WHY THE SLATE HALTS.
ALL AWAIT LITTLETON.
VIII He ProUide for the McCarreB
Men, the Question.
4 HOSPITAL

The continued absence of Borough President
elect Martin W. Littleton, of Brooklyn. in Ten
nessee. where he went in time To escape the
McCarren dinner is causing lot of trouble in
Tammany Hall Mr.. LittetOns good graces are
wanted by Charles F. Murphy and Senator Pat
rick H. McCarren. the new leader of the Brook
lyn machine. In fact, they wanted very
much.
Mr.. LittIeton is in Tennessee, hunting. He
went there little before the arrangements
were made for the big dinner in honor of Sena-
tor McCarren He sent a letter to the dinner
saying that he had about the same opinion with
reference to politics and honesty after election
as he held before. The MCCarren men did not
overexert themselves applauding this sentiment.
The Tammany slate cannot be made out until
Mr.. McCarren learns from Mr. Littleton just
what Mr.. Littleton is going TO do for the No
Carren machine in Brooklyn. If Mr. Littleton is
going to be magnanimous and recognize the
McCarren men in dividing the good things. then
Mr.. McCarren will not have to as for SC many
things from Mayor Mcclellan. If, on the other
hand, Mr. Littleton decides to build a machine
of his own and take of the tried and true
friends OF Hugh Mclaughlin and James Shevlin.
then Messrs. Murphy and McCarren will have
to take care of Senator McCarren's machine
by dividing what properly is the Manhattan
patronage so that McCarren's men will be taken
care of.
This is the real reason for the painful silence
about the composition of the slate. The proba-
bility is that Mr. Littleton, who is known to be
of a kindly disposition. will be generous with
Mr.. McCarren and his friends. to keep peace
in the family. The minute Murphy and Nc
Carren learn that to certainty they will hurry
down to Washington. confer with Colonel Nc
CIellan, and fix up the slate.
Mr. Littleton is expected back from Tennessee
this week. He may get home in time TO attend
the Swanstrom dinner tonight If he does not,
he wiil be here by Saturday night Just at
present he is the boss of the situation.
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader,
stayed indoors all day yesterday. dOctOring a
cold. He told his friends over the telephone
last night that he had had good two days
rest and that he would be all right in day or
