COOKERS TRIP POLITICAL? OH, NO!
M'Kahon Says He Will Issue Statement
Before Sailing. Proving It.

Daniel F. Mcmahon one of the old Guard
in Tammany Hall and chairman of the eHecu-
tive committee said yesterday that he under
stood that Richard Croker. the old leader. would
sail from Liverpool the Lucania on March 4,
reaching here on March Il. He may remain on
the other side till about the first week in April.
as announced in the ylorning papers, said Mr..
Mcmahon but it is likely that he will be here
about the middle of March Prior TO his coming
over Mr.. Croker will give out statement clear
" showing that he has no intention Of interfer
ing with the present management Of Tammany
Hall and that his visit is entirely without pot-
ical Significance. He will probably stay on this
side about two months.
By reaching here before the end Of March Mr..
Croker will be able personally to swear OFF his
rersonal assessment Of 100000. thus saving
81 600. not quite enough TO buy a bulldog like
Rodney Stone for which he paid about $1,000.
The ecrlv return of Croker aroused a great
deal Of interest around town yesterday. John c.

Richard Croker returned from Europe and by

Borough President Cantor, who is being urged

Escape of Cree.
LRY rELEGRArH ro rHE rRIRrNE.l

Newport, RI jan 21.-The United States tug
Leyden from San Juan, Porto Rico, went
ashore on South Ledges. Block Island this noon
and will be a total wreck. There was no loss
of life accident attending the transfer of the
of the stranded vessel to the shore. When
the tug struck it was apparent that the vessel
doomed, and Lieutenant Chester Wells
ordered Gunner Donnell, second in command
to man a boat and attempt to take the crew
ashore, the lieutenant remaining with the ship.
The sea was running high at the time and after
a terrific encounter with the surf Gunner Don
nell landed his men. but upon attempting to re
turn to the tug it was found impossible to
launch the boat in the surf and the attempt
had to be abandoned.
The news that the tug had stranded quickly
spread over the island. Crews from the New
Shoreham and West Side Life Saving stations
hurried to the scene and by means of breeches
buoys the entire company of thirty-three men
was safely landed on the beach. The waves are
breaking over the tug, which lies in dangerous
position, and is rapidly going to pieces.
The crew of the Leyden consisted of Lieuten-
ant Wells Gunner Donnen and sixteen men,
Commander Fletcher of the torpedo station ac-
counts for the additional fifteen on the tug at
the time of the accident by stating that they
must have been sick sailors from the North
Atlantic Squadron. which is manGuvring in
West Indian waters and that they were being
taken to the Naval Hospital at the training sta
tion here.
The Ieyden was of the largest type of naval
tug schooner rigged and of $50 tons displacement.
She was built in Boston in 1866 of iron, at cost
of about 100000. She 137 feet long, by 26 feet
beam, and 912 feet of water. She had no
double bottom and made a speed of ten knots an
hour The Leyden kept at the training sta
ton at Newport, r. l., before the man9uvres
