,hts sc4ion controller Grout threw the Tammany
o-ganization into confusion and greatly
,.-nrg+baned the position Of Senator P. H. Nc
r-,.r ,,bo Is struggling 10 Illustrate the de-
,.r,,;ration Of Charles T. Murphy, leader OF
sTaurnsnv Hall 10 depose him from The leader
ship in Kings County.
This action OF the Controller greatly iI4uIIh-
mated the situation and brought about sharp
alignment Of factions. in the opinion OF pom
tcians. In taking this open STAND tor McCuI-
ten the Controller has given Tammany pooy
blow. and brings TO McCarren valuable any
tn his fight with Tammany. The Controller mas
practically veto power on many or IamnahF
bet games IN the administration. and he can
make no end Of trouble for Tammany by block
lng schemes Aside from this he has many
good places al his disposal now filled by Tam
many men. and it was said last night that as
fast as Murphy drove a MeCaTren man from
pHoe Grout would drop a Tammany man and
The way McCarren has been taken up by
trout has thrown Tammany into panic, and
the politicians said last night that from now on,
instead Of Murphy making a campaign TO drive
Mccarren out Of Brooklyn. he would have to
hght to hold his own leadership. as the McCar-
ren-Grout combination is planning war Of ex-
termination against Murphy and the latter
would be placed on the defensive.
The Controller aside from the statement he IS
rued IN making the appointment. would say
nothing. Mr.. Murphy could not be found last
hight. Senator McCarren only smiled and
looked happy. Il is understood that Mayor Nc
Cell2n has been asked 20 take hand in the
war and remove Commissioners TuIly and Nc
Cooey. but shat he has refused the ground
that II he did SO he would stutify himself and
break campaign pledges. On the other hand,
Murphy is able to control certain commissioners.
sld is thus able 10 depose some deputies. Such
case was that Of Byrnes. John T. Oakley
moved Byrnes because he was r. McCarren man.
Et the request Of Murphy. The action Of the
Controller IN finding him q place Immediately
virtually nullifes the effect OF this removal
NO HOPE OF COMPROMISE.
Al hope Of compromise between the Parker
Ind Tammary factions in the party Is now gone,
30 the politicians say. i IS reported that Grout
VII be the candidate Coz Governor Of McCarren
and the Parker combination which now controls
The State organization Grout is friendly with
I'll The Parker leaders and It is understood tina {

County has been endangered on account Of his
loyalty to Parker has asked that Grout be
named for Governor, and that this plan has
peen agreed TO bv the Parker leaders as q recog-
milton OF McCaTen's help. AIr. Grout will fight
II out by McCarren's side until The end, so Il is
declared Tammany keep up the fight
teainst Mccarren and against Parker, but the
politicians generally believe that from Low on
