MURPHY MAY FIGHT CROKER.
TO RETIRE as DISTRICT LEADER IN
ORDER TO HAVE MORE TINE
FOR TANIAIANY

Charles 7. Murphy, leader OF the Tammany
forces in the XYIIIth District. and also leader
Of Tammany Hail. who is now in West
Baden, is preparing for the coming mu-
nicipal campaign. He is drafting his plans
with no idea of interference from Rich
ard Croker any else. Within
the next two months Mr.. Murphy will retire
from the leadership of his district in order to
give more time TO the affairs OF the organiza-
ton I'm general In this way he viii follow
the example of Richard Croker and others who
stepped out of district leadership to give at
tention TO the broader duties of the organization
in general
The Tammany leaders who are closest 10 Mr..
Murphy say that he feels that the recent CAM
paign a complete victory for him. and that
he is intrenched leader of the organization
beyond eviction even by Croker himself They
point out that never has Croker had a more
loyal friend or stancher ally than Murphy.
Now Murphy, thrust into leadership, feels that
he has won his victory. He took Croker at his
own word when he said he was out OF the
harness forever IF Croker tries to come back,
it is said Murphy will antagonize him and fight
him to a finish. AS to HILL Murphys friends
say he will have nothing to do with the ex-
Senator
Another story is that Murphy will he the City
for Mayor next fall This is the place once filled
by Richard Croker, and Mr.. Murphy's friends
say that il will be nice for him and for Tam
many for Charlie 10 occupy a place once filed
by the ex-Boss The City Chamberlain's salary
under the new charter is $4,000 year. Dr.
z. r. L. Gould is Chamberlain now, and under
his administration the office is run more
businessike lines than for years. Under Tam
many the office of Chamberlain is a soft snap"
Patrick keenan, was City Chamberlain under
the Van WYck administration.
1t will depend on the sentiment in Tammany
Hall at the time TO whether Murphy takes
the place" said a well known Tammany man
yesterday We expect To win. 1t looks now
as II we would. The friends Of Mr. Murphy feel
that he should receive some mark of honor
Croker held the Office of City Chamberlain and
made acquaintance in Wall Street that en-
abled him 10 roll up a fortune. Mr. Murphy
will be guided by circumstances if we come back
next fall. If he can take the Office without II
weakening him in the organization he will take
IT. IT, on the other hand, there should be
strong sentiment against his taking II he will
leave it for some one else"
