SHEVLIN DIGS C0LER.
EY-LEADER RETIRES(D
gIcCayreu Men Think Actio1s Indi-
Gates Ogposition's Weakness.

h1,bousb evController Bird S. Coler will not
admit that he aspires 10 be the leader OF the
opposition TO Senator SdcCarren in the Demo-
cratic fight in Brooklyn. that is the reason
James. Shevlin gives for Withdrawing from the
anti-McCarren combination. Mr.. Coler. Deputy
Fire Commissioner Doyle and the other anti
McCarren leaders all declare that the with
drawal will not make any difference in their
fight. nor will it change their relations to one
another. The general impression. however is
that the course taken by Shevlin is an indication
Of the lack Of harmony among the anti-Mc-
Carren leaders.
In his statement. issued yesterday, Mr.. shev-
lin says
Ny main reason for retiring is the desire that
Bird S. Coler shall have an unrestricted oppor-
tunity to demonstrate his popularity among the
district leaders of the county, and to make good
his claim that he can lead the movement against
Senator McCarren 10 a successful termination.
Those who know how cordially shevlin and
Coler have hated each other for several years
can appreciate the sarcasm of Mr.. Shevlin's
statement It is mistake to suppose that Shev-
lin in retiring has cast the mantle Of the Tam
many leadership in Brooklyn on the shoulders
OF Coler. In the first place. Shevlin never had
.the<nantle to cast After remaining under cover
for some time he came out in open support OF
the anti-NcCarren movement at a time when
81
.overrule Deputy Fire Commissioner Doyle, who
IS the accredited head of the Tammany annex
1n Brooklyn, resulted in some friction Than
sColer's ambitions caused more friction The
movement did not prosper. Some Of the Nc
tCarren men were Unkind enough to say yester-
day that Shevlin. seeing that the fight was
hopeless one. decided that it was time 10 get
out They say that nov Shevlin viii probably
try to get into the regular organization again
In his statement Mr.. Shevlin says that the
report that he had promised to support sen
ator McCarren against Charles F. Murphy Is
false. He denied that his retirement is due TO
the continued opposition to Justice Parker by
Murphy. SheVlin wants to give the impression
that he has retired from politics.
Thomas R. Farrell the leader Of Mr.. Shev-
Inns Assembly district. says that he viii stin
remain active in the opposition
Mr.. Coler said regarding the retirement OF
Shevlin
Everything is going along nicely with the
opposition to Senator AIcCarren- There Is alb
solute harmony in the committee"
He refused to discuss Shevlin's statement.
Mr.. Doyle said:
The retirement Of Mr.. Shevlin from active
participation in the fight on McCarren viii have
no effect whatever on the contest. We have no
notion Of quitting the fight at all. We shall
miss Mr. Shevlin's advice, but, as understand
st. that VIII not be transferred to the other
side"
