New York. July I9.--Greater New
York's mayoralty campaign viii be
fought out this fall with the two lead
ers of the Democratic forces not on
speaking terms. The most that the
friends Of Charles +. Murphy. leader
Of Tammany Hall. and the friends OF
Senator Mccarren, head of the Brook
lyn organization have been able to
do has been to establish a sort Of arm
ca truce between the two men. All
the preliminary negotiations OF the
campaign are beng conducted through
third parties.
Strange conditions have brought
about this situation. Four months
ago 1t looked as though Murphy and
McCarren would be at one anothers
throats before the holding OF the city
convention, but the tact and diplo-
macy of Mayor Mcclellan has averted
this. For more than year there has
| been the most bitter feud between the
two men, starting In personal differ
| ences q year ago last winter and cul-
| minating the following spring when
McCarfen espoused the cause OF Alton
IB. Parker for the presidential nomi-
nation, while Murphy and tho forces
lof Tammany Hall steadfastly declared
that Parker could not be elected k
Nominated.

1t was at this stage Of the proceed.
lngs thar Mayor Mcclellan himself
/ took an important stand in the polit.
ical situation. He recently summoned
Senator McCarren to the City Hall
and they reached an agreement. BY
:, it the Mayor promised the Brooklyn
(. leader that In the future he would
Epermit none Of the city patronage tr
be used In opposition 10 the McCarren
leadership Of Brooklyn and would moi
permit the ousting Of any more Nc
!. Carren men from city places for polIt
/. lcal purposes In return, the Mayor
I. secured from McCarren the pledge
that the McCarren men would worl
earnestly for the denomination ant

Such an agreement was made with
: Murphy's consent, and the slatemak
ers now are hard at work with tbs
chances in favor of naming Herman A
Metz of Brooklyn for Controller Thus
while McCarren and Murphy are work

neither win meet the other and tn,
personal bitterness is as great as ever
