BARS DOOR TO DEYfRY,,
MURPHY ABSOLUTE RULER
Tammany Committeeman to Select
Their Own Successors.

NEW YORK, May 2--Tammany Halls
doors were securely barricaded against
William s. Devery. and his last hope
OF sitting in the Fourteenth Street wig
VAN as a member of the executive COM
mittee was strangled absolutely by the
order of Charles T. Murphy. at the meet
ing Of the executive committee last
night
This was accomplished by amending
the rules of the committee, so that the
old committee at its last meeting in the
year shall pass upon the members Sc
lected by the various districts, and shall
have power to reject the man selected by
the district delegation, and choose one
whom il prefers.
Thus, if Devery were to be elected at
the primaries as the leader year after
year, under the new rule he would never
be able to break into the committee.
