tative source but it was generally believed
According TO the statements made last night
negotiations looking 10 harmony between tba
state organization and TaIllnany Hall have
been under way for week. The Tribune last
wonsay morning announced that the fight he

roa.s lot say q word when the subject was
broached.
There are rlauy qualifications TO this story.
Eil and a-eCarren. il is well known. thorough
ly dislike each other. and have been enemies
for wears. They have been coworzers IN the
Parker movement through political exiEency
ana not oH account of friendship. Hill. there

Carreg at the first opportunity. Whse Tam

Murphy, on the other hand is cunning for
two BIRDS" according 70 some of his friends
le wants 80 overthrow McCar-eu. but he is
after GTout also The Controller has taken a

Murphy can drive McCarren out, politicians be-

tis-lon as a delegate 10 the National conVen-
non nom Kings County, but Murphy had him

tafoed as likely that in case Murphy and Hill

Thomas =. Ryan has been elected delegate
P ne national convention from Virginia, and
