CAUSES ANNOYANCE TO TAMHiiI


New York. June 1.-THE unexpect-
I'd has hapnenad to the amusement
and chagrin Of New York politicians,
for despite the threats of eX-Chlef Oh
Police William S. Devery, no one ever
thought Jnat his clique would n0lnl-

lions and ebulitiOns have always been
regarded as more or less OF Joke
and every reporter writing about him
had inevitably dealt with the sub
iect humOrOusly. But TO Tammany
Hall it is serious enough and none

easily defeat the Tammaly candi-

the limelight as long as possible and

Will withdraw from the clearing house,
a suggestion made some time ago that
another clearing house be organized
is being discussed at some length.
Those who favor the proposition point

trust companies and fOrty-tiye banks
who DO not enjoy the real privileges
of a clearing house association. This
