his city tonight issued the follow
lg statement:
"Crocker's statement that | asked
i'm to come home and be the leader
4 Tammany is ridiculous. | drove
i'm off from Tammany and drove his
:e trust mayor out of office. / have
objections to Croker as a private
tizen or as an exile and ! have no
nterest in the internal management
Tammany. He is absolutely the
yorst leader Tammany has had and
is influence has always been exerted-
behalf of corporation-ridden candi-
ates. AS Democrat | would also
bject to him. as his local leadership
as always been disastrous to the
arty as well as discreditable."
ROME, Nov. 20.-The city contin-
es on the verge of panic from the
esult of the bomb explosion in St
'eters Sunday. and the developments
oday which go to prove that the
omb was surely intended to kill the
oily father. The people regard the
xploslon as terrible challenge from
he anarchists and are fearful that
he outrage will be repeated with IA
al results. The pope remains calm
nd composed, but today the most
laborate plans are being carried out
o secure his person and security. He
eceived this morning two threaten
ing letters.
