AIMS AT SENATE NOW.
You'd Make Caty Hall
Stepping Stone to CamtoL.

Mayor Mcclellan does not, after ALL it was semi
officially announced yesterday, care for the Gov
ernorship. He will, If things go right take the
United States Senatorship; that is. If the Demo-
Gratis get control of the legislature in 1sCa That's
long time wait. but his friends at the Bartholdi
Hotel said last night that he would prefer the SEN
atorship to the Governorship
Mayor Mcclellan yesterday told his friends that
neither Charles F. Murphy nor any one else WAS
commissioned to speak for him about his future
plans. Charles F. Murphy admitted to his friends
that he had made bad break" when he told the
newspaper Wednesday afternoon that he
would confer with the Mayor and tell them after
ward whether Mayor Mcclellan, II re-elected would
serve out his term or not
The subject of retiring from the City Hall before
his Is out is one with the Mcclellan
people these days When the campaign started the
Tammany men. big and little, said:
Certainly the Mayor Will be the next candidate
for Governor and MCGOWAN will take his place..
This plan would turn the control of the
Board Of Estimate and Apporuonment over to the
close personal and business friends OF Charles r.
Murphy ana Patrick II. McCarren. and the spec
tacle conjured up was little too strong for tho
nerves of the average voter

burdened with letters asking him What about itf

have found their way to the Mayors desk:
