W put up 10 the extent or about S0O,OVO for
the sake of voting for Mr. McAvoy for the
General Sessions bench. Murphy guards the
Tammany dough bag. Mr.. McAvoy's friends
will not put up if Hearst indorses Rosalsly
because Rosalsky would have a walkover.
That is where the shoe pincnes
What do you think" Mr. Murphy asked.
of the attitude Of the independence League in
refusing to withdraw Rosalsky?"
Il think that some one got some of his
money" said Mr.. Murphy
'Will you please explain what you mean by
your remark that got some of his
money!" the reporters asked
Well they have asked for cash and they are
holding up candidates for cash"
ACCUSES HEARST MANAGERS.
DO you mean that the individual candidates
of the Independence League are holding up
Tammany Hall candidates for money, or is 1t
being done by the managers of the Independence
League at the Gilsey House?" Mr. Murphy
asked.
Il mean the managers They have lot Of
them up there, but don't know who they are.
mean the managers reiterated Mr.. Murphy.
adding, Il think this is a matter in which the
public is concerned. and of which 1t should
be informed"
Judge Rosalsky when seen regarding the
statement made by Mr.. Murphy said:
Murphys instnuation is groundess. 1t is
malicious falsehood. did not directly or in
directly solicit the Endorsement of the Inde-
pendence League 1t came to me without bar
gain or pledge"
After conference at the Gilsey House among
the managers Of the Independence League. at
which John Murphy, private secretary to Will
lam j. Corners chairman of the state commit
tee. was present. the following statement was
given out regarding Charles F. Murphy's state
ment as to Judge Rosalsky and his nomination
by the Independence League:
The statement made by Mr. Murphy relative
to Judge Rosalsky and his nomination by the
Independence League is absolutely false.
LEAGUE HAS LITTLE TO SAY.
When 1t was pointed out to Mr.. hmsen that
this was not an answer 70 Mr. Murphy's charges
he said that it was all that was to be given out.
Later Mr. Ihmsen called the reporters to his
room and handed them the following additional
statement bearing the subject:
The managers of the Independence League at
the Gilsey House. so-called. are not holding up
candidates for cash. If any one. even remotely
connected with the league, attempted such a.
thing, we shall be glad to know of the facts
doubt If any candidate Of the league has, as
yet contributed one cent TO the leagues
paign fund.
When the statement made by Charles F.
Murphy, the Tammany leader, rejecting on
Judge Rosalsky was shown to District Attorney
Jerome the latter refused to discuss the matter
saying:
You will have to show me better evidence than
the mere statement OF Murphy before I would
take any notice of such thing that.
Late In the afternoon W. Bourke Cochran
called Mr. Murphy at Tammany Hall and had
long talk with him about the alleged bribery
story. 1t is said that Cochran told Murphy that

CHARLES V. FORNES APPROACHED
Two others who were sent for by Mr. Murphy
were Charles V. Fornes, candidate for Congress
in the 18th District. now represented by Mr..
Hearst and Alderman Reginald S. Doull, Mr..
Fornes's campaign manager. One feature OF the
bribery story concerns Mr.. Fornes. 1t
ported yesterday that friends of James A. Allen,
the Hearst candidate for Congress in the 11th.
had approached Mr.. Fornes with the suggestion
that Mr. Allen would withdraw from the race If
Mr. Fornes would put up $25OOO
Mr. Fornes is thrifty man. and he looks at
s25 900 u long tirne-when he can. Hence, he
saw nothing attractive in the proposition. and
told his caller so. That was the gist of the
story at Tammany Hall After telling Mr. Muir
ply all he knew about it. Mr.. Fornes said
There was no actual demand made on me
There was, however. an intimation from men
purportng to be friends of Mr. Allen that If
would give them $3.50, MIR. Allen would with
draw from the race. don't know whether they
represented Allen or not. l didn't give them
anything.
When Mr.. Murphy at o'clock last
night he had little TO say. He acted as If he
wished he hadn't said anything. His attention
was called to the denial by Judge Rosalsky and
he was asked If Rosalskys friends were the
Nv ,IjaI
1T was intimated to me that Rosalsky put
up the dough"
Surprising stories of the prevailing prices for
judgeships at Tammany Hall We're in circulation

that one candidate on the Tammany ticket
agreed TO stand for" assessment of $4,000.
and that the friends of of the other candi
dates actually agreed TO pay into the Tammany
treasury the enormous sum of 100000 In order
to get his relative bench nomination.
ANGERED BY THE HEARST CARTOON.
The latest remarks of Mr. Murphy and the
unusual and menacing tone in which he ad-
dressed the reporters when he made the charges
against his erstwhile political bedfeows were
regarded by people in position to watch the
inner currents of Tammany sentiment as
clear proof that the big boss is at last angry
through and through. People close to Murphy
know that despite his long and obdurate silence
under the attacks made on him, he has become
more and more irritated and embittered as he
daily paraded before the public the coarse
figure in stripes the invention OF the man who
owed TO him his nomination for Governor, and
read the columns of denunciation and vitupera-
ton of himself reprinted from Hearsts news
papers until the load got too heavy TO bear.
Finally the worm has turned His savage
charge against the smooth and well-paid agents
of Hearst at the Gilsey House, who acted as II
