DOVE OF PEACE ALIGHTS.
HARMONY IN BROOKLYN.
McCaren and Murphy Make Up
old Differences.

AS the result of peace conference between
Senator Patrick II. McCarren the Democratic
leader in Brooklyn. and a committee from the
men who have been conducting fights against
him in the interests of Tammany Hall in the
various assembly districts held at the Claren-
don Hotel Brooklyn. last night the Senator
announced that "harmonized" party was as
sured for the coming campaign
Senator McCarren. who came down from
Saratoga in the midst of the racing season to
receive the overtures Of the insurgents would
not say how the conference came to be ar
ranged. but seemed immensely pleased at the
result of his talk with the committee 1t was
suggested that the enemy had capituated, as
they really have not had a leg to stand on since
Tammany Hall promised McCarren they would
keep their hands off in Brooklyn TO this the
Senator replied
Il want it distinctly understood that I am the
original harmony man in this town. and | am
very jealous of my reputation peacemaker."
The members of the committee who met Sen
ator McCarren were Robert \. Gillen. who has
been fighting James A. Bouck. leader in the 4th
Assembly District: Patrick Walsh. the Tam
many opponent of Deputy Public Works Com
missioner James s. Regan in the 18th District
and Magistrate FurIong. who has been leading
a forlorn hope against James p. Sinnott in the
21st District
1t was stated good authority that the
Brooklyn Tammany leaders began negotia tons
orders from Charles F. Murphy, who had
been supplying funds to them for their primary
fights. He has given them to understand that
there will be no money from Tammany for pri-
mary fights against McCarren this fall.
The treaty of peace made last night does not
affect the old Willoughby-st. men who work
with James Shevln. They are Water Commits
sioner Farrell of the 11th District: Register
Dooley, of the 18th. and Judge John Walsh, OF
the I'd. All are the leaders of their respective
districts, and McCsrren had planned to make q
strenuous warfare against them this fall But
as stated in The Tribune yesterday. il is under
stood that the county leader has decided TO call
off these fights, in order that the Democratic
ticket should not he injured thereby.
1t is not known just what terms of surrender
McCarren offered 10 the Brooklyn Tammany
leaders. but probably he has promised them
some representation in the city convention and
the County Committee. He will he in Brooklyn
for several days i'm the interest of his harmony
plans
1t was learned last night that the Democratic
city convention will be held October >.
