JEROME AND HEARST.
Question AS to Which One Will Re-
ceive the Nomination.

New York, Aug. PA statement by
Charles F. Murphy today that he
found no sentiment in Tammany Hall
for District Attorney jerome as
prospective nominee of the Democratic
partv for governor, but that on the
contrary he found plenty of sentiment
for William Randolph Hearst, brought
a quick response from Mr.. jerome to-
night. MI Murphy in his interview de-
cl;red that the Tammany delegation I"
Buffalo undoubtedly would be bound
BY the unit rule and that Tammany
delegates usually were guided by the
sentiment of the organization.
In a reply to Mr.. Murphy, given out
tonight, District Attorney jerome de-
clares it was no surprise to him to find
Murphy practically declaring for
Hearst ana among other things he
said:
"'Eirds of 4 feather flock together
ana when q person intellectually Ster-
lie. socially vulgar and morally Obtuse.'
insults the decent people Of the state,
irrespective Of party. by seeking the
nomination of Il political party by ad-
Vancing dollars and not ideas, and by
methods akin to those of the black
mailer, no thinking man could doubt
where Murphy could be found.
Il should fear l had lost all my
friends if | found men Of this type sup

pulsion.
"If | ever come to have any inilu
en"c in the Democratic party it will
be used to drive out of it the bosses of
this type.
Both the Democratic and Republi-
can parties have long enough been dis
graced and dominated by men of this
tyre, controlling party organization.
1.-THE fight is to see the parties over
Just men as Murphy. TO deprive them
of their control of the executive ma
chinery. to restore the discharge Of the
functions for which it is created, Viz:
the effective expression of the will of

Little Hope Of Saving
Stranded Str. Manchuria.
Hard and Fast on Coral Reef
and Already Badly Damaged.
PASSENGERS All II---Captain Assumes
Blame for The Disaster.

Honolulu, Aug. 21.-Persons who
have returned from the stranded
steamer Manchuria believe that the
vessel is doomed. Four Of her eight
boilers have been rendered useless, re-
peated pounding on the reef having
damaged the foundations of the boilers
The port engine also is disabled on ac-
count of the breaking of its main
steam pipe.
The vessel is believed to be about
IL feet further in shore than when she
struck, in spite of almost constant tug
ging in the opposite direction, and she
is leaking amidships.
Apparently the steamer rests amid
ships on a patch of hard coral over
which she turns and pitches as upon
a pivot.
Captain Saunders assumes blame for
the accident.
Late today the condition Of the strand
ed steamship Manchuria was said to be
more serious than at any time since sh
stranded. \ proposition is now being
considered to dredge the channel from
where the Manchurfa now lies to deep
water
