The Washington herald., 1906-10-16

New York Oct 15.-Just when every
body was beginning to believe that there
would be no trouble between Hearst ana
Tammany Hall over the nominations OF the
local ticket, particularly with reference to
the candidates for judicial places. the
statement CT the Democratic candidate
for governor that he would not stand Tor
two of the Tammany candidates already
nominated under the agreement that
Charles F. Murphy made with the man
ayers of the independence League fell
like bombshel in local Democratic
circles.
The news that the agreement would not
be carried out in full came early this
morning, when the executive committee
Of the league, after an interesting session,
gave out long statement that It would
not indorse the nomination of J. J. Brady,
a close friend of Borough President Haf
fen, and candidate for Supreme Court JUS
tice. or Of Francis f. McAvoy, brother
- --'honas F. McAvoy. who was put up
for the Court of General Sessions by the
Tammany convention.
Thomas F. McAvoy is a former police
inspector and deputy commissioner OF
that department, and he is a power IN
Tammany Hall To make the blow
stronger Mr.. Hearst has insisted that
City Magistrate Matthew p. Breen, who
was turned down In the Tammany con-
VentiOn, should be nominated in place of
Brady. and that Otto Rosalsky, the Re
publican candidate for the Court of Cen
erai Sessions. should be indOrsed instead
OF AIcAvOy. Mr.. Hearst is friendly TO
Rosalsky because the latter. who is serv-
ing as a judge by appointment, was
strenuous in his efforts TO get the grand
jury to indict the members of the ice
trust when tEetT case was up for cOnsid-
Grafton last summer.
Nay Cost Him New York County.
II Hearst actually carries out his
scheme to nominate these men, there is
sure 10 be a revolt in Tammany Hall
which probably would result in his losing
New York County. Added 10 this is the
admitted fact that he is going 10 be
knitted by the organization Democrats Of
Brooklyn and Queens.
To say that the Tanmany district lead
ers are angry at the latest move OF the
Independence League would scarcely de
scribe the condition OF affairs. Mr. Mur-
ply would not discuss the situation, but
there were pienty of leaders in the hall
to-day who were outspOken in their de-
nunciation OF Hearst and his managers.
and who said they would not support the
Democratic candidate ii he did not cease
10 tamper with the judicial ticket There
was also talk OF reconvening the County
convention. and taking from the ticket
the names Of Recorder John ". GOf,
Samuel Seabury, ChaEles ". Dayton. AM
John Ford. VINO were nominated at the
demand of Mr. Hearst. There Is some
question, however. as to whether this
can be done legally.
No successor has yet been appointed
by the mayor for Commissioner Wood
bury, Of the street cleaning department,
who resigned on Saturday. Col McClel-
Ian said to-day that he had not yet Sc
lected ihe man. The mayor, it IS said.
intends TO drive ou OF the city govern
mcnt ali the officials who are opposed
10 him politically, and that there viii
he a big shake-up in some more OF the
Departments soon.
Col. Mcclellan hopes. it is said. to build
un a political machine that viii give him
control Of Taumany Hall if Hearst is
defeated
Republicans Lost Upstate Labor.
Hearst is still speaking upstate but
his allies here, including Max +. Ihmsen,
the campaign manager, are very busy.
There are squalls in the Republican
camp, too. but not nearly as violent as
those Of TIE Democrats. There is much
grumbling over the way Chairman Wood
TUn Of the Republican State committee.
is handling the campaign. and there is
no doubt that Sir. Hughes friends are
greatly frightened over the detection of
worldngmen in the factory towns up
state who voted for Mckinley and
Roosevelt There is also Il scarcity of
funds Oh account Of the new law that
prohibits contributions TO the campaign
fund by corporations. Tt is said that the
party thus far has raised only $4,000 In
other years this would be considered d
mere bagateile. 1t would not begin to
pay the ordinary expenses Of the commit
tee.
