HEARST TAKES MURPHY SLATE.
SILENCES HIS RERELS, WILL
WITHDRAW CANDIDATES.

There will be no third judiciary ticket
nut out by the Independence League.
Moreover. by the direct orders Of Mr.. Hearst
the greater number Of the candidates who
have been put in the field by some Of the
independents OF the Independence Leagueto
oppose Tammany candidates for Congress,
he senate and the Assembly will be with
drawn between now and next Wednesday,
the lbs, day for the fling Of independent
nominations.
II has been told to Mr.. Hearst and his
managers that unless the attempt 20 i'm
press upon the oters Of the State that
they are not working with a perfect UNDER
standing with Tammany Hall Is dropped
ct once there will be a knitting Of Mr.. Hearst
down here by direction OF the Tammany
district leaders. William j. Corners. after
a talk lasting over three hours with Charles
!. Murphy on Friday, saw Max Ihmsen and
told Mr.. lhmsen, who is Mr.. Hearst's po-
ltical manager, that the funny business
which was being countenanced by the
Independence League heads would have
10 he ended or that the effort to elect Mr..
Hearst might as well be dropped. Mr..
Conners is understood to have expressed
himself in such emphatic language that Mr..
Ihusen was impressed, and it is under
stood also that Mr.. Conners and Mr.. Murphy
received assurances that an end would be
put to the pretences from the publicity
bureaus of the Gilsey House to the effect
that Mr.. Hearst was 30 confident of his
position that he vas perfectly indifferent
to Mr.. Murphy and to Tammany Hall.
Timothy Driscoll, tho chairman OF the
Independence Leagues county committee,
and about a dozen other membeW Of that
committee got together on Thursday
night, denounced the deal between Mr..
Hearst and Mr.. Murphy on the judiciary ticket
and appointed a committee of six to go to
Elmira and tell Mr.. Hearst that unless
he repudiated the Tammany ticket and
permitted the nominating Of an independent
ticket the league would break away from
him and nominate a ticket OF its own. Mr..
Driscoll and his fellow mutIneers did not
know at that time that they had no power
to dictate what the Independence League
should do or should not do.
In fact it was because OF the assumption
by Mr. DriscoIl and his friends that they
had some voice in the affairs Ct the
Independence League that Mr.. Hearst in
spired the giving out OF the story which
appeared in The Sun and other papers
yesterday that the Independence League
is q corporation and that any action taken
In the name OF the league and any can
didates running under it's emblem must
first have the approval Of tho board OF
directors OF the Independence League
corporation.
As has been stated, Mr.. Driscoll did not
now when he went 20 Elmira on Thursday
night With one other lone member Of the
sub-committee-the other -four having found
reasons why IL was inconvenient for them
10 60 along with Mr.. Driscoll-tSAt the
Independence League was not a political
party. but q corporation formed under the
corporation laws Of the State Of New York.
II was related with glee yesterday at
the Gilsey House by one OF Mr.. Hearst's
managers that Mr.. Driscoll, instead OF
carrying out his programme to speak man
fully and bravely to Mr.. Hearst. as he had
threatened at the meeting on Thursday,
got such a spanking. in a metaphorical
sense, that he came back 10 New York,
and at a meeting yesterday OF the county
committee advised the beEligerents that
II they hoped to be cared for in the event of
Mr.. Hearst's election they would do well
to drop the third ticket agitation.
A despatch to THE SUN es,ribing the
reception which Mr.. Driscol and Max
Stern, his companion, received from Mr..
Hearst says:
'Mr. Hearst received them cavalierly,
gave them perhaps two minutes OF bis time
and dismissed them abruptly.
He treated the whole thing lightly
said John Ford, who was with Mr.. Hearst
They came herr, Mr.. Hearst said to-day,
to ask him what his views were as to putting
a straight league Judiciary ticket in the
neld. Mr.. Hearst says he told Drisooll
that be refused TO be put in the attitude Of
a dictator OF the league and that he did not
intend 70 take q hand In the New York
county situation at all
II told Drisooll further that the Inde-
peDdence League knew his ideas about
judiciary candidates; that he believed in
selecting the best man possible, WHISTLER
they are Democrats, Republicans or
ieaguers, and that he did not want politics
to enter into the situation. Then he said
that the league Oo1d act against those
wishes or in accordance with them; he
wouldn't attempG to issue orders.
Before the committee Of two departed
very sore and dlsappotnted they learned
from Mr.. Hearst that he was dlsgu5ted
and surprised at the. attitude Of certain dis
appointed Independence League oAndi-
dates for o1ioe. Mr.. Hearst knows that
several meg who have enjoyed the Sd-
vantages OF the GIlsey House headquarters
are trying to dlrupt the organization o
that they have failed 70 land Judgeehip
nominations. Speaking IL the 0Ilssy House
trouble makers In q general way to-day
Mr.. Hearst said that 'onics sorAmbling'
vas very distasteful 70 him. but that he
would take no action q any sort.
The men who came 20 500 me had no
credentials Of any Sort said Mr.. Hearst.
did not consider shem as q delegation at
al.''
The county coulittee met Yesterday
IN the Gihsey House. The meeting vas
secret and long. Il was also quarrelsome.
From what could bo learned after the ad-
Jourument Mr.. Drisooll and his friends
advised b committee TO obey Mr.. Hearst.
