Charles F. Murphy telegraphed from
Mount Clemens last night to have a meet
ing of the Executive Committee of Tam
many Hall called for o'clock Tuesday
evening and meeting Of the general COM
mttee for o'clock the same night The
notices will go out to-day.
None of the Tammany leaders in town
last night could say exactly what the p,ir-
pose of the meetings is. Mr.. Murphy
offered no explanation in his telegram.
Hell expected home to-day or tomorrow.
One suggestion was that Mr. Murphy
might deem il expedient to pass resolutions
r,osariing the Russian n,assacres Of the jews
There was lively interest aroused as to
whether or not he might have some move
to make in the matter Of one Devery, who
las confessed that he means to bolt
Tammany and run for Mayor. AS the
technical legal attitude of Tammany tow
ard Devery is that he is not the executive
member of the Ninth. proposition to ex-
pei him for treason would hardly be in
line.
Devery's case is on appeal from the de-
cision of the Appellate Division, it being
conceded that he has made a legal demand
to be admitted and that his demand has
been refused.
Notices of the meeting will be sent to
Deverys PA members Of the General Com
mittee, who have been 'ecognized by Tam
many and are on the lis They will at
tend, in spite OF Deve,y's avowed purpose
TO bolt.
Men close to Leader Murphy say that he
will be glad to have Devery run independ-
emily, as he thinks that in that way the Tam.
many ticket will be saved the odium Of
Deveryism which made moral issue in
1901. On the other hand. the supporters of
Mayor Low who are looking for his renomi-
nation maintain that Devery will help the
fusion movement by drawing votes from
Tammany 1t is alleged by Tammany men
that promises Of financial aid have been
made to Devery by the fusion forces.
He reiterated his declaration that he was
through nirtin." he said. 1Devery clubs
will be formed in every Assembly district

to-day by men from Harlem and from the
to use my name at the head Of clubs which
they're goin' to form. Well have Devery
workingmen's clubs everywhere"

committees of the Democratic organizations
Of the several boroughs which are to de-
eide on the unit of representation in the
city convention and make preparations
LOT II.
A few weeks ago this question was taken
up at @ private dinner at the Democratic
Club, and at the last meeting Of the general
committee Mr.. Murphy offered resolu
ton under which a conference committee
of five was appointed for Manhattan and
The Bronx senator McCarren has taken
the matter up in Brooklyn and committees
have been appointed In Queens and Rich

The unit Of representation undoubtedly
will be one delegate for every 500 votes
Or major fraction thereof cast for Colcr
for Governor. Under that apportionment
Leader Murphy will absolutely control the
convention and that fact ought to have
some effect on the constantly recurring
stories that Kings is going to 'force'
Brooklyn man on him.
