of Big City Majority.

NEW YORK, October 15.-Chairman Tag
CART and August Belmont of the democratic
national executive committee called on
Charles F. Murphy at Tammany Hall to-
day. 1t was stated afterward by Mr. Tag
CART that the call was of a social charac-
ter and that the members of the national
committee were returning several calls
that Mr.. Murphy had made at headquar-
tiers.
Mr.. Murphy assured Messrs. Taggart and
Belmont that New York city would give
the national ticket a phenomenal majority.
He also assured them that everything was
moving favorably in the city. There was
some discussion about the number of chai-
lenges which have been made through the
activity of State Superintendent of Elec-
tons Morgan.
1t was stated that large number or re-
publicans had been challenged as well as
democrats The Tammany leader told
Chairman Taggart that there was some
thing mysterious about the methods or re-
publican workers regarding the reglstra-
lions. which the Tammany leader did not
profess to understand - ,.
While Messrs. Taggart and Belmont were
at Tammany Hall arrangements were
made. through communication with Mayor
Mcclellan that the mayor would make sew
eral speeches in New York. and would also
speak in Indiana
