Back to CONGRESS.

There is trouble in Tammany Hall over the disin-
clination OF Charles f Murphy to renomfnate Will
lam Sulzer for Congress. Sulzer has not been neas
Mr.. Murphy since the state convention, and his
friends last night said he was not going to Tam
many Hall unless he renomnated Murphy
his friends confideTrally that Sulzer has out
lived his usefulness. and that 1t will be good idea
to IN his place
The Sulyans and Harburgers stand by Sulzer.
They cay that II hard enough for Tammany
TO turn him down in favor OF Hearst, and that tbs
organization has no business 10 go beyond that
sulzer feels bitter toward the Sullivans He
thinks that II they stood by him he would have
been nominated at Buffalo.
The Congress conventions are on Tuesday night,
and that at which Mr. Sulzer expects renomiua-
ton will be held at No. 2E 7th street The dis
trct is made up of the 4th 9th and 10th and parts
OF the Cd SO and 18th Assembly districts. There
will be l35 delegates in the convention, ana they
Will be favoraoly disposed toward Sulzer IL the
order does not come from the man higher up TO

THE LEAGUE CALLED OFF,
Murphy Orders No Opposition to
Big Tim S" Run for Senator.

Unofficial orders have gone from Tammany
Hall to the headquarters Of the Independence
League in the Gilsey House that big Tim" Sui
Ivan is not to be opposed by a league candidate
for the Senate in the new 18th District, in which
he is TO make the race.
Not long ago Big Tim" was described by
William r. Hearst in signed statement as the
lord high protector of crooks and criminals"
and Mr.. Hearst intimsted that he would not be
satisfied until such men as Sullivan. Taggert and
McCarren were driven out Of politics. That was
before the Sullivan and Murphy men threw the
Tammany delegates to him and nominated him
for Governor. The partnership into which Mr..
Hearst has entered seems to have tied him up
with the general policy OF Tammany Hall, pre-
venting him from driving Sullivan out Of poll
tios. he seemed to want to do.
Not only will Sullivan and Murphy compel
Hearst TO keep hands off big Tim" but every
one In Tamnany Hall knows that when big
Tim gets to Albany he Is going to set I'D in
business as the custodian of certain interests
he protected certain interests while there be-

bounds until he was the owner Of theatres and

JUSTICE ADJoURNs CONVENTION.
Trouble Arises from Dispute Over Represen.
tation In Oneida County.

Rome, NJ Y. Sept zs-Ths Republican County
Convention which TO meet here to nominate
candidates for county Offices. was adjourned TO
October by order Of Justice Scripture. and no
business was done. The trouble arose over dis
pute regarding the basis Of representation in the
convention, For many years the wards OF Utica
and Rome have elected delegate each and the
country towns three each. Utica now holds that
the representation should be based the Republt-
can vote cast IN each town and ward at the last
state election. This would give that city sixty
six delegates, instead Of fifteen. and this number
has been elected.
Late last night the opposition got an injunction
from Justice Andrews OF Syracuse. requiring
Chairman Coggeshau OF the County Committee to
strike from the roll Of delegates in Utica all except
from each ward or show cause why this should
not be done. This was served at a. m to-day
This forenoon the Utica contingent secured from
Justice Scripture. Of Rome, order directing the
county chairman TO show cause why the sxty-six
Utica men should not be allowed to remain on tho
roll. This is made returnable before Jus,Bce An
drews on October 6, and the legal status OF the
matter will then be decided.

NO HEARST MEN FOR McARREN.
Senator Has Picked His Candidates for Ju.
dietary Ticket in Kings.

There Will be Hearst nominated to the
regular Democratic Judiciary ticket in Kings
County. according to Senator P. H McCarren.
The Senator is said to have already picked out his
ticket and 1t is understood consist OF the fol-
lowing Samuel Stuart Wh'tehouse, Isaac NJ.
Kapper Luke D. Stapleton. Colonel James D. Bell,
George B. Abbott. William B. Hurd, IT., and
Townsend Scudder. The latter three the
ticket selected by the Committee OF One Hundred,
which will probably be accepted by the Republicans
Of Kings County. Regarding the judiciary ticket,
Senator McCarren said yesterday:
The Democracy Of Kings County will hold its
local conventions to nominate local candidates for
Judges, Congressman, State Senators and Assem-
blymen on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of next week. The regularly elected
delegates of the Democratic party chosen at the
to be filled There will be interference from
outside in these conventions The candidates nomi-
mated by these several conventions in the regular
Democratic way will be the candidates OF the
Democracy of Kings County.
In the same way that We have accepted and will
support the ticket expect the state ticket
and all other Democrats to accept and support the
candidates whom We shall name.
The members of the Independence League In
Kings County will probably place judiciary ticket
of their own in the field. They disgruntled be-
cause the Democrats are paying little attention
to Them after accepting Hearst as the Democratic
candidate for Governor. Register A J. BoultOn,
who is believed be closely in touch with
Hearst any member of the Independence League
in Brooklyn said yesterday that therb a
strong sentiment among the members Of the league
for a straight local ticket He does not believe
that there should be a coalition with the Demo-
cratic organization.

The regular system OF using electric motive power
on the suburban trains and for all trains passing
through the tunnel will probably begin about
November 10. A feature OF the system Is
that incoming trains will arrive on the right hand
