Then, while the strong and relentless

WON'T HUNT TINT DEER
p. T. Collier Says That, 1nyoay,
There Has No Idea Of-Hurting 1t.

The deer which was alen To Lakewood. y. J.
a day two ago from p. il. Golfers estate at
Eatontown. n. J., to be hunted with hounds and
which was saved from that experience through
the interference of the officers Of the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty 20 Animals, was
taken back to EatontOwn yesterday, ana turned
out with the other deer in Mr., Golfers park
there. J, P. Hanes the president OF the Ameri-
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. had feared from the manner of several
of the wOuld-be hunters, when their projected
sport was stopped in Lakewood. that attempt
10 run the deer would be made at some other
place, and he had several men watching the
stable where it kept. When they told him
that it had been AIKEN to Eatontown he in
formed the Sheriff of Monmouth County, and
obtained from him promise that he would
serve notice on Mr.. Collier that any attempt to
run the deer would be met with the fun force
of the law. Mr.. Haincs much excited over
the affair, which he said was utterly brutal.
one Of the most cruel and atrociOus things of
which have heard" He said that he intended to
follow the matter up. and see that the deer was
not maltreated. He spoke in the -varmest terms
of the prompt response made by the sheriTs of
the two counties to his appeals for help.
Mr. Collier, at his city house yesterday, seemed
to think that the whole trouble caused by a
misunderstanding the part of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and others
as to what was intended with the deer. He said
that 1t would not have been hurt, that they only
wanted TO use 1t to give the hounds work, as the
day was too cold and frosty for a drag hunt
As to there being intention of hunting the
animal at some other time. he said Mr.. Haines's
fears were without founda ton. the deer had
been turned out with the others which he
owned, and no one had the slightest intention of
hunting il now.
Those men don't know what they are talk
ing about" said Mr.. Collier. Il wouldn't be
cruel 10 a deer for good deal but don't see
that there is any very great cruelty in running
them. II is just good hound WORK We wouldn't
let the hounds hurt the animal. Why. 1 never
did cruel thing like that and don't intend to-
The deer is back with the rest now. and there
IL will stay. The whole disturbance is prepos-

Inference from Murphy's Statement
Regarding McCleLlan's Successor.
LEADER DENIES HILL COMPACT.

Charles F. Murphy the Tammany leader, re-
turned TO this city last night. after an all day
conference with Mayor-elect Mcclellan in Wash
ington lie was accompanied by John J. De-
lany, who is slated for the position of Corpora
ton Counsel i'm McClellan's administration Mr.
Delany was present at the conference in wash
ington and it is understood that great deal
OF advice was given to Mr.. Mcclellan by Murphy
and Delany regarding heads of departments to
be appointed on January l. but the two advisers
would not talk about it when they were met at
the Pennsylvania station in Jersey City by
newspaper men last night
Mr.. Murphy was asked who would be the
Democratic candidate for Congressman TO sue
coed Mr.. Mcclellan, and his only reply was Il
smile. He continued TO smile when the names
of several men were mentioned. but he answered
a direct question by saying that the candidate
would not be a resident of the XIIth Congress
District. That helped to create an impression
that the candidate will be W. Bourke Cochran.
whose reception back into the Tammany fold
would be ratified by such nomination
A story that Mr.. Murphy had met David b.
Hill at the Hoffman House recently and had
agreed with him that IL would be the right
thing 10 send a solid New-York delegation to
the next Democratic National Convention In
support of Chief Judge Alton B. Parker, was de-
MED absolutely by Mr. Murphy last evening
He said he had not seen Mr. Hill nor had any
communication with him for months, and he
had not made up his mind as to the support OF
any man for President.
incidentally Borough President Cantor said
last night that he would begin a trip through
the State some time this week. Mr.. Cantor S
mission has been talked about in advance as
intended to tear some holes in Mr.. HIS
fences. but Mr. Cantor said last night that he
had no thought of weakening Mr.. Hills in
fiuence in the State. He believed. he said, that
there ought TO be both harmony and independ-
ence at the Democratic State Convention if the
Democrats were to have any chance of electine
a Governor and carrying the State for the
Democratic candidate for President If the
convention was run entirely by the Hill faction
or 10y any other faction. he said there would be
much bad feeling stirred up that it would
destroy all chance OF a Democratic victory
Mr. Cantor's trip, therefore. may be considered
for harmony.
The upstate organizations will soon elect
delegates TO the State convention. which will
meet in May. Meanwhile the State committee
will meet i'm March and decide on the exact
date and the place for the meeting of the con-
VentiOn.
