Murphy alarmed at Editors 1t
tacks on Mcclellan.

Charles f. Murphy and his ueutenants In con-
troll of the TaTnmany organization are OF the
opinion that William r. Hearst is going TO be
MayOralty candidate on labor and municipai
ownership ticket next fall They are exceed
ingly angry at Mr.. Hearst. and they are getting
ready to fight him if he makes any overt attempt
TO Illustrate Mr. Murphy's plan TO renOminate
and re-eisct Mayor Mcclellan.
Mr.. Murphy's friends assert that the attacks
on Mayor Mcclellan by the publisher mean that
there will lie vigorous opposition by the leading
radical Democratic newspaper 10 Mayor McCIei-
lans reelection. Charles F. Murphy. on mis-
return last week from vacation al Hot Springs.
said that Mayor Mcclellan would be renou-
mated. To this announcement the Hearst in
terests have registered en- emphatic no NJ
Tammany Hall yesterday one Of the district
leaders. who has the entire confidence Of Charles
F. Murphy. made this statement to a Tribune
reporter.
Hearst Is hot at Murphy and Tammany for
two very good reasons First 8r. Murphy
would not allow Tammany to lend Mr.
Hearst any assistance I.st wear when NJ
Hearst a candidate FOR President Hearst
wanted the Endorsement OF the State delegation
to St Louis Neither Murphy nor Hin would
stand for it. Hearst believes that II Murphy
had made fight for him ParNcss nomination
might have been avoided or prevented
The second reason for Hearst's opposition To
Murphy Is that the latter was opposed 10 giving
Mr.. Hearst a denomination this year. Things
were all fixed for another man to make the race
In the llth District when JudzR Parker heard
OF II. and made a personal request OF Murphy
for harmony reasons. To give Mr.. Hearst a re-
nomination Mi Hearst was ind nerent abour
IT. II Tammany had not renOrninated him ne
would have made the race Independently. and
his friends believed at the time that he would
have been elected on third tckey.
Now that the election IS out Of the way ana
Mr. Hearst Is Congressman for two years
more. there IS strong Indication that he is out
to make trouble for Tammany He had the
Controller and City Chamberlain enioIned on
Saturday from paying about 100000 10 the
Gas Trust in settlement of the much discussed
bills of the company That act is Interpreted
as throwing down the sage Of battle. and Tam
many is preparing for trouble, Threats are
freely made BY TammaEy Hall that if Mr.
Hearst does not stop lighting the organization
he will be attacked by Democratic newspapers
friendly 10 Mayor Mcclellan
the friends OF Mr. Hearst do not deny that
he may be induced to accept a Mayoralry nom
inatiOn third ticket. They believe that 4
he would make q strong ruI-O.le that would
convince the Democrats all around tn country
that he was a Democrat with large personal
following. If MIR HesrStS independent can
didacy for Mayor should result Gisas,rouSIy 10
the Democrats and It Republican should b.s
elected Mr.. Hearst s friends argue that their
leader would not be any worse of than he IS
al present, under present circumstances he
cannot compel Tammany TO look kindly upon
his Presidential aspirations.
Tammany men see the handwriting ths
wall and sre getting ready foC Nj. Hearst.
