LITTLE TIM" ON STRIKE
Threatens Mayor 7oith 1ldermen's
Opposition an appointment Case.

Little Tim" Sullivan. the vice-chairman of
the Board of Aldermen, has revoted against the
leadership of Mayor Mcclellan and says that
hereafter what the Mayor wants from the alder
men will not be given without fight.
The trouble is on account of the desire of
Mayor Mcclellan and Controller Grout TO make
a permanent place in the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment for James W. Stevenson. at
present Deputy Controller. At the meeting of
the board last Friday a resolution passed
creating the place of secretary of the board. at
salary of $4,000 year. The Board of Alder
men must consent to this before an appointment
can be made. Mayor Mcclellan sent for Little
Tim" Sullivan yesterday and told him that the
Board of Estimate wanted q place created for
stevenson, as he was too valuable a man TO
be retired from the service of the city.
That's ali right" Sullivan is quoted as say
ing, but since Election Day your new Park
Commissioner CMr. Parsons) has dropped two of
my men. L want to serve notice on you now
that the Board of Aldermen will not do any
thing for the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment. We won't take OF your men unless
you let ours alone"
Apparently a brisk fight is on between the
Sullivans and the Mayor The dismissal of a
leaders man, without consultation with the
leader is capital offence, according to the
Sullivan code When of that kind are
dropped no matter how obscure they may be,
they go to their leader at and ask the rea-
son. If there is no good reason assigned, trouble
all along the line follows
One of the men dismissed by Parsons is an
officer in the T. d. Sullivan Association, and a
man of consequence in the Bowery.
Mayor Mcclellan has told his friends that his
next administration is going to be marked with
a spectacle of the TamTany bosses taking TO
the tall timber. The Suvans fail to recognize
ANY sweetness and light in such programme,
and they won't play BALI till they know what
the Mayor Is going to do for them. Moreover,
the aldermen are longing for chance to punish
Controller Grout who more than once has said
that the board was useless and that its func-
lions should be transferred TO the Board OF
Estimate and Apportionment. Now that MeSsrs'
Grout and Mcclellan want MIR. Stevenson APP
pointed to a fat place, the aldermen have a
chance to square things.
1t is expected that the Stevenson matter will
come before the Board of Aldermen at their
session to-day. The resolution is in the COM
mittee on salaries and offices and must be re
ported on faVorably before it comes to the
board. The Mayors friends said last night that
they would make fight to have the resolution
reported out Alderman Sullivan said that the
aldermen would take their time about acting
on it.

HEARST APPEAL TO-D1I
appellate DiUision to Consider Er-
ceDtion to Decision.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
at 1 p. to-day will hear argument on an ap-
peal taken by counsel for William r. Hearst
from that part of the order OF Justice Amend
which prohibits any review of void ballots IN
the recount OF the ballots in the boxes which
were opened last week under his order. Mr..
Hearst's lawyers will argue that if void bal
lots found in a ballot box which has been
opened for recount, it is the duty Of the cleo
ton officers engaged in the recount to throw
out such ballots. Assistant Corporation Counsel
Butts will take the ground that. once having
counted the ballots, the election officers cannot
throw them out
The Hearst lawyers are about ready to admit
that it will be useless to have recount of votes
in ballot boxes where frauds suspected. un-
less there can be a review of the void ballots
found. They assert that it was the rule in many
districts to count all void" ballots for Mayor
Mcclellan and throw out all void" ballots Tor
Mr.. Hearst. On the decision of the Appellate
Division therefore; VIII depend largely the sue
cess Of the fight which counsel for Mr.. Hearst
are making. If no review of void" ballots IS
permitted by the courts the lawyers may not
delay the count much longer by motions to nave
ballot boxes opened for recounts.

The Columbia sophomores won the annual 1901
ball game between the two under classes OF Column
bia University at American League Park yester-
day The game was close, as the score OF D TO
indicates but in many respects the freshmen out
played the "sophs.'' They gained more GROUND ny
rushing and when the final whistle blew were
carrying the ball five yards at time and were on
their opponents 15-yard line
The sophomores score was mada a tumble
near the 90 goal line The freshmen had the pan
and Robinson dropped back for punt. Smithers
made a bad pass, and Mapleston broke through
and blocked the kick, falling on the bail over the
line Mackenzie missed the goal
Near the end of the game Fowler, who played
left end on the sophomore eleven, was knocked
out and had to be carried from the field Despite
the fact that it probably the last game OF 700

LINERS STORMY TRIPS.
Umbia and La Gascogne Badly
Pounded Seaman's NarrOzC Escape.

Two big transatlantic liners. the Cunarder
JJmbrfa and the French Line steamer La Gas
cogne, crept up to their piers yesterday with
weary cabin loads of passengers. Both steamers
were overdue, and their salt stained and rusty
sides told the story of fierce battles with waves
The Umbria, which came up to Quarantine in
the forenoon. reported heavy weather all the
way from Liverpool. Nearly everybody but the
ship5s crew was seasick throughout the voyage.
The ship was pounded continually by giant
combers. According to the passengers, there
was not let up Last Wednesday was the stormi-
est day of the trip. Strong gales from the
northwest caught the ship on the starboard
quarter and made it difficult for her to right
herself when damned over to port by a sue

At noon Wednesday William Devine,
seaman, had narrow escape from death. While

MURPHY SECURE AS EVER.
Increment In Democratic Crib to
Dethrone Him 1Ibortive.

The Croker old guard in the Democratic CLUB
thought they had a chance last night to start a
fight against the Tammany leadership OF Charles
f. Murphy but after thinking it oyer they de-
cided that it was not a good tinie 70 begin It.
The courage Of the Croker men oozed as they
looked over the club roster and made an IN
vefitory of the Murphy men in the organization.
News of the instruction spread in Democrats
circles yesterday and the friends OF Richard
Croker talked eagerly OF the prospective over
throw of Murphy in Manhattan and McCarren
in Kings Mayor Mcclellan was to be annexed
as sort of nucleus for the movement against
Murphy. Inquiry developed the fact that Nc
Clellan and Murphy are as good friends as ever
and that fight against the Tammany boss
would not get any support from the city Hall
while Mcclellan is there.
This club is not planning any fight against
either Murphy McCarrcn.'' said President
John Fox. That story was started by busy
bodies who want to make trouble. ~ the meet
ing tonight we passed a resolution appointing
a committee of ten to take under consideration
the propriety of changing the name Of the CLUB
from the Democratic Club to the National DEM
ocratie Club. This would broaden the scope o.
the club somewhat and make it more OF a head
quarters for Democrats Of the nation. This com
mittee will be appointed by the president and
will report at a special meeting.
Eight of the former governors of the club
were reelected follows. their terms to expire
in December. 1903: Theodore f Hascall W
Marley Platzek. Edward F. O'Dwyer. P. Henry
Dugro, John W. Keller John J. Scannell, and
William E. Wyatt, and Richard Croker. jr., term

The annual report OF the treasurer shows total
receipts for the year of $11S91S 60 total pay
nents. $1O5, 773 SO; net tssets, 1884. 213 %.
The club now has membership Of about
1,400 In. its palmiest days, when Croker was
leader of Tammany Hail. it had a membership
of $500. The wedding out process has been
kept up till all the non-payerS have dropped
out and the club now is in as good a financial
condition it
