREEN'S DINNER.

Binghamton, y. Y. Sept. Estate Senator George
Edward Green gave dinner to-day to the Repub-
Iican workers of Broome, Tioga and Cortandt
counties. Among those who spoke to the assem-
bled guests was the Hon. Charles NJ Dickinson,
Consul General TO Turkey who made his first public
statement since his return from Constantinople IN
regard to responsibility for the capture of Miss
Ellen NJ Stone. He said:
"I believe that Theodore Roosevelt saved Miss
Stones life 1t evident. when we encountered
that work that the Macedonian Committee
responsible for her capture, and 1t was question
to how closely related to the Bulgarian Govern
ment her captors might he. But when President
Roosevelt felegraphed me to say to the Bulgarian
Government that If any harm TO Miss Stone
the United States would be satisfied With nothing
except full placing of the responsibility for her
CAPTURE and injury. the responsibility fixed.
That telegram undoubtedly saved Miss stones life

RUSSELL RENEWS HIS AITACh.
INSISTS THAT MURPHY IN DOCK BOARD
FAVORED COSTLY CONTRACTS.


The rejoinder prepared by Charles F. Murphy.
Dock Commissioner. to the charges of maladInin-
jstration and favoritism made by William H. Rus
sell is described by Mr.. Russell wholly made
quate. Mr. Russell says that, although Mr.. Murphy
was not president of the Board of Dock Commits
must have approved contracts. 1t IS true that
there was only enc company able to supply asphalt
according to the contract Mr.. Russell says but the
specifications of the Dock Board framed
as to make it impossible for any other company to
compete. The same company doing work upon
competitive bids in the Department of Highways
for less money, and Washington and other cities
were letting contracts for better asphalt paving
about half the price.
Mr.. Murphy's statement that only one-haf of the
pier at Fifty-sixth-st. rented to the Seaboard
Contracting Company is shown to be untrue by the
language of the contract Mr. Russell says ana
Mr.. Murphy is mistaken in regard the restrIc-
tions in the lease Of the bu1khead between West
Fifty-ffth and FiftysXth SITS, for such
tions exist. As for the price paid by the Sicilian
Asphalt Company it made in 1891. before the
present improvements existed. Mr. Russell adds
Every fact stated by me as such in my speech of
Murphy, which l stated President when I
should have said treasurer of the Dock Board,
was correctly and accurately stated, and If the
records kept by the Dock Commissioners to be
oelieVed. Mr.. Murphy five times consented to
lutlons passed in July. 1901 and once in December.
1901 the minutes and records showing resolutions
TO have been Unanimously adopted" Mr. Murphy
has appealed TO the record. Let him stand by 1t.

a big demand for it.
In the face of all this display Of money and

outcome. and in spite of his roseate talk Devery
looks glum and serious and gives evidence of
doubts 1t will be d bitter disappointment if he

than $4,000 But whatever may be the out
come the whole struggle is between Sheehan
and Devery. Goodwin cuts insignificant
figure. Ii is reported that he would be with
drawn altogether were it not for the fear OF
surrendering few Tammany votes to Devery.
The police making most strenuous efforts
to see that both sides get fair play and that no

would not have much Of chance if the police
had the deciding vote. The district extends into

happy standing in the department. he says to
