TAMMANY REBELS TO FIGHT
WILL ORGANIZE IN THE DISTRICTS OF
MURPHY, MMAHON AND HAFFEN.

The rebels in Tammany Hall who threatened
at the recent meeting of the general commit
tee TO create a disturbance by attacking the
trumvirate-Murphy, Mcmahon and Haffen-
have not been quieted for all time. despite the
fact that they were effectually throttled at the
meeting by the gag law methods Of T. c. T.
Grain, who presided. 1t was arranged that there
should be an outbreak at the meeting, but con-
trary to all expectations and to all precedent the
county committee was called upon to ratify
the action of the executive committee in ap-
pointing the advisory committee. and there was
opportunity, therefore for John F. Mcintyre
and Frederick B. House. who were thoroughly
primed for the occasion. to get a word in edge
wise.
The rank and file of Tammany Hall are de-
termined that there shall be individual
leader for the party in this city, and that the
trumvirate. which they say is the instrument
of Richard Croker. must go. The rebels are
sounding representative Democrats on the ad-
visibility of holding a conference in Saratoga
some time in August, at which a movement is
to be formulated to launch Hugh j. Grant as
the leader of Tammany Hall, and to smash
the triumvirate. Efforts will be made to form
new organizations of Tammany Democrats in
the Assembly districts. of which the leaders are
Charles F. Murphy. Daniel F. Mcmahon and
in no way connected with the Greater New
York Democracy. so that there will be a three
cornered Democratic fight in each of the dis
trcts at the September primaries The men
who are dissatisfied with the triumvirate are
quietly at work. but. according to report. are
doing some effective organizing.
The constituents of Louis F. Haffen, Bor-
ough President of The Bronx, and one of the
Tammany triumvirs. at a meeting last night In
Daibler's Hall. One hundred and-sxty- -ninth-st-
and Union-ave. The Bronx. passed resolutions
denouncing in strong language Senator Joseph
P Hennessy and characterizing him as an in
crate and unworthy the confidence and sup
port Of the Democrats of his home district"
The resolutions were introduced by Albert Mel
son and seconded by Charles G. F. Wahle. in
a vigorous speech George c. Dawson presided
The meeting was held only a block from Sena-
tor Hennessy's home. About two hundred Dem
ocrats of the Thrty-frst and Thirty second
Election districts were present. The resolutions
declare that Senator Hennessy owes the posi-
tion he now fills and whatever prominence he
now enjoys in public life to the friendship and
favor Of President Haffen. who not less than
two years ago endangered his own political
future by insisting against the advice of his
friends on she nomination Of Mr.. Hennessy
for the Senate; that the voters have no sym
pathy with Senator Hennessy's unWarranted
attacks upon his political benefactor- The res
oIutions eulogize President Haffen's public rec
ord.
Mr. Wahle was particularly bitter in his at
tack upon Senator Hennessv. saying that warm
blood is a stranger TO his veins
He and Mitchell" he continued. hide behind
the Passac connawa Club. truly described as the
Pass -the-coin-away- 1t is engaged now in
an attempt TO bunco the people of this borough.
We have soreheads. and need no 1ngrates-
The people are satisfied with President Haften
the fake politicians must be satisfied
Walter N Chandler also spoke in support of
the resolutions. which were adopted by unani-
nous vote.
