DISTRICT LEADERS HIT.
CUT FROM STRONGHOLDS.
Parsons Reapportionment Plan
Causes LiUeIy Speculation.

On the assumption that the Parsons plan OF
reapportionment would be accepted by the Leg
islature there was lively speculation yesterday
among Republican and Tanmany Assembly dis
trict leaders the mix-up in the downtown
districts incident to the changed lines.
The carving Of the lowermOst Senate district
puts the 1st, I'd, Sd and 9th Assembly districts
into the new 1st and I'd Assembly districts.
This makes it probable that Patrick ]. Ryder
and Big Tom Foley will retire. leaving Bat
terry Dan" Finn in the lower district and Little
Tim" Sullivan in the upper one. Similarly two
Republican leaders will go out Of business.
James f. March, leader of the 9th. is likely TO
remain a district leader. but he may have to
fight il out at the primaries either with Mr..
Delessandro. Of the 1st with Michael Hines.
OF the I'd.
The squeeze is likely to eliminate Julius
Hamburger as a leader, as John T. Oakley is
thrown into his district Oakley is stronger In
Tammany Hall than is Hamburger, and Charles
F. Murphy Will insist that Oakley have the con-
solidated district. For like reasons there will
be a clash at the primaries between Internal
Revenue Collector Eidman. Of the 10TH and
James F. Pegram. of the 14th. Eidman stands
the better chance of remaining leader of the new
district.
The Tammany district leaders. a rule. pre-
ferred the Odell-Halpin plan OF reapportion-
rnent, it did not change the downtown dis
tricts so much the Parsons plan. Now that
the Parsons plan has been adopted, the Tam
many men are at sea. 1t is expected that the
Tammany executive committee will be called
together at an early day TO consider the new
apportionment. The Tammany primary fights
are sure 70 be more bitter than those in the
Republican camp. as there is more at stake with
them. In nearly every district the Tammany
clubhouse is handsomely appointed, and where
two Of these district headquarters are crowded
into one Assembly district each of the old lead
will struggle to make his own the headquar-
tiers for the district.
Charles f. Murphy will remain in control Of
the 18th District on the Tammany side, and
United States Marshal William Henkel on the
Republican side. Henkel is a Parsons man in
the county committee. and his interests have
not suffered in the reapportionment. The bene-
fit accruing to him likewise affected Mr.. Muir
ply favorably.
Ex-Asderman Coggey the new Tammany
leader Of the oath District is likely retire. as
he is thrown into the 22d District, where Cor
rection Commissioner Lantry is strongly in
trenched as leader
It Is conceded that Richard Van Cott. Repub-
are hard hit in the 9th District as that district
is cut to pieces and distributed among adjoin-
ing districts
