CARROLL TO FIGHT MURPHY

CARROLL To FIGHT MURPHY.
Carroll made compact with McCarren"
said a prominent Tammany last night at
the Hoffman House. ito go ahead and under
mine Murphy, promising that next summer he,
Carroll would spend $4,000 in organizing a
SIGHT against Murphy in seventeen eighteen
districts All the way from $1,000 to $4,000
VIII be put into each district to fight Murphy's
men. and with the sentiment that can be
worked up by that time TO help out, the Car
roll-McCarren men would be able TO overthrow
Murphy. The main object, however. would not
be for control OF the executive committee, but
rather fo- enough delegates to the city conven-
ton SO that ant-Murphy candidate could be
nominated for Mayor. Here is where McCar-
rer's strength would be brought into full play.
and with the nomination of an anti-Murphy
city ticket MUrphy's power would be gone"
There s sin another feature of the situation
that MuI-phy's friends are watching with good
deal OF socitude. It is practically covered with
the significant question. us Bowling trying TO
become the leader of Tammany Hall?"
There are plenty of men around the Holman
House who think that the appointment or Dowl-
ing yesterday ~ a conspicuous place in the
management 90 the local campaign Was done
with a secret understanding between the Hill
Sheehan- McCarren men and bowling. the sub
stance Of which understanding is that Bowling
is to be the next ieader OF 4dnIiiI1Hs anu ''"N
Murphy is to be retired at the earliest possible
minute.
Senator Dowling's friends do not think so
meanIy Of him as to suspect him of ingratitude
and treachery but the Hill men and the old
Croker guard think there is "something doing
along the line of instruction.
Senator Bowling is a candidate for Supreme
Court bench nomination this fall. Tammany
Hall is the only organization that can give him
the coveted honor. Charles F. Murphy is anX-
ious to honor his friend by clecting him TO the
bench.
All these things support the theory that Dow
ling and Murphy are sworn friends for all time
AT the same time the Old Croker men say that
Senator Bowling is the most ambitious man IN
Tammany Hall and that he wants 10 be the
leader of the organization.
The Croker men say that Richard Croker is
soon coming home, despite his denials TO an As
ISOLATED Press correspondent in Dublin on sun
day. They assert that Carroll and Croker have
planned campaign that has as its objective
The doing away with Murphy and the suprem- |
acy of Bowling and Carroll, with Bowling IN |
Murphy place.
A NEW THING FOR TAMMANY.
This is the first time in the history of local |
politics that it has been considered advisable to |
appoint an organizer for Tammany Hall. after |
its campaign is well in hand. Tammany is so |
sufficiently organized that the suggestion that |
Bowling is needed to supervise the organization |
laugh For this reason the Tammany men say |
that Dowling's appointment means simply that |
ne has been put on guard TO watch McCarren |
and placate Murphy. who accompanied him yes |
terday 20 the conference of the leaders.
When State Chairman Cord Meyer was asked |
last night at the Hoffman House what Dowlings |
appointment really meant. he said
Il gave out formal statement covering the |
subject. That is all I have TO say about it
John c. Sheehan. who was in conference with |
David p. Hill and Controller Grout at the Hoff- !
man House last night, just after seeing Mr.. Hill
wss by Tribune reporter. The same |
question put 10 him.
L guess ali < means is that the Democrats |
are going to Try 10 get out the vote. don't !
See anything Interior about it, said Mr.. Shee- |
han
one Of 3hs noteworthy features of the confer |
ance Yesterday was the extreme affabilitV OF |
August Belmont toward Charles F Murphy. At |
the St. Louis convention Mr.. Murphy said some |
peculiar things about Mr. Belmont and they
were carried the latter before they lost their
bright color and significance. When the confer !
ence broke up yesterday. Mr. Rode the first |
man % cone out of the ROOM lie was followed |
by Mr.. Murphy and Mr. Bowling. Soon August |
belmont. who apparently had been waiting for !
something 70 turn up. came hurrying along the |
hallway de was on ms way 70 attend a session /
OF the national executive committee meeting, he /
said. hut when he Messrs. Murphy and !
Bowling he want up close to Mr.. Murphy and |
slnilingly invited him 10 go to his room. The /
Tammany went with the subway presi- /
dent and We're with him in earnest conversation /
for fifteen minutes. Then Mr Murphy went !
away with State Chairman Meyer 10 a private |
room and talked with him for half an hour |
National Chairman IaggaTt dld not attempt l" |
take any part in the conferences, but IL T-as !
learned he had hand in planning 70 get /
Murphy the State Executive Committee
Senator McCarTen seems to be doing pretty /
well all things considered. He smiled IN his
usual faraway manner last night. when asked
81 he were on the shelf, and he said he didn't
tbink he was.
we are just trying TO elect Parker. that *
all said he. Il party to the appointment
Of Senator Bowling to the executive committee /

There is work enough for all Of US.
