"~N VI Iho AHScmOAy representation IN Jne
county they believed that Mr.. Murphy
would accede.
Mr.. M~urphy's friends said that he could
not under any circumstances agree to the
demand OF the Hearst people for one-half
OF the Senate and one-hali OF the As
sembly representation in the county, all
though he was not displeased because the
Hearst people had demanded four candi-
dates for Supreme Cour Justice or that
the three Tammany Senators who voted
against the 10 cent gas>bill still 10 the fore
should be turned down.
One OF the Representatives OF Mr.. Hearst
who IL so close to Mr.. Hearst that he speaks
practically with his voice said late last
night after the meeting of the executive
committee at the Gilsey House.
1T was only natural that Mr.. Come rs
SHOULD try to do all that he could to bring
about the placing before the voters Of a
single Democratic ticket, but we were
informed at the conference with Mr.. Con-
ners that Mr.. Murphy intended to insist
upo certain conditions and certain par
titions Of places on the local tickets, and
these we refused. That ended for all time
any connection between the Independence
League and Mr.. Murphy so far as the
county ticket is concerned.
As a result Of what happened this after
noon the executive committee Of the Inde-
pendenoe League met tonight and decided
to have a tickle Of its own from top to bot
tom" said this informant. 1T would only
be s~tultifying Mr.. Hearst for him TO agree
to the nomination Of some of the oandi-
dates for the Senate and for the Judiciary
that Mr. Murphy wants placed upon the
nonnrOEaffc cn,.pNry ftolaf IL ~ fhnD,Uh
Mr.. Hearst's efforts that the so sent gas
bill was passed and before he went away
this morning on his upstate tour he
left directions hat under no circum-
stances should his representatives ut the
conference to-day with Corners agree to
the denomination Of such men as Foley,
Fitzgerald, Hawkins and Riordan. on
corning this man Riordan, he has been
nominated by Tammany for Congress,
but the Independence League intends to put
up a candidate against him. Now that
We nave begun this fight We will carry it
out to the end and will endeavor to wipe
out Of political existence forever every
man who voted against the so cent gas
bill"
-Is Mr.. Hears going to oppose the nomi-
nation Of Big Tim Sullivan for the Senator
was asked.
sThat's an easy deduction to make. Big
Tim il the sponsor for some Of the men l
have mentioned, and why Shouldn't. Hearst
for Big Tim when he will not standfor
his henchmen?" was the answer.
Does the action of the leagues execu-
tive committee tonight mean that Mr..
Hearst will ave nothing further to do
with Mr.. Murphy it was suggested.
-Mr. Murphy has not shown a desire to
meet the wishes Of Mr.. Hearst in selecting
men for local places who could be relied
upon to carry out the promises that Mr..
Hearst has made in his platform and in his
public speeches. and il only for expedi-
ENJOYS sake Mr.. Hearst can AFFORD to ac-
cept the candidates for local offices and
for the judicial Offices that nave been sug-
gested by Mr.. Murphy and his friends.
Does the action OF the executive com
mittee tonight mean that Mr.. Hearst will
not even consult with Mr.. Murphy in max
ing up the leagues ticket?'
1t does" was the reply, but II Mr..
Murphy wishes to make any suggestions
to us those suggestions would receive re-
spectful consideration
Mr.. Murphy apparently had some idea Of
the trouble that was brewing for him when
he was seen late yesterday afternoon at
Tammany Hall. He was more anxious
to obtain news from the reporters than
to reply to the questions put to him. He
was informed that the Independence League
would probably insist Upon making up the
local tickets, leaving such remnants as it
wished to Mr.. Murphy, or would put a
straight league ticket in the field.
Did Mr.. Hearst say that?" Mr.. Murphy
more than once asked with SOM anxiety
Of tone. He was told that while the informa-
ton did not come directly from Mr.. Hearst
himself It came from ole who WAS author
lied to speak for Mr.. Hearst.
-Is there any possibility Of Tammany
Hall putting a straight county ticket in the
feld?" he was asked.
"Tammany Hall will be behind a ticket
which will have Democrats on it from top
to bottom" Mr.. Murphy replied.
We'll, that lets the Independence League
out, because John Ford, who is one OF Mr..
Hearst's candidates for the Supreme Court,
is a Republican, " 1t was suggested to Mr..
Murphy.
i've never met Mr.. Ford" said Mr..
Murphy, but then, you know, a man who
was a Republican last year might be a
Democrat this year"
Mr.. Murphy refused to answer any ques-
tons concerning the possibility Of the
turning down Of Big Tim Sullivan and
Senators Fitzgerald, Foley and Hawkins.
Mr.. Murphy's friends, however, said that
he very greatly desired TO nominate for
the Supreme Court bench Corporation
Counsel John j.. Delany and ex-Sherih
Mitchell l.. ETlanger, because he believed
Mr.. Delany would bring strength to the
ticket and because the Sullivans were
interested in the elevation Of Mr.. Erlanger.
Mr.. Murphy's friends went on to say that
he had two other candidates for the Supreme
Court bench, but they happened to be
Judges Of the Court Of General Sessions
Warren w. Foster and Thomas {. o'Sullivan
and that the Tammany district leaders
friendly to Mr.. Murphy did not at all agree
