END OF CONTEST FOR
TAMMANY CONTROL
Mcclellan to Fill City Offices
With Free Hand
MURPHY STILL AT The HEAD
Harmony Reached BY Agreement That
Appointments Will Not Be lnimical
to Leaders of the organi-
cation.

New York, April 29.-An end to the con-
test for control of Tammany hall be-
tween Mayor Mcclellan and Charles F.
, Murphy was announced today following
conference between Timothy d. Sullivan
and Corporation Counsel William B. Ell
| lison, the latter of whom represented the
mayor. Mr.. Ellison, after the conference,
gave out statement in which he said
the mayor Will be left free to appoint the
highest class of men he could find for
city offices, but that he (Ellison), will
advise against the appointment of men
inimical to the democratic organization or
its leaders.
MI Sullivan, he said, agreed that eigh-
teen efficient men should be retained in
or appointed to city offices. The mayor
Will recognize the right of its leaders to
control the democratic organization and
will ask the democratic organization to
give him its support in efforts to solve
the great municipal problems which con-
front him, Mr.. Ellison said
In that way it was hoped, he said, to
eradicate the lines drawn between the or
ganlzation and the administration.
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany
hall, said today that Mr.. Sullivan con-
ferrod with him before making the agree
ment. In reply to a question whether he
is to remain as leader, Mr.. Murphy re-
piled that he supposed he would remain
until he was put out, but that was not
part of the agreement with the mayor.
Mayor Mcclellan tonight discussed his
relations with Tammany as follows:
Il have made no deal and l have au-
thorized the making of no deal which al
tiers my position in any way. 1t is and
shall be my ambition to give to the city
the best administration that Is possible
for me to give and factional politics will
not be permitted to interfere with that
course.
IL take back nothing l have said con-
corning the management of the demo-
cratic organization. If the elements that
constitute Tammany hall wish to har-
monte on that plane, the time for har-
mony is now. For political peace which
is beneficial to my party In the city, state
and the nation, | shall go as far forward
as any man, but not one step backward"
