EMO QUARTER" THE CRY
Continued from first page.

NcCarren, are counting on the enmity to the
I,.+er of the old McIaughlinites to aid Tam
many Hall in its purposes, they are greatly mis-
taken. II is not that Mclaughlin and ShevIn
and the others love McCarren more. but that
they love Tammany less. In the last campaign
tbe,, took a determined stand for the right OF
the Brooklyn organization to remain indepen-
dent They will now retreat from that position
now.
This does not mean any reconciliation mas
been arranged, but that Shevlin and the others
stand ready TO make a defensive alliance with
AIcCarren as against Tammany. 1t does not
mean that McCarren feels that he needs this AID
at the present time. Indeed. he feels so coTlh-
dent of his ability to preserve his leadership
AGAINST outside assaults through Doyle that ne
does not yet stand ready TO make any conces-
sious 20 the old ele ent in order TO get us sup
port.
There are. OF course. some leaders IN BROOK
lvn. whose personal attachment for McCarren Is
not strong. In a close fight they might. per
hans. be counted on to desert the McCarren
standard It is not thought however, that
DOYLE can get any OF these men to rally around
him for the defeat of the pro-McCarren resolu-
ton that will be introduced at the special meet
i,y of the executive committee to be held in the
Thomas Jefferson Building tomorrow night
GETTING A FIRMER GRIP.
Senator McCarren passed the day yesterday
in getting a firm grasp on the situation he
spent several hours at the Seymour Club In the
afternoon. When he left there he said that ne
was more confident than ever that Tammany
would fail in its attempt to degrade the BROOK
Ign organization. There was no DOUBT ne oe-
cIared. that the district leaders would make
that clear by their votes tomorrow night Mr..
McCarren said he would wait until the meeting
bafore exnressins his ideas fully.
AS stated IN The Tribune yesterday ControIer
Grout has made It clear that he stands oenlnd
McCarren. If Murphy in his attempt 10 weaken
the McCarren machine attacks any OF the NC
Carren officeholders and seeks to get them 10
resign. Controller Grout VIII become a factor AT
once Not only will he protest most vigorously.
but he Will also give notice that any removaI Oh
McCarren men will be met by him with move
AGAINST the Tammany men in the Controllers
Office For this and other reasons the friends OF
NcCarren say It Will be utterly futile TO try TO
depose him from the leadership during the pres
ent administration.
DEPUTY Fire Commissioner Doyle is putting on
a brave front however. and seeks TO convey the
impression that the task OF defeating McCaTTen
is easy as taking pennies from a o1py' MS
confidence" is not impressive. however.
I never laid down in my life. he said TO
Tribune reporter at the With Assembly Dis
trlct Democratic CLUB last night never

Carren2' he asked
why. I thought McCarren was going to fght
me-" ne replied evasivey.
Nr Dovle then said that. although he had not
received his notice for the executive committee
meeting tomorrow night. he would be there. II
he was not sick I'm bed Asked II he would pre-
sent anv resolutions. he replied that he did not
see any necessity for intruding with any bust
ness IL was McCarren's meeting not his.
BEGUN SOME TINE AGO.
Investigation yesterday revealed the fact that
IN every district where any disafTcction against
NcCarrcn existed and where preparations to

The fact remains. however. that the move
against NcCarren has been under way Tor some
little time.
