give Murphy n majority OF the executive
committee and cave him ps leader OF the
organization. Opposed to him in the
commbttes are the eight members Supposed
to he controlled by the Sullivans and the
eight who will stand by the Mayor. When
seen at tho Anawanda Club Murphy seemed
tobe'in very good spirits.
The. New York county delegation to Buff
falo remains intact" said he. "and will go
90 Buffalo 10 vote under the unit rule. The
results Of the prim aries are just what ex-
pe0rsd etth one or two exceptions"
Con oe.ninS the CONTEXT bet ween Magic
and CoWan Mr.. Murphy said;
Had the voters been per.nittaitO register
their viii without interference, I an sure
that eowan would have been elsctsd |
got a report that the billot boxes were
stuffed and that there we're no election in
spertors present. / think the whole matter
yilrbe referpd TO the legal committee OF
'Tammany HCll and the matter decided upol
tlf&iF Recommendation -
Whilo Mayor Mcclellan would make no
statement whatever Saboub the result or nc
Tammany primaries, his friends in the
organization took the attitude that the out
come OF the days battle was a very material
strengthening Of the Mayors position within
the Organization.
II was further declared in behalf Of the
Mayor that a consequent result Of the pri-
Inaries was a decided check to whatever
hopes Hearst nNy have had OF making
further threads upon Tamnany with refer
enoe to getting the Enforcement Of the or
ganizatiOn for tho ~Governorship.
Neither the Mayor nor any of his close
advisers had anything to say regarding
the control Of the county or executive COM
r~nittees, holding that in 40 complicated a
case nobody could speak accurately In the
absence Of a completed table of results.
A. - = \. -. 4
The Mayors friends are particularly
pleased at the victories OF Hayes over
MCCapl and Of Easle over Cowan. Both Of
the losers ran on a practically pure Hearst
> platform. Cowan went through his dis
trict. declaring openly that a vote for him
was a vote for Hearst. The battle against
bothMcCaul and Cowan was a Hearst versus
anti-Hearst battle and these two Hearstites
are tonight the worst beaten men in New
York"
Secretary Of Tammany Hall Thomas +.
Smith said at midnight last night that Mr..
Murphy could concede only one contested
district to the Mcclellan forces, the Nine
tenth, in which the Mcclellan candidates,
Ahearn and Ryan, beat the Murphy repre-
sentatives, Hahn and Reilly.
= much evidence Of fraud has been dis
covered in the Nagle-Cowsn contest and in
the Williams Donahue fight that the legal
OF Tammany hall undoubtedly
will refuEe TO receive the names OF Nagle
and Williams. Thereupon, | am sure, the
executive committee will declare that no
election has been held in these districts and
the committee will name organization men
in place OF Nagle and Williams"
Percival F.. Nagle defeated John F. Cowan
in the Thirtieth, where there was a bitter
n9ht, bv1about 2:7s7 votes. Maggie Is a
Mcclellan man. The vote was: Nagle, 3.574;
Cowan. 7s7. After Cowan heard the vote he
announced that the election had been
stolen, that he would make charges to
the District ATTORNEY appeal TO the Supreme
Court and end a contesting delegation to
the convention. Cowan insisted that not
10 per cent. OF the real vote in the district
was cast.
On the north side Of the district Wallace
Fraser, a .Cowan man, won over Matthew
Dunn, who was Nagle's representative, by
$40 votes,

four cornered fight, James. Ahean McClel-
LAM got 7SS votes and won. James +. Riley,

votes, and Charles Hahn. the other Murphy

the CommissionershiP was being used for
to be heard from the vote stood: William f,
Morris, 1,O41; Joseph |. Berry, 1882; Albert
Lifbenau. $50. Berry conceded his defeat
when these figures were known and blamed
il on the combination formed by Morris
