Murphy So and They Say He Is Listening
--P. ID. Olney's Name Comes Up Again.
John F. Carroll. former deputy leader
Of Tammany Hail. started for Europe
yesterday on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
with Mrs. Carroll and his three children.
One of Mr.. CAROLS friends said that he
Is to meet Richard Croker in London next
week. When Mr.. Croker sailed away i'm
mediately after the defeat Of Edward NJ.
Shepard in 1901, the relations between
himself and Mr.. Carroll were not over
pleasant. Lewis Nixon became the osten-
sible leader OF Tammany Hall for a short
time, and then quit. to be followed by the
triumvirs; and they were succeeded by
Charles F. Murphy, who. for years. had been
on the closest terms with Mr.. Croker.
At last September's primaries when Mr..
Murphy won the leadership Mr.. Carroll
won the severe battle in his own district
which Mr.. Murphy put up against him.
Mr.. Carroll subsequently resigned as leader
of his district. Then came the talk that
Mr.. Murphy would certainly nominate
Representative George B. Mcclellan for
Mayor next fall. and this talk has been
going on ever since. Mr.. Mcclellan started
for Europe three months ago, and is still
abroad.
While Mr.. Carroll has resigned the leader
ship OF his district he still controls it. and
it may be said without fear Of contradiction
that associated with him are seven or eight
leaders of Tammany who do not believe
that Mr.. Murphy should nominate Mr..
Mcclellan for Mayor 1t wa declared
yesterday that Mr.. Carroll will 80 say to
Mr.. Croker in London.
The objections of the minority leaders
close to Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Mcclellan coming
from Mr.. Murphy own district and that for
a number of years Mr.. Croker, while per-
sonally friendly to Mr.. McCl Ian, believed
that he made better Congressman at Wash
ington than he would Mayor Of New York
Tammany leaders who are associated with
Mr.: Carroll agree now with the sentiments
OF Mr.. Croker expressed in those times.
A personal friend Of leader Murphy said
last night: Yes. it is true that Mr.. Murphy
is , very partial to the nomination of Mr..
been very, intimate for a number Of years
Mr.. Murphy highly respects Mr. Mcclellan,
and Mr., Mcclellan looks up to Mr.. Murphy
with admiration and esteem. MIR, Murphy
has heard all the talk Of the minority lead ers
Of Tammany against McClellans nomna-
ton. and he has listened to it attentively.
While he IL personally friendly to Mr.
Mcclellan. let me tell you that il it can be
demonstrated to him that some other man
than Mr.. Mcclellan should be nominated
hesitate minute to nominate that man,
and for that matter. Mr.. Mcclellan will be
the last man in the world to embarrass
Mr., Murphy in any way,
AMr; Murphy lie sending to all sorts and
conditions OF Democrats below the Bronx,
asking for their opinion az to the right man
to be nominated, not only for Mayor. but
for the other offices to be voted for in New
York city next fall. Mr.. Murphy has heard
all the nonsensical talk that a yaller dog
that Tammany is sure winner. He does
not accept any Of those statements. He
will not nominate yailer dog ticket but
he Is casting about for the very best men
to 90 on the ticket.
Another point. continued Mr.. Murphys
at this time is that II Tammany wins he will
put an end to all graft az far a. possible,
and he will try to have TaInmany Hall
rejuvenated and its skirts kept clear from
scandals, graft and the hideous mess which
sMr Murphy has also been told" went
on Mr.. Murphy's friend. that the Demo
Gratis Of New York city might look upon
Mr. MCCLELLAN as Mr.. Murphy's especial
Mayor, and that anything Of that kind
would be disastrous to the future Of Tam
many Hall Mind you. am not saying
anything against Mr.. Mcclellan and I
am not saying anything for him. am
simply telling you Of the conversations
I have had with Mr.. Murphy. and which
In my estimation the Democratic Of New
York city are entitled to read"
