MURPHY ENDORSEMENT" C0UP"
SENATOR PLATT SAYS IT'S TOO
RIDICULOUS TO DISCUSS.
Zone Of Murphy's Jokes"--Senator Doesn't
See How GrOut and Fornes Could
Accept Tammany NominationS-They
Both Seem to SEQ Promptly-Cuttins
Agrees With Them-Mayoe Silent.

last night concerning the "feeler" put forth
by Leader Charles F. Murphy Of Temmany
Hall to the affect that Edward NJ. Circuit
and Charles " Fornes. the candidates for
Comptroller and President Of the Board OF
Aldermen on the Citizens Union and Re-
publican tickets, would be good enough
for Mr.. Murphy on a Tammahy city ticket
headed by George B. Mcclellan for Mayor.
@That's one of Mr.. Murphy's jokes enid
Senator Platt- "He doesn't mean anything
Of the kind He put that out as joke.
SWELL, Senator, if it is a joke" Mr.. Plat
was told, Mr.. Murphy made 1t very clear
to the newspapers Of New York city and
Brooklyn through his friends that he would
like to have story of that kind printed.
That's all very we'll, replied Senator
Platt 4but tell you it is one Of Mr.. Murphys
jokes. He isn't serious about 1t, and never
was serious"
Gould Mr.. Grout and Mr.. Fornes accept
the nomination for Comptroller and Presi-
dent Of the Board OF Aldermen on the Tam
many ticket?'
Il don't believe they would replied
Senator Plat.
"But could they?"
NO, Ttplleu SJCHotoI ieAec NoSAcA WIZ
mot without the loss OF self-respect.'
But, Senator. Mr.. Grout issued state
ment at the Brooklyn Club last night which
many people have accepted to mean that
he would accept a nomination from Tam
many il it came to him in the right way.
Don't believe he ever made such state
ment," replied Senator Plat -..
"But, Senator Plat, Mr.. circuit wrote
out the statement in the Brooklyn Club.
and Mr.. Bruce. president Of the New
York Republican County Committee, has
not looked at Mr.. CIRCUITS statement equint-
eyed, and Mr.. Cutting thinks that the
nomination Of Grout and Fornes on the
Tammany ticket would help Mayor Low.
Il don't care to comment on that, re-
piled Senator Plat; 4all that care to say
is that such proposition as putting Circuit
and Fornes on the Tammany ticket IL
absurd and ridiculous, and it IL ono Of
Mr.. Murphy's jokes. Please don't let's
talk about it any more. 1t Is too ridicu-
lous to waste time on"
FE1NT TO DRAW OUT M'LAuoMN.
Other politicians talked about Mr.. Muir
phys sfeeler" to have Grout and Fosnes
on the Democratic city ticket. and Il was
| their Interpretation that Mr.. Murphy put
it out for the purpose Of getting . rise
out OF Uncle Hughey Mclaughlin over In
Brooklyn" You see, Uncle McLaughln
over in Brooklyn has been insisting that Mr..
Murphy should nominate candidate for
Mayor who would catch the independent
vote, and he has believed all along that Mr..
Mcclellan should not be nominated because
he was too close to Mr.. Murphy: but late on
Saturday night, when Mr.. Mclaughlin
and James Shevlin and other Brooklyn
Democrats riveted to the Mclaughlin
machine were questioned as to Mr.. Murphv's
"feeler" to put Grout and Fornes on the
| ticket, they held up their hands in holy
horror, and didn't believe for moment
that Mr.. Murphy would do it.
Yet, Mr.. Murphy had submitted to the
Mclaughlin machine the names Of two
independent Democrats, Grout and Fornes,
and when Mr.. Mclaughlin and his friends
said -Shucks,' MIR: Murphy got the afore:
said rise" out Of Mr.. Mclaughlin and
at the same time made it manifest that
sons for Directing to the nomination Of
Uncle Hughey Mclaughlin, the Tam
manyites say, has gone altogether too far
