feels that the TammanH nominees are not up to the standard set by the league.
 What Gan MurpE! Do.
 Now. what is Murphy to do? What can he do? It is as clear as the noonday sun that at heart he wishes Hearst was at the bottom of the sea, but in shaping his conduct he has to bear in mind that the rank and file of Tammany is for Hearst. It seems very doubtful to men thoroughly ac- quainted with the situation if an edict from Murphy to his district leaders to knife Hearst would be obeyed. Of course, it would be passed down to the rank and file by the district lead CTS, but would it have any effect?
 Last year, running as an indepen- dent candidate for mayer, Hearst re- ceived 225OO0 votes in Greater New York. It is conceded that in New York City proper most of his votes came from Tammany, notwithstanding that organization had a candidate for mayor, Mir Mcclellan.
 In long list of candidates to be sition to Tammany candidates for con- gress, state senate and assembly, the independence league indicates that it proposes to "go after" many of the Tammany pets Some of Hearst s friends intimate that he s trying to force Murphy openly to oppose him, believing 1t would help him with the people.

Both Statr Chairman Woodruff and County Chair man Persons have refused to sane t0n any compromise deals with Mr, Nearst's lea%ue, notwithstanding such dels would have made sure the elec- tioa of seyeral Republican congress- men in dcuhtful districts.

 Hearst receives all this information with smile and says: "lf We are to reform things We must have legisla tule at Albany on which we can de pend for support. So there you are; Hearst openly defyng the Democratic bosses ill tho boroughs that make up Greater New York, apparently glad to know that the olQline conservative Democrats are nearly all against him. and yet abandoning the city for the upstate. with the announcement that he is convinced he will carry the city by a great majority.
