Murphy's Friends DiUlding Pla'ns
Before Theg 4re Ripe.

Patrick f. MCGOWAN who is slated by Charles F.
Murphy to be Mayor of this city if Mayor McClel-
Ian is elected Governor next fall yesterday called
on Mayor Mcclellan and talked matters over with
him The cocksureness of the Tammany men
about the outcome of the election November Z is
something that Mr.. Murphy and few OF his friends
are trying TO conceal Charles E. Hughes refusal
TO run for Mayor yesterday sent Mcclellan and
MCGOWAN stock up several points. The Mayors
friends were inclined to discourage the talk about
his quitting the Mayors office a year from this
fan. and of them saying that Mayor Nc
sCleilan is going TO out his four year term
gn inside Tammany circles there is no reserve
tbout the discussion of the things that will hap
ben at the City Hall when Mayor Mcclellan is sent
10 Albany and Mr.. MCGOWAN succeeds him.
j Mayor MeClellan's other callers yesterday were
I'Eig Tim" Sullivan, Little Tim Sullivan and
E2ark Commissioner Kennedy. II said after
9ongressnaars Sullivan went away that he had
called to urge the Mayor TO use his influence toward
getting Tammany to indorse Jerome Thomas F.
Foley. of Mr.. Suvan's most active lieuten-
ants. is an outspoken supporter of Jerome The
Sullivans be afraid that if Murphy names
candidate for District Attorney he will
select man who viii know his little book, as
Senator Mc6arren put it the city convention,
which is only another way of saying that the
chosen candidate will know enough TO take orders.
This is what be-Sulliyans fear. With Jerome as
District Attorney fhey say they are sure of fair
treatment but with a Murphy in Jerome s
esoIGce would be very easy for the screws to be
put-on to certain interests around with which
Congressman Sullivan is financially identified.
The two sullivans remained about hour with
the Mayor Little Tim has certain interests
which also require safeguarding. With Mr. Fornes
as president of the Board of Aldermen Little
Tim, has had a magnificent opportunity to dem
onstsate his capacity the City Hall Mr.. Fornes
has been the easiest kind of a boss" and Mr..
Sullivan has done aboue he wished with fran
ehises The new law taking franchise considera-
ton away from the board has made great differ
ence with Little Tim and that new head
Of the board is slated to take the place of
