MR. MURPHY ANGRY.
AS IL Is an insult 70 the boss of Tannuiany Hall
at eny time 20 :e3l him that he does not own
TIE organization and cannot Go with the dele
gates as he wills, the o'Brlen state1nens ansered
Mr Murphy. The o'Brien interview. which was
given out IN Saratoga. follows;
am going 20 be a delegate 20 the Democratic
ONE and him nominated on the first ballot
JerOme's announcement OF his candidacy Is what
the friends Of Democracy have been hoping Tor.
II is the first step out Of darkness.
It VIII inject a wholesome vitality into our
party at a time when a weak and vacillating oi-
vision seems willing 70 yield 70 canoiaate VINO
demands the nomination on the ground that IL
he does not get it he will play traitor again.
Jerome wiD be giving the highest service 10 his
party and his country by disposing OF that cam
AiGate anG his pretensions for all time
What win be Charles =: Murphy's attitude
toward Jerome's candidacy?" was asked
i 40 not know and do not care He is not
Tammany Hall. and he will find Tammany in no
lowed John Kelly and Richard Croker sometimes.
when IN private IL questioned the wisdom OF the
lcIley OF tne moment out neither o. thess leaders
ever asked the organization TO follow blindly 20
tts destruction, that his own personal and politi-
cal fortunes might be saved. IL Murphy can see
what is going on about him he will realize that
the organization in New York cannot be pledged
and pawned as his personal property.
When he puts his survival above that OF
Che organization he forgets that he holds his
nominal place at the favor OF the organization,
and that self preservation is the first impulse Of
organizations well as OF men. There is diff
ference between taking orders and taking
poison
have talked with many OF the Democratic
leaders Ia other parts OF the state and they feel
1hst Jerome will arouse the Democracy IN every
section and that as our candidate he win attract
and hold that independent vote which has be-
come the deciding factor in our elections.
When Mr. Nurphy's attention was called 20
SIR. o'Brien's statement that he could not de-
liver the Tsmmsny delegation. Mr.. Murphy re-
forted:
'weIl. oBrien cannot deliver the delegation:
that's certain"
VIII there be division in the delegation?"
no: undoubtedly the unit rule win be adopted.
and the Tammsny delegation will vote solidly
tcr the candidate favored by majority Of the
delegation"
NO JEROME SENTIMENT.
Have you yet found any Jerome sentiment in
Tammanyg"
Not particle said Murphy. with en-
phasis.
Have you found any sentiment in the organi-
cation for Hearst?' ne was asked.
Yes. plenty Of it.'
rs it usual for a Tammany delegation TO be
guided by the expressed sentiment throughout
the organization?"
Yes. that is always the case" said Mr.. Muir
phy.
And you flnd the sentiment for Hearst?'
"Yes. there is plenty Of sentiment for him"
Us Mr.. Hearst your personal candidateT'
I have no personal candidate" said Mr. Muir
ply u am with the sentiment in the organiza-
tlon"
Mr. Murphy said that the following district
contests had been settled "out Of COURT In ad-
vance OF the primaries by dividing the commit
teenen and seating each contestant IN execu-
tive committee with full vote: The Dalton
Dooling contest. in the new 9th District: the
Cogsey-Dunn contest in the 18th; the Prender-
sast-Scannel contest. IN the 25th and the Nc
Guire-o'Neill contest. in the 32d.
All the Murphy district leaders. after hearing
Murphys declaration for Hearst, came out
openly for him. The word has gone around the
districts that "the boss" is for Hearst and that
II Is time TO fall in line and not give the Nc
Clellan men chance
sULLIvANs SHOULD SUPPORT MAYOR
According to the friends Of Mayor Mcclellan
the Sullivan men in the Tammany organisation
should be for Mcclellan in the fight which Is
now on between Mcclellan and Murphy for con-
trol OF the delegation at the state convention.
Mcclellan has been giving them everything he
could IN the shape Of patronage, and they have
pledged their support 70 him In a battle with
Murphy.
The friends OF big Tim" invariably swing
back into line with the leader OF Tammany
whenever there Is a SHOW down" and that is
exactly what he is preparing them TO do now Be-
fore leaving for Saratoga two weeks ago he told
fr Murphy that he would be loyal 20 the organ
ization, and that while he would like 20 help Nc
Clellsn his desire along that line would not let
him break away from the organization in the
state convention.
Just what WIFI happen in Kings Is difficult TO
forecast McCarren is more steadfast IN his
purposes than Sullivan. Hearst has branded him
as dishonest man. along with Sullivan and Me-
eiellan He is likely TO stand up and fight
Hearst until the end OF the rollcalI.
Fire Commissioner O'Brten says that he has
Murphy beaten. When seen yesterday on his
return from Saratoga he said:
In declaring for Jerome I have assurances
That sufficient number OF Tammany leaders
are for him 20 give him the Tammany delega-
ton We know where we stand and are pre-
pared 20 make good. I don't wish 20 discuss the
nne-up az this time. although am free 90 say
where stand"
