despite the promises given him by ex-senator
Hi. resulted from this attempt on the part Of
the friends OF Chief Judge Parker to conciliate
Tammany Hall.
HAVENs BETRAYAL ONLY INCIDENT
Apart from the betrayal OF Haven the State
committee meeting without incident; Tam
many Hall was barely represented, and the
prearranged plan forced from ex-senator Hin
by ex-LAeutenant Governor Sheehan was put
through without friction. That there was some
fear OF a protest against McCarren was shown
by the fact that the committee met behind
closed doors. but the Tammany representatives
sat tight" TO the immense relief OF the Hill
faction, who are becoming a little apprehensive
OF the effect up State Of the cry Last race at
the AQueduct!' which Tammany has adopted
its war cry against the Brooklyn leader. The
retiring chairman. Frank Campbell. whose
election would have produced a riot. dis
missed with gentle resolutions. and another set
OF resolutions was passed out Of respect TO the
memory Of the late James II. Flanagan. COM
mitteenan from Oneida.
The only part Tammany openly took in the
proceeding was the presentation by Secretary
Thomas T. Smith os a resolution replacing the
Presidents uncle, Robert B. Roosevelt with
Egerton L. Winthrop. who lives at No ia
East Thirty-ninth-st.. a elector IN the XIIth
District. TO III the vacancy caused by Mr..
Roosevelt's refusal to serve.
UPSTATE POLITICIANS DIsPLEAsED.
Comment among State committeeman after
the meeting disclosed the fact that the up
State politicians were departing from the pres
ent meeting even more in spirit than were
the Tammany men after the State convention.
The fact that the State chairman. the execu-
80
tive members actually came from New-Yorl al
though ex-Lieutenant Governor William F. Shee-
han was officially accredited to Buffalo was not
pleasing to the followers Of ex-senator HILL who
have helped him TO fight the New-York City
Democrats Cor years. Men like Frank Camp
bell and John N Carlisle felt that they had been
sacrificed on the altar Of harmony IN fashion
hardly defensible in view OF their past
vices to ex-senator Hill. They plainly affirmed
that the former Senator's recent trip TO New
York City had resulted in a number Of conces-
sions neither expected nor satisfactory to them
Said one bitterly:
OF course the tail can't vaggfe the dog, but
at least the tail ought TO be allowed TO waggle
and that IS the situation between New-Yorl1
city and the rest Of the State to-day. 7 want
10 say right here that when it comes to nomi-
nations New-YoTk City need not expect the first
place on the ticket. It has got too much already.
some good upstate man. man like Assem-
hymsn George ~. Palmer Of Schoharie, has got
anee between the two parts OF the State. New
York City can't have everything. Look at what
they have already.
HILL IN DILEMMA
This utterance from one Of the best known up
State committeeman reveals the feeling among
upstate leaders It is shrewdly suggested
that ex-senator HILL in carrying out his politi-
cal methods. has fallen between two stools
FIRST by attempting 10 down Tammany by using
many's wrath to a point beyond Cancellation,
and then by sacrificing his upstate friends. by
whom he crushed Tammany, IN vain effort to
bring Tammany back in line
As q result OF ell this manceuvring, the Tam
many wrath has not been measurably appeased
and many OF the old Hill faction who sat in
silence and watched the proceedings OF to-day's
meeting went away with bitterness in their
hearts and words Of anything but harmonious
import on their lips How bitter these words
were It Is possible TO understand only when It
S. realized that they were spoken by men who,
like N. z. Haven, have trained with Hill for
years and fought his battles. only to be turned
down to-day for the purpose OF bringing about
some slight reconciliation with TaTnmany. whose
leader aid not even care enough about the mat
ter to send any one except his secretary TO rep
resent him at the conclave. and accept the prof
sered olive branch which was handled gin
Eerly as If It had been poison ivy.
