Charles +. Murphy called the Tammany
Hall executive committee together yester-
day and told them that. however much
bitterness some Of them might feel TOWARD
Mr.. Hearst because the Independence
League had put up candidates against
them in their districts. it was their duty
not to let any local disagreements interfere
VITA efforts to secure the success Of the
Stat e ticket. He did not urge them to
support the Hearst local candidates against
their own candidates in the districts, but
allowed them to understand that they
might try to elect their men over Hearst's
men so long as they refrained from knitting
the State ticket.
One Of the speakers was ID. F.. Cohalan,
WIN has b een representing Tammany Hall
in the contests before the Board OF Elections.
Mr.. Cohalan is said to have told the COM
mittee that Mr.. Hearst and his managers
had not really wished to put any loca ran
didates in the field against the Tammany
men, but that they had been forced 70 give
way because Of the threats made by the
leagues district leaders. Mr.. Cohalan also
said that little harm had been done, after all,
to the Tammany organization, because the
greater number Of the Independence League
candidates had been thrown on by the
Board of Elections.
The meeting as a body gave its solemn
assurance that every Tammany district
leader would uSe every cnor To get ont as
large a vote as possible for Hearst.
The address made yesterday to the Tam
many executive was the hrst
attempt Mr.. Murphy has ever made in the
way OF a formal speech TO the COMMITTEES.
He spoke at considerable length. but the
only part of h he said that he would
permit to be made public was this.
The full ticket must be Loyalty supported
in every district. We arc almost upon the
eve of election day and the time intervening
should and must he devoted to an earnest
effort to produce results in your districts.
No effort nor energy which you can com
mand must be spared. Now is the time to
put your shoulders TO the wheel in order
that each and all of you shall contribute
tow ard the piling up OF the biggest vote
for the Democratic ticket in the history OF
our organization. | am absolutely conf
dent that cur ticket will win, but our victory
will be all the greater if Tammany Hall
and its members Unite in putting forth
their very best efforts from now until cleo
ton day"
Most of Mr.. Murphy's address was de-
voted to explaining that Tammany' was
pledged to Hearst and must keep it's pledge
or lose its prestige.
W. Bourke Cochran also spoke.
After the meeting Mr.. Murphy issued
this statement: d.
