Mr.. Murphy has already had an opposl-
ton organization started in the Sixteenth

said yesterday that Murphy has In his
possession afidavits from Election district
captains which state that they were or
dered by Lantry to give directions for the

may be started against me in Fourteenth

large falling of In the vote for Hearst.

Although the friends Of Mayor Mcclellan
expect to test the strength Of Mr, Murphy
In the committee by raising an issue on
some question. they are looking more to
next years primaries to beat Murphy.

with Alton B. Parker, Thomas NJ. Osborne.
Democratic State Committeeman Charles
y. Rattigan of Auburn and with James j.
Martin, who recently resigned the Tam

Of the present Commissioners OF Elections

will not follow the usual custom OF acting
on the recommendations which the two
principal political organizations are re-
quired by law to make. but viii ignore the
Tammany recommendation and appoint a
Democrat OF his own choosing. John X.
