Committee viii Meet Tomorrow.

Charles +. Murphy was not at the Ana
wanda Club last night and many politicians
waited vainly for him in the SHADOW of the
lamp post at Twentieth street and Second
avenue
Hugh Mclaughlin did not have his usual
evening game of domnoes with the fire
men in the basement of the Brooklyn City
Hall
About $50 o'clock coupe stopped at the
corner Of Remsen street a block away from
Mr. McLaughlin's house. A man who
looked enough like Mr. Murphy to pose for
his pictures, got out and entered the house.
He was expected, evidently. for the hang
ings were drawn to shut of the front parlor
from the rear parlor where Mr. Mclaughlin
takes those who come to consult him at
night
The visitor did not depart until after
II O'Clock. Mr.. Mclaughlin saw him to
the door, then turned out the hall gas and
went up to bed. His caller walked to the
corner where he was joined by another
man. The coupe picked them up and took
them back to New York.

had been over to talk with Mr. Mclaughlin,

City Committee Friday night.

Mclaughlin that he thinks Brooklyn has
had the Mayoralty nomination often enough

the candidate this time without objection, as
he would not offer any objection to any can
didate Mr. Mclaughlin might choose for
