MURPHY WILL WAR
 ON SENATOR McCARREN
Brooklyn Leader Has Hurn- bled the Keeper of
 the Tiger.
Friend of Murphy vehemently Dc nies His Chief Ever Contempia- ted Putting Hearst Forward, as the MiIlionairs Is Re-
 garded as . Joke.

New York. March so.-( -(speciai )--while Tammany men rejoiced today over VII. Ham A. Boyle's victory in his Brooklyn district yesterday, and predicted that Senator McCarren's position would be thoroughly undermined by the August primaries, they conceded that the general result of the vote in Brooklyn and in Erie County made 1t certain that Judge Parler's friends will have absolute com trol of the State convention and can put through resolution of instructions by something like a two-thirds vote.
 McCarren carried ali but two of the Brooklyn districts, while the Parker men made almost 3 clean sweep in Buffalo the only up State city from which Charles F. Murphy expected support ln the convention.
 It was apparent today that Tammany had abandoned all hope of preventing in- structions for Parker. Murphy dId not appear at his desk, and his views on the subject could not be obtained. but his lieutenants acknowledged that the ''jig was up." as far as the State convention is concerned.
 Revenge on McCarren.
 All they look forward to now Is revenge on the man who brought about Afurphy's defeat in his first effort to pose as a State and national leader-Patrick H. Mc-i Carren.
 It was said by men who are close to the Tammany leader that ne will use all the power of his position from thls time till the August primaries to force Mc- Carren out of the Brooklyn leadership. The Doyle victories in the seventh and ninth districts yesterday, they added, were a good start, and Murphy. they de- elared, would gain control of a majority of the Brooklyn delegates to September .r State convention.
 whether Murphy viii decide to continue his fight against instruction, fer Parker in the convention April 1s is nov "a ma tr, tef for surmise. < He said yesterday that his position on tllis subject Is not chans- cd, but some Tammahy men think that he will fall in line for Parker at the last moment He has never uttered a word for publicatio against Judge Parker. He has all along expressed a preference for Cleveland and for an uninstructed dele gation to the National convention, but he has been very careful to avoid any at- tack or Judge Parker personally.
 Has Not Fought Parker.
 From the beginning he foresaw. his friends say, that Mir. Cleveland might. absolutely refuse to permit the introduc- ton of his name into the national con-
 
 choice of the conservative element of the party. so he took care not to commit himself to any candidate. &
 One of Murphy's lieutenants. who is sometimes his spokesman. said this after noon:
 Parker is not Murphy's choice by any. means. but he will give Parker his warm support If 1t appears at St. Louis that Parker Is the man to down the Bryan radical forces in the convention. Murphy believes that Cleveland is the man who best represents in his person all that is opposed tc Bryanlsm, but Cleveland seems determined to keep out of politics. and there is no other strong conservative in sight now but Parker
 All sorts of wrong motives have been attributed to Murphy. It has even been asserted that he wants to hold the New York delegation for Hearst. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hearst is the last man on earth for whom he would vote, because he believes that Hearst Is big joke and that if he were nominated the Democratic party would be crushed out of existence. If Parker appears to be the most available man next July, Murphy will be for him."
 Following the declaration this morning by Everett P Wheeler of his allegiance to Judge Alton B. Parker, as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Presi- dent and his high estimate of Judge Par ker's qualifications for the ofice. other prominent lawyers who have been known as Cleveland men" will give their sup port to him. Early announcements are expected from them.
 MT. Lyndestedt. who for a great many years has been prominent in the Demo- cratic party of this State, said today of Judge Parker
 Parker's Party Service.
 Tt gives me great pleasure to observe the high estimate which has been placed upon the character and integrity of Judge Parker. whom have known well and favorably since first met State Democratic Convention fin svYs. euse in April. 1870. and later at the Ma tiona1 Democratic Convention which nom mated General Hancock in Cincinnati in June, 1880. From that time until his nro- motion to the bench in 1885, Judge Plrker was active in Democratic politics being In full accord with what populaTly were known as Tilden and Cleveland move ments and he enjoyed the confidence and regard of the packers of those move ments as well as that of Democrats gen. orally.
 ''since his accession to the bench. he has grown steadily and deservedly In the appreciation of the bar and or the public. I am confident that as nominee fo- the Presidency Judge Parker would receive the cordial support of the Democratic party in State of New York and poll, believe. a majority of the votes cast in the State next November. This I do not believe could be affirmed of any other Democrat save Cleveland. have nc. req son to doubt the finality of Mir. Cleve- lands published declination to be a can. didate."
 Peter B. olney also spoke in the high- est terms today Of Judge Parker. He said: T can not speak too warmly of Judge Parker's stern integrity and abii- ity. It seems now that he will get the delegates from thls state ] am gled that af this tune he is simply saving.
