IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
Saratoga. y. y. Aug. 1.-THE friends of
Judge Parker and those who are in charge Of his
camnaigr are more deeply worried over the sit
nation in New-York City than outward signs
would indicate. The bitterness Of the warfare
between Senator McCarren. the leader in Kings
County. and Charles +. Murphy. the leader OF
Tau7many Hall has not been realized by the
Parker managers. Thomas Taggart, chairman
of the Democratic National Committee: William
F. Sheehan Judge Parker's personal representa-
tive, and the other leaders have viewed the war
fare with complacency, believing that in the end
the factions would cone together and work in
the interest Of the national ticket.
MURPHY's DEMANDS.
Such has not proved to be the case. however.
Murl-y has made demand on the members of
the National Committee and the managers of
Judge Parkers campaign that McCarren be re-
moved from the post of chairman of the exec
utive committee of the State committee he
would make revelations concerning McCarrer's
protection of vice and crime that would be
trenely disastrous. This news was read with
great interest here to-day by friends OF Senator
McCarren If Murphy should resort to any
desperate measure Of this kind. the friends
of Senator McCarren say McCarren would
strike back in a swift and telling manner.
Murphy. according 20 the friends OF McCarren,
lives il glass house. and if he chooses
10 hurl rocks the weapons TO fight him are
Immediately available and ii the hands of
men with whom he has worked for years That
he has chosen to outlaw them now does not
subtract from the sum total of their knowledge
and if he takes the initiative in this warfare
he will find they can fight ugly battle as he
can possibly be in a position TO wage.
From the Parker leaders here. it has been
Judge Parkers nomination, has made dire
threats that is McCarren had a place Of au-
thority in the campaign. he would make reveIa-
tons about McCaTen's alliances with pooroom
keepers, gamblers. policy men, and even worse
They viewed these threats with complacency at
FIST, and thought that in the end Murphy would
come around Within the last week Murphy
has renewed these threats, and with a sinister
Federation that has caused the Parker managers
to become worried. They have wondered
whether Murphy could make revelations that
would force the retirement Of McCarren from an
influential post in managing the campaign. Ex-
Judge Parker and his closest friends believe the
quarrel between McCarren and Murphy due 10
the fact that McCarren broke with Murphy on
the Parker issue. Certainly it is plain TO them
That the break came just at that juncture. Muir
phys threats about exposing McCarren. there
fore, had little weight with them. knowing the
exceptional help that McCarreH gave I'm securing
Instructions for Parker in the Democratic State
Convention. the Parker managers had up to
date no idea OF setting McCarren aside or re-
moving him from his place as chairman OF the
executive committed
The threats of Murphy, however. have been so
insstent and ominous that the Parker managers
have become worried and it came to a point
where some thought it might be advisable to
FrTN-~ ,1T,-
ana thus appease Murphy. This came TO the
ears Of McCarren, and he Immediately took
steps to protect himself
MCARREN NOT SEEKING PEACE.
McCarren's position was outlined to-day here

rem said this man. for the last ten years has
