TAMMANY HAS CHILLS.
1T7RPHY SEES VAR AHEAD
Sachems BeLeuc Hearst Is Preparing
for Fight This Fall.

zE-i,lian, r. Fearst's revamped declaration Of
,,-,r AGAINST the old parties sent a cold chill
through Tammany Hall yesterday. His Jeffer-
,on Dav dinner speech at the Hotel Savoy on
SATURDAY night IS accepted by Charles F. Muir
Dbv as a declaration Of hostility against the
Tsmulan;- organization in its present condition.
A a result Of Mr. Hearst's attitude toward
the Tammany machine. the Tammany sachems
,o-rigft win discuss the advisability of with
arazving support Of the Recount bill at Albany
Mr. Hearst's lieutenants all along the line
have received instructions 10 keep things ship
shape in their district organizations for fight
next fall for all local offices. Mr.. Hearst is de-
.errnined 10 make showing in this city next
fall that viii convince the upstate Democrats
chat he Is dominant in the state committee
Fye is going 10 nominate candidates in every
Assembly and alderman.c district and for every
mice that is 20 be filled next fan. While this
IS supposed to be an off year IN politics /; is
fhe kind Of year that suits the Hearst men
Tammany is short of funds, and the Repub-
ucans are not enthusiastic. The Hearst ma
chine has plenty Of money and Mr.. Hearst is
determined to make a showing AT the polls that
viii be an object lesson TO the Democrats
throughout the country. He is particularly anx-
ions 10 recoup the prestige lost by TIE defeat of
prpne in Chicago. and the present plan is 10
name an independent ticket and avoid alliances
with Tammany Hall.
While there is neither 2 Mayor nor a Governor
n be elected next fall there are enough other Of
eces 10 III to afford a test Of strength at the
polls
County tickets will be elected in all four
counties Of the city. In New York County there
viii be a County Clerk Sheriff and Register. Also
IN this county there win have 10 be elected 2
successor TO Recorder McAvoy. who was ap-
pointed by the Board Of Aldermen TO fill the
vacancy caused by the promotion Of Recorder
Cof TO the Supreme Court bench. A successor
viii also have 10 be elected 10 Justice Bruce.
II Justice Leventritt should resign, as seems
ilrohsble there viii be TWO vacant places on the
bench besides the recordership. Three city court
justices will be elected this fan TO succeed JUS
ices Mccarthy. O'Dwyer and Wadhams, and
three or four municipal court justices.
In Kings County. or rather in the I'd Judicial
District. two Supreme Court justices To succeed
Justices Dixie and Fawcett. win be elected. as
well as a District Attorney. Register, County
Clerk Sheriff and two coroners.
There are county offices 10 be filed also in
Queens and Richmond. Politicians know per-
fectly wei that these county offices are rich
with patronage. There viii he stiff battle for
the places. Murphy's coalition with Hearst last
wear was made at an exigency in his career as
leader He wanted to punish Mcclellan and
elect his local ticket he elected his local ticket
but Mcclellan was not dslodged from the City
Hall as he would have been if Hearst had been
chosen Governor. Murphy's friends have made
him believe thar he IS a great political general
ana that he entirely outwitted Hearst Mr.
Hearst is going 10 try 10 show him next fan
that the Murphy machine with Hearst against
Fl is too weak To elect its county ticket.
Mr Murphy is expecting a fusillade any day
from the Hearst papers. The Tammany chief
tain has accepted invitation 10 tie Bryan
dinner iu Brooklyn Tomorrow night. Doubtless
the Hearst men viii make the most Of his pres
fnce There
