CANNOT DELIVER TO HEARST
MuRpHYS MARGIN roo NARROW
FOR FANCY DEALS.

Altogether Proposed Judiciary DECKER
Il was agreed yesterday that Charles y.
Mlrphy would have q bare majority over
The Mcclellan and the Sullivan forces In ths
Tammany executive committee and that out
of lO5 delegates to 60 to the Democratic
State convention at Buffalo he would con-
troll about hfty-eeven or just barely enough
10 clap on the unit rule II he thought there
was 10 be anything gained by such q COURSE.
That this puts him In a position to turn
oyer the los delegates TO Hearst was very
Rravely disputed OF the part Of Tammany
leaders who are counted among Mr..
Murphy's friends. These leaders said yes
terday that while they had sustained MIR.
Murphy at the primaries on Tuesday their
districts were not for Mr.. Hearst and Mr..
Murphy could not dragon them into turn
Ing over their districts to Mr.. Hearst. There
a 20 be at Buffalo the most serious battle
probably in the recentshistory OF Tammany
Han. There is also TO be the greatest
strlr0le in the Democratic State organ
ixation at Buffalo that has occurred within
the last ten years. 1t promises TO be .
shindy from start to finish.
The fact that Mr.. Murphy through his
friends and Mr.. Hearst through his friends
within the last twenty-four hours o
pntered into an offensive and defensive
alliance was made very clear from personal
talks with Murphy men and Hearst men
last night. The Hearst men said hat the
Murphy men were to 60 TO Bunaio and
Fuse every honorable means" for Hearst's
nomination for Governor there, IN return
for which Mr.. Hesrsts Independence
league was TO use every honorable means"
20 aid and abet Mr.. Murphy's ten candidates
fm the Supreme Court bench In New York
county this fall. The original deal on this
matter was between Mr.. Odel's frendn
and Mr.. Murphy's friends but with Mr..
Odell gone where the woodbAne twtnethi
Mr.. Murphy's friends promptly hitchcd up
the same decker with Mr.. Hearst's friends.
A month ago TIE Sun told how Mr.. Muir
phy had had an interview with Percy Magic
1t the Westminster Hotel, when Mr.. Murphy
naively said to Mr.. Magic: Even II you
are elected leader of the Thirtieth district
YOU will not be seated" Most OF the other
Mtv newspapers told Of this singular Incl
dent. and il was also brought out that Mr..
NaRle, facing Mr.. Murphy, replied: You'll
be sending for me in a coach before this
iRht is over" Mr.. Murphy, true to his
statement Of a month ago., reiterated yes
terday that the law committee OF Tammany
(which is OF his own choosing) will undoubt-
edly refuse to seat Maggie, and, moreoverj
will decline to recognize Roswell D. Williams
of the Seventeenth district. Mr.. Murphy's
friends said that there was a precedent In
the Devery case for turning out Magic and
Williams, but the Mcclellan men and the
Sullivan men pointed out that Bill Devery

aoold: that 1t was his delight to jaw Tam
many, to humiliAte Tammany, to curse
Tammany, to ridicule Tammany, In the
columns Of every newspaper in the city Of
New York.
The Mcclellan men and the Sullivan
men said that Mr.. Murphy would not be
successful in his efforts 70 u out Magic
and Williams, for the reason that Magic
and Williams had won their spurs at the
primaries in a fght the methods Of which
Mr.. Murphy was thoroughly familiar with
himself, and had never decried Tammany.
but had been loyal to 1t. even though they
had had the hsrdihood to say that Mr..
Murphy could rot beat them in their dis
trfcts. 1t was learned furthermore that
II Mr.. Murphy attempts to turn out Maggie
and Williams he will not be supported by
Tammany leaders who are otherwise
friendly to him. for these men declared
yesterday that II they supported any such
policy on the part OF Mr.. Murphy they
would not know when he would apply the
same methods to them. Maggie and Will
Jams, it was declared, won In the usual
stand I'D, knock down Inc drag out fight
incident to Tammany primaries In GER
lain districts. and it was not believed, even
by Mr.. Murphy's friends in the organiza-
zion: that he would be permitted to have
his law committee or any committee Of the
organization u them out.
Mr.. Murphy sent for a number Of leaders
Yesterday and requested that they each
name one Of his own personal friends as a
delegate to the State convention in their
districts, but in each case Mr.. Murphy
was met with the response that the leaders
Of the districts desired to send men from
their own districts; that there were more
applicants to go as delegates to the State
convention from their own districts than
thew could possibly accommodate and that
they would have to refuse Mr.. MuTphy's
request.
give a list Of the district leaders whose
support he expected in the executive COM
mittee or at Buffalo. He said, speaking OF
Tuesdays results: Everything turned out
as l expected, except in the Cowan-Nagle
COQIpslt anu Luhb Will Ohb oo S@RONNNt
for Maggie will not enter the executive com
mittee on yesterdays returns" Mr.Murphy
went on TO say that Maggie. who won in his
district by about $500, had resorted TO
fraud and ballot box stuffing.
Does the result Of the primaries indicate
that Hearst will get the vote OF the New
York delegation?" Mr.. Murphy was asked.
81 don't care to nswer that question
now" Mr.. Murphy replied. When we
get to Buffalo we will have a caucus, decide
on our man and adopt the unit rule
The Hearst men said that they had it dead
straight that both Mr.. Murphy and Senator
McCarren would be for Hearst at Buffalo.
One Of the secrets OF the Hearst camp was
learned when IL was stated in~genuously
by Hearst men that Mr.. Hearst did not
care 10 run for Governor az the candidate
OF the Independence League only. for the
reason that he was after the Presidential
nomination in 1903 and that he could not
20 before a Democratic national convention
az a guerrilla candidate for Governor OF
New York State. For that reason Mr..
Hearst and his lieutenants have been al
