DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
If They Could Achieve Harmony
and Send Radicals to the Rear.

NEW YORK, November 14.-Morgan J.
O'Rrien. who sought in the early part of
the summer to bring Mayor Mcclellan
and Charles F. Murphy together. called
at the mayors Office yesterday. He ex-
piained that his visit was a personal one
and could not be construed as an indica-
ton that there was to be Il renewal OF
peace negotiations between the mayor and
Mr.. Murphy.
so far as I know he said, matters
between the mayor and Mr.. Murphy have
undergone no change. The mayor is de-
voting himself to running the administra-
ton and Mr.. Murphy is running things at
Tammany Hall, and from what l hear
there is not likely to be any change in
that situation.
But 1t would undoubtedly be good
thing if complete harmony could he
brought about in the democratic party of
this city and between the factions in
other states. With such harmony I am
have a good chance of electing next year
a cons ervative democrat for President
Judge O'Bren went on to say that the
present financial troubles were due to
President Roosevelt's policies and that he
thought the republicans would turn next
year to some conservative such as Gov.
Hughes.
He thought the democrats would not
nominate a radical, but would see better
chance of victory with men of the type OF
ex-Gov. Francis of Missouri, Gov. Swan
son of Virginia and Gov. Johnson of Min
neSOtd.

after o'clock at the home of his brother,
Mr.. Edward D. Selby Of Reistertown road,
Reistertown, by cutting his throat from
ar to ear with a carving knife. Despond-
ency because Of illness is said to have
been the cause for the deed. Shortly after
noon, after eating hearty dinner. he was
talking to his brothers wife about SOM
iowers. He was seen no more after that
until Mrs. Selby, his sisterin-law, upon
hearing two heavy knocks on the second
floor, made an investigation. She called to
him several times. and fearing he had
met with some mishap went upstairs and
discovered Mr.. Selby lying in pool of
blood which covered the floor. with his
nat and coat off. and his throat cut from
ar to ear. She almost collapsed at the
sight, but managed to telephone for DR..
James Gore of Reisterstown, who arrived
shortly afterward. The man was still liv-
ing. but as his windpipe was partially sew
cred no statement could be secured from
him. The deceased was well known
throughout the state, and about five
months ago went to live with his brother,
who is an undertaken.
