 New York, Oct 1S-The most start ling development in the present polit- ical campaign in that State came today. when Charles F.

Mur- phy with a subpoena to appear before the grand jury in John Doe proceed ings and testify as to his charges.
 The subpoena was issued by District Attorney Jerome. after a conference with Judge Otto A. Rosalsky. of the Court of General Sessions. who. MT. Murphy int!mated. had given up money for the endorsement of the League.
 In his statement MT. Murphy charg- ed that certain Indepencence League managers had demanded money for the withdrawal of their candidates in Con- gressional. Senatorial and Assembly districts where a third ticket has been put In the field.
 He added. however. that William R. Hearst the Independence Leagues
 
 lutely nothing of what was going on in this connection.
 The Independence League headquar- ters tonight made positive denial of MT. Murphy's charges. adding. that If any one connected with the organiza- tion had attempted to hold up" cand1- dates they would be glad to know of it.
 Charles F. Murphy. leader of Tam EJo11 n p n or1,iou charged that the managers of the In- dependence League at the Gilsey House. are holding up candidates for cash The Independence League head quarters are at the Gilsey House.

 MT. Murphy said that the nonina- tions made by the Tammany Hall in this city would be insisted upon re- gardless of any action taken by the In- dependence League.
 There Is a disposition on the part of the Hearst managers not to with draw the name of Judge Rosalsky. What do you think of ity' MT. Murphy was asked.
 q think that some ono got some of his money" the Tammany leader re- piled.
 Judge Rosalsky was nominated for the Court of General Sessions by the Republicans and his candidacy was en- dorsed by the Independence League.
 Mir Murphy said that he desired to say that MT. Hearst had absolutely no knowledge of what was going on in this connection.
 "It is a fact" said Murphy, that many of our candidates for Congress have been approached by representa- tives of the Independence League. and money has been demanded of them.
 Refused to Give Up.
 Our men refused to give up and 1t was only then that the League put up opposition candidates. The men who demanded money were nos ordinary i'm dividuals belonging to sne League, but representatives of that organization. If we had paid what they asked there
