al a part Of the game OF politics and was

- The chapter that came out yesterday was
suit. unexpected and altogether interesting
coroner Hamburger is the kind of man that
,uy.. TO talk At the meeting Of the Tammany
s-scutire committee on Tuesday last there were
snsachss by Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Cochran. Mr..
I6r and Coroner hamburger. It was not
,rown at the time. but it is a fact that Mr..
-5.rburger made the most important speech of
- Nothing was said about 1t by Thomas f.
9Th when he gave to the reporters what pur-
lied 10 be a comprehensive tale OF the pro-
ceedings
thst the fight between the Hearst managers and
.bs law committee of Tammany Hall was a
sood deal OF a sham. and that the Hearst car
.-,5pes were blanks That statement is doing its
,-ork among the outraged laboring men.
Rut Harburser made the best speech of the
syening He told his colleagues that everything
mas positively fine in his district He said that
;. had been sent for by William r. Hearst and
ted gone to Mr.. Hearst's house in Lexington
svenue for talk He said that Mr.. Hearst had
ssked him IL Tammany was supporting him ION
,hs level" and he assured Mr.. Hearst that
was.
AR Hearst said that he had had misgivings
shout the support that Tammany was giving
him as he feared that a constant reprinting Of
.rrbe Journals" cartoons pictuTing Mr.. Murphy
:, stripes might be making a very bad impress
s,on among the Tammany rank and file. and
u5tb NJ. Murphy himself. Mr.. hamburger
erred MI Hearst that Mr.. Murphy was too
broad minded to feel little thing like pioturing
him in stripes and saying that he was the
worst criminal Of all, and that MIR. Murphy was
working heartily for the success of the Hearst
ticket
Mr Hearst then told Mr.. Hamburger that he
vas glad 10 hear that MT. Murphy did not feel
badly about it. and he told Mr. Hamburger to
SAY 10 his friends that anything that he (A1r.
EearsO might say about bosses and his freedom
from them for the good Of the cause and
would tend to keep the workingmen with him.
Mr. Hamburger assured the candidate that
1r Murphy understood It. and that Mr.. Murphy
and the leaders IN Tammany Hall felt under
obligations to AIr. Hearst for the handsome way
that Mr. Hearst had stood for the judiciary
slate arranged by Tammany.
AL o. these things were dwelt upon by Mr..
Earburger in his speech. The reason that his
words are not quoted IS because no one took
notes os what be sGid. although nearly all the
leaders caught the full meaning OF his remarks.
After verifying the fact that Hamburger had
been to see Hearst at his house and that he
had told all about It ct the meeting OF the exec
utive committee in Tammany Hall on Tuesday.
Tribune reporter saw Mr.. Hamburger last
night at his home and asked about the circum-
stance.
Did you go TO see Mr. Hearst?' was the first
question
Wei. really" said Julius you coming
at ne pretty strong with a fat question like
that. I don't mind saying that I did see Mr..
Hearst ct his house and had talk with him."
Did Mr.. Hearst say that Mr.. Murphy must
not mind what he said about him on the stump
and what was reprinted in the shape of car
Dons because he. Hearst, did not mean any
arrn b. it aII?'
III. hamburger colored like a peony. After he
got his bearings he said:
That vas z private conversation 7 will say
thai Nr. Hearst was very circumspect in what
he said. He asked me If Tammauy was sup
porting him on the level, and I told him that
Il was"
But about the other pont-that Mr.. Murphy
must not take offence at what he said on the
Eump-did Mr. Hearst say anything about
that"
It was a private conversation. All that about
Ah Murphy not mindlng what was being said
and printed was said by one Of Mr.. Hearsts
managers and not by him personally. It was
said by one Of Mr.. Hearst's intimate friends"
DO you mind saying whether you made
speech before the Tammany executive commit
Zee, telling of your visit TO Mr.. Hearst?'
Oh, yes" said the Coroner. becoming happy
once more. It made the speech, all right. I do
not wish 70 make any secret Of seeing Mr..
Hearst. He is very strong IN my district. He
sent for ne 70 tell him about things, and took
pleasure in going TO see him"
District leaders who heard Mr.. hamburger
we're chag-ined last night when the story Of
Har5urgers speech leaked out They admitted
that the Coroner had told the executive commit
Tee tha- Hearst had said that he meant no harm
N saying hs re things on the stump
When Thomas T. Smith was asked about the
harburger speech he grew as red as a beet.
Then he laughed outright and backed away.
