MURPHY TO REACH OUT.
STATE POWER HIS AIN.
Cantor To BE Sent on Mission Il
Com pass Hills OUerthr0sc.

Embodened by his sweeping victory In local
affairs Charles F. Murphy is going to reach out
into the broader field of State and national
politics. At the head of united Democracy
here and in Brooklyn, he will have large pro-
portion of the State delegation solid at any rate
but he is evidently looking for worlds to con-
quer." AS the visible sign OF this Jacob A.
Cantor Will soon make a tour of the State visit
ing Democratic leaders in every county. to urge
them to unit. in an effort to end the power OF
David B. Hill. with Hill out of the way no
one would dare contest Murphy's claim to state
leadership. and the wiseacres wagged their
heads last night they discussed the trouble
which Cantor. representing the ruler of Tam
many, would stir up for the sage of wolfert's
Roost.
Among the first men Cantor will visit will be
Norman E. Mack and William j. Connors. of
Erie County; George w. Bates, of Niagara;
George E. Warner, John F. Kinney and William
T. Balkan, of Monroe; James X. MCGUIRE, of
Syracuse; Justice d. Cady Herrick and Mayor
Talcott, of Utica. He will urge them to attend
conference at Albany early in December. at
which ways and means TO get rid of Hill will be
the theme
1t may be recalled that Hill insisted on run
ming Coler in 1902. when most of the Democrats
up State were for Chief Judge Alton B. Parker,
and many other mistakes Hill has made in the
opinion of his enemies together with his favorite
peanut politics scheme, will he brought up
Some other men who Mr.. Cantor will probably
see are Atwater. of Duchess: Judson, of Fulton;
Conway. of Clinton; Carlisle, of Jefferson; Town
send of oneida. and Palmer, of Schoharie, all of
whom will be asked to attend the conference and
unite to get a solid Democratic party in next
falls campaign
When it is recalled that Mr.. Cantor Sena-
tor was never overly in love with Mr.. Hill and
his methods. and that in the late municipal cam
paign he appeared lukewarm toward Tammany
his fitness. Murphy's friends say. for the present
mission Will readily be seen.
Mr.. Cantor talked about his trip last night
although he would not admit that he would rep
resent the ruling power in Tammany. If Cleve-
Roosevelt, he thought. while Parker had an
equally good chance, save for the opposition of
Southern States. A question about Hill started
him off
Hill? Hill couldn't carry New-York. He's
not fit to be State leader. He's led the party to
defeat often that all confidence in him is
shattered. I think when he sees he can't control
lamentably weak in the North His injection of
the race issue into politics has hurt him up
here, and if il came up again Roosevelt would
welcome IL with open arms. Yes, indeed IL 1t
came up again Roosevelt would sweep the coun-
try. l think Hill would oppose the renomina-
tion of Cleveland, but he's not bitter toward
him he used to be.
As to this trip" continued Mr. Cantor. I'm
not going to try to work for city control of the
either A united Democracy is what we need
Just row. Snap conventions must be things of
the past and can't afford to have any more
one-man conventions
