CARROLL STILL ON TOP.
THE DISCOVERY SENDS A COLD CHILL
DOWN THE SPINES OF THE
OLD CROKER GUARD.

4 cold chill ran down the spines of the old
Croker guard in Tammany Hall when, after
talking things over yesterday they found that
John F. Carroll. the "iceman" and friend OF the
"grafters" is on top and likely TO stay on top
The informal poll of district leaders showed
twelve unequivocally for Croker. whether he
comes back next fall or year from next fall,
and the rest, almost without exception, on the
side Of Carroll II Croker should return next
week he would possibly be able to kick over the
intrenehments planted by the leaders who want
an organization with resident boss, but then
again. he might not, for the cement between
the district bricks to use a figure, is setting
with amazing quickness. and in a few weeks
1t will be solid as a rock.
Carroll did not grasp tn. reins Of power with
cut counting the cost His formal statement
declaring that the district leaders will hereafter
run the organization, was not made till he had
| checked off twenty names on the list of lead
ers. And he kept at the checking until he had
FIVE more.
Carroll has won because the legalized system
of grating practised under the Van Wyck
administration more than doubled the fortunes
of just about a score of district leaders. That
system suits the friends Of John F. Carroll, who
will toll and dig and delve politically in the
hope that they can have another turn at it,
The uncertain quantity in the situation is
Tim" Sullivan, who will return to-day from
Hot Springs His natural affiliations will be
with the Carroll crowd. He was with Carroll
and Van Wyck in nominating the county ticket
last fall and is likely TO be with him again.
The Croker men are lining up for fight. and
are inclined TO rally behind Charles F. Murphy.
ex-Dock Commissioner. for chairman of the
finance committee. Even if Murphy should win
as the candidate OF the Croker guard, Carroll
would still be on top. because Carroll repre-
sents what the majority OF the district leaders
want.
The lineup is according to the canvass made
yesterday, substantially as follows:
