ProblemadC Whether Cable
of Croker TO McCarren
Will Do Hearst More
Harm Than Good.


NEW YORK, Nov New York
city for Hearst by from 5000 to 100004.
is the prediction Of Charles T. Murphy.
leader Of Tammany Hall, today
There Is q general belief that his pre-
diction WAS made before the full force
OF the Pat AIcCarren-Richard Croker
cable coup Of yesterday was realized.
There IS no question but that strong
bull movement dominated the action OF
Hearst's stock yesterday as a result
Of the open stand FOR him taken BY
Nathan SJraUs- the millionaire mer-
chant and philanthropisJ whose jung
mcnt will doubtless direct the vote Of
thousands of East side Hebrews. What
the effect of the Croker cablegram VIII
be, however, - not 50 easily determined
though II is more than likely 10 prove
detrimental 10 Hrarsts chances
The cabieEram IL question, mace pun
lie 1ate vest -rday afternoon by McCar-
zen. contains CrOkerS COusraIulauOn 70
thf. Brooklyn leaders lighting against
Hearst The inference Is easy.
Richard Croker is against Hearst
Working for Asti-Boss Vote.
Easy as the inference is. the effect IS
not SO easy 20 forecast Certain IL -
that Croker stiu has a strong following
ters his nod is stn equivalent TO Il COM
mand CrOkers stand against Hearst
viii doubtless cost the latter many votes.
The question at issue. however is, VIII
il cost him more evtes thsH it wiz win
hirnE Hearst has taken his stand as a
bOss-buster- His sincerity f. the matter
has OF course been questioned, because
of his ultimate lining up with Murphy.
Yet he still stands bv LIs declaration
Hs- I "a Cd TEs al
uJude has doubtless won him many
votes among men opposed 10 boss rule
and his managers-wnile denying today
the genuiEeness OF the Croker cable
contend that If IL is proved true VIII de-
velop into "a boomerang 10 the anti
HearstiJes by lining mp lor the lnde-
pendeuce Lacquer the anti boss vote.
Hearst Says 100000 Majority.
Ali the talk, however. only tends 10
intensity the muddIe IN the local situa-
ton. Hearst must carry New York city
10 win. Of course, He SAYS he viii do
the trick by 10000 votes. In support
Of his claims he cites the vote he polled
as a mayoralty candidate, the unpre-
cedented enthusiasm with which he has
been greeted at all his IN sJings in the
city and the general demand for an un-
bossed, anti-corpOration governor such
as he says he viii be. Ohsetting this.
. however is the undeuiabIe fact that
the Democratic machine has more loose
screws than az any time in years and
that Furthermore il -s wOefully lacking
in oil Mayor Mcclellan and the
city administration forces are handing
Hearst their choicest Inc Of Stletto
thruzts in Manhattan Island, and Nc
Carren is getting in his work with tell
ing eIrcCt In Brooklyn
