New York POLITICS.
New York, Nov. 2-That Richard
Crokers population oil Hearst. first in
cabl gram to Senator McCsrreu con-
graduating the latter on the stind he has
taken towards the democratic and indie.
pendence league candidate and later 10
an extended interview given yesterday
10 the Dublin Freeman's Journal, which
was cabled, in which Croker expressed
establishment and disgust at the so.called
Hearst Murphy deal, have hurt Hearst
greatly in this city was conceded every
where today except at Hearst beadquar-
iers. 1t is claimed Hearst will lose thous-
ands of votes as the result of Cookers
statement. Regularity has been the
basic prin iples of Tammany Hall since
its inception, and Croker was the chief
apostle of the creed. Since he has open
ly abandoned the principle many Tam
many men feel no longer bound to stand
by Hearst simply because he is the dem
ocratic nominee. The old guard Of Tam
many stands by Croker in preference to
Murphy and the former chiefiain's re-
pudialiou of Hearst, it is predicted, will
be the signal for many Of Cookers friends
to vote against Murphy's csudidste. So,
many of them who will do 50 have a
double purpose. They want to see Muir
phy deposed as leader of Tsmmany Hall,
and they think an overwhelming defeat
for Hearst will pave the way for this
An attack on Croker seems TO be the
method 10 which the Tammany men will
resort Evidences of this are offered ia
statement already made by John I.
Oakley, who charges, according to an
interview printed in a local paper, that
Croker is animated By desire to pro-
tect financial investments 10 attacking
Hearst Hearst himself ignores the
Croker incident and his newspapers make
40 reference to IT, Edtorially, the
Evening Journal devOtes itself today to
another attack on Secretary of State
Root as the principal contribution to the
campaign activity. The speech delivered
at Utica last night by Mr.. Root is made
the basis OF The attack. Root, the Even
ing Journal asserts, endeavored to earn
Ryan money in delivering his Utica ad-
dress by attacking Ryan's enemy, Dir.
Hearst.
