Leader Charles F. Murphy of Ta4nmany
Hall did not go to Saratoga yesterday.
He will go to-day on one Of the six special
trains which have been engaged to carry
the Tammany delegates to tho convention
city. 1t had been expected that he would
accompany Chairman Cord Meyer OF the
Democratic State committee, W. s. Rode
the head OF the committees bureau OF
organization, and the hundred or more
other prominent Democrats from this city
who started shortly after noon yesterday.
In the State and national conventions OF
this year Mr.. Murphy went ahead OF his
followers but this time he accompanies
his delegation. When he was asked last
night If he intended to take part in
any Of the preliminary conferences upon a
candidate for Governor he replied that he
knew nothing about any such conferences,
and that the principal purpose OF himself
and his organization was to elect Demo-
cratic President.
Mr.. Murphy's staying away from the
convention until almost the last moment
Is taken as bearing out the statements he
has been making for the last week that
Tammany will have no candidate to put
forward for any place on the State ticket,
and that the organization will fall in line
with the wishes Of the majority Of the dele
gates to the convention. 1t was learned
last night that Mr.. Murphy told Judge
Parker on Friday that Tammany would
vote for the nomination OF any candidate
suggested or approved by him with one
exception. That exception, Mr.. Murphy is
Comptroller circuit. But even by some
turn Of chance Mr.. Grout should with the
aid Of Mr.. Hill and Senator McCarren have
9 ma lority OF the delegates ordered to vote
for him, It is doubtful II Mr. Murphy will
make any forcible fight against the 6 Gom Up,
night that the Tammany leader had made
up his mind not to take issue with Mr.. Hill
at the coming State convention. -,
Two OF the six special trains which will
take the Tammany delegates will go over
the West Shore road and the other four
over the New York Central system. The
West Shore trains will be in charge OF Ber-
nard F. Martin and Peter j. Dooling. The
first section, to be followed five minutes
later by the second section, will leave at
$40 o'clock this morning. The trains
will stop at Kingston for lunch and at ESQ
pus, where the delegates hope to get
glimpse OF Judge Parker:
Mr.. Murphy will travel on the first of
the four trains over the Central. This
section will leave at s45 A. M. and will
be in charge of Senator George W. Plum
kit, to whose management all the Trans
portation arrangements were left, Two
other trains. which will start at intervals
Of about five minutes afterward, will be
under the supervision Of Thomas E. Rush
and Senator Frawley. Stops will be made
at PouRhkeepsie Cor lunch.
The fourth train will leave the Grand
Central Station at 7 o'clock tonight. After
all the arrangements providing for the
carrying OF the Tammanyites to Sara
toga had been made it was called to the
attention OF Mr.. Murphy that to-day. is
the Hebrew Day of Atonement and that
many Jews who are among the Tammany
delegates would be unable to leave for Sara
toea until sundown. Mr.. Murphy thereupon
ordered that a special night train should
be provided for these delegates Special
cars will be attached to the Montreal ex-
press. which arrives at Saratoga at mid
night. This contingent will be under the
charge Of Julius Hamburger, Florence j.
Sullivan and Maurice B. Blumenthal.
