whole Ttcket-Is He Lining Up with
Tammany ?-McI.aughlin Lying for
Murphy In l0O4-GaynOr for Governor.
Tn to a late hour last night there was
apparently no change In Hugh McI4aughlin's
unAinching opposition to Leader Charles
F. Murphy Of Tammany for placing Circuit
and Fornss on the city ticket.
There Is NO intention to put up an indie
pendent Democratic ticket in Brooklyn,
By petition or otherwise In accordance
with the resolution passed at the county
convention on Saturday night, the enrolled
Democrats in the sister borough are ex-
pected to ratify the Endorsement Of McClel-
Ian by their votes at the polls, and also to
support all other Democratic candidates
OF unqueetioned standing, while left free
In regard to the candidates for Comptroller
and President of the Board OF Aldermen.
Some observant politicians in Brooklyn
yesterday thought they detected signs
Of wavering along the Willoughby street
lines, although MIR. Mclaughlin and Messls.
Shevlin, Shea and York, and most OF tie
Assembly district leaders stood firm IN
their purpose to make no further com
promise than the Endorsement Of Mcclellan.
The action OF Senator P. H. McCarren
in allowing q resolution to be adopted by
the Seymour Club, on Sunday, indorsing
all the Democratic candidates, thus includ-
Ing Grout and Tornes, although no names
were mentioned, had disquieting effect at
the auction room yesterday, and the sig;
day from Mr.. McLaughiin's shrine did not
Il Wa ooi,tended that Senator McCarren
was morally bound to confine the indorse-
ment to Mcclellan in accordance with the
formal instructions Of the executive COM
mittee and the wishes Of Mr.. Mclaughlin.
Senator McCarren's action was interpreted
a. showing tendency on his part to break
away from the policy Of the Kings county
organisation and take sides with MIR Murphy
and Tammany.
Much surprise was expressed over the
alleged change Of attitude of McCarren,
and 1t was recalled that no had all along
been strong In his approval Of McLaughlin's
course and In his censure Of Murphy. 1t
was the latter, according to McCarren,
who was the real 4bull in the china shop
Il seemed to be taken for granted that
McCarren was In state OF semi-revolt
against the cent raj authority, and there was
much speculation as to the extent OF his
influence In inducing some Of the other
district leaders to Join him.
Mr.. Shevln said last night that Senator
McCarren, as well as other district
leaders, was bound to uphold the stand
taken by the organization, as defined by
the executive committee and the borough
city committee. and that no Endorsement
OF the work Of the city convention should
20 beyond that Of the candidate for Mayor.
Mr.. Shevlin also expressed his belief that
worry few Of the district leaders would recede
from the position which has been taken.
It b the opinion Of Mr.. Mclaughlin and
his faithful Heutenants that his controversy
with Murphy will be followed next year
by one Of the bitterest fights in the history
Of ths party for control Of the State organ
izat1cn.
Already there is talk Of launching boom
for Justice William J. Gaynor for the Gov
efnoBhip.
n the wider arena Of State and national
politics next year Mr. Mclaughlin expects
that bis opportunity will come to square
accounts with Charles F. Murphy and
TAmmAny.
Tho Brooklyn Citizen, which is supposed
TO echo the sentiments Of the Hon. Hugh
Mclaughlin. said yesterday:
Ths Citizen can see no ray Of hope for the
ticket Of moral turpitude and political
perndy.-, u the reassembled Citizens Union
and Republican city conventions commit no
tffoe-9k Judgment, MI. Murphys ticket Ia
already as dead as Julius Cesar.
