Brooklyn. 70 attend a dinner Of the officers and
stockholders OF the Atlantic Savings and Loan
Association. Cooperative. in honor Of the re-
firing president. II was an engagement that he
had made weeks ago. and he kept 81 in spite Of
the sudden development OF political exigency.
He made it an occasion for delivering his first
public declaration since Murphy has broken
with him. and IT was a defiance Of any attempt
Of Tammany to interfere in local affairs In
Brooklyn.

who has been commissioned by Murphy 20 give
out the patronage in Brooklyn in an attempt to
supplant McCarren. had little 20 say when he
came home. He realizes that he has a hard job
and is thinking 1t over.

there is TO more patronage 10 give out. and that
ar attempt on McCarren's scalp could not be
made at a more favorable time for him. They
say that Mcclellan. with his eyes on the Presi-
