Before the Police Arrive.
/ New York, Sept 2l-CharIes f. Murphy
spoke by the book when be stated on
Monday that the effort on the part Of
Mayor 4lcCIeIlan's friends TO throw out
/ about sixteen of the regular Tammany
candidates for the district leadership
would turn out % be a joke
Only two Mcclellan men carried their
I districts in ro-day's primary. These were
/ Fire Commissioner Francis J. Lautry of
the Sixteenth district, and Maurice J.
/ Featherson. Of the Twentieth district.
There was never any doubt as to the re-
suit in these TWO districts, Lanuy and
] Featherson have built up an organization
in each OF their districts which makes
/ them impregnaDle and despite the per-
sonH Influence tha, Murphy brought to
/ bear against the Two leaders, they easily
/ retained the control of their districts
All the other candidates who were en-
gagged in contests in the interests Of the
I Mcclellan faction against the organiza-
/ tiou candidates were beaten by large
maj5ru-s in the districts where there
I were fights
Devery Not 80 Potent
/ Peter j. Garv+y. who had Big Bill"
! Devery behind him and was supposed 10
/ have q chance in the Seventh district ".
/ A Lar3ey, Of the Fourteenth. Ike Hop
4 rar, in the Thiryy-frs-. and John r.
1 Shauehnessy in the Tweuty-frsr. who
were running az Mcclellan candidates.
/ and were supposed by their friends 10
. have fair chances Of winning were all
defeated
The result Of the election leaves the
/ |NcCIelLanites with only two district rd-
ers-Lauuy and Fearharsau-a1d The
lihood thar even these two VIII ua

ecutiye committee IS now stronger
ever, has MADE no secret OF the fact
