THREE OF STATE OFFICERS BALK

ALBANY, January 1.-THE five demo-
cratic senators and ten assembymen from
Kings county will defy the orders of State
Leader Murphy and vote against a recount
Of the ballots cast at the last mayoralty
election. Besides this three of the new
state officers, whom Murphy ordered to
consult him in the future, have revolted.
Senator McCarren, the master of the
Kings county machine, said yesterday when
asked about the Kings county delegation:
Good and sufficient reasons for the &C
ton of the members of the legislature from
my county will be given'
1t developed last night that Minority
Leader Grady has canvassed the Brooklyn
senators, and Jimmie Oliver. acting under
instructions from Boss Murphy. has polled
the Brooklyn members in the assembly
with the result that they found that Nc
Carren has absolute control of all his men.
McCarren went to New York last night
and it is understood will confer with the
mayor today regarding the plan Of action
to be followed in the matter of the re-
count bill
The republicans are proceeding with their
scheme of passing a recount bill regardless
of the row among the New York CITY demo-
Gratis. The republican plan is to pass the
bill within the next two weeks and pro-
coed with the recount at once. AS the
publicans have majority of thirteen in the
senate and fifty-four in the assembly the
program will be carried out.
State officials in Revolt.
The Charles F. Murphy leadership came
in for something like another jolt when
Controller Martin Gynn handed out to
Murphy, through "Packy' McCabe, the
local democratic boss, what amounts to a
declaration of independence of tle Murphy
and Corners combination. Glynn, it seems
has elected to run the controllers Office
without reference to the wishes of Murphy
and Corners.
The two heap big bosses, conducting their
state campaign along the opera bouffe
lines of the McCarren treason trial, at
tempted to dictate to Glynn in the matter
of appointments and the designation of
banks as state repositories. They sent
done "for the benefit of the party" but
Glynn, who used to be newspaper editor
couldn't see it that way and replied through
the same source that all suggestions must
bear the stamp of his local organization to
receive serious considera ton.
This means that for favors in the future
Murphy and Corners must look to "Packy''
McCabe, who was turned down by Murphy
as state chairman to make room for
"Fingy." McCabe is, of course, not OPP
posed to this PLAN His face wore a smile
that wouldn't come off today, while that
of Corners, who remained on guard as the
representative of Murphy was taciturn
and not as amable yesterday.
Top of Ticket Offered Glynn.
Glynn, who is the first of the democratic
state officials to rebel against the dctation
of the Murphy-Conners combine was
| suave and apparently Indifferent to both
the promises and threats of the new dy-
nasty. The promises took the form of
favorable consideration as the next demo-
cratic candidate for governor Glynn re-
piled that he did not think anybody had
been authorized by the democratic party
threat covertly yelled, was that Glynn
might be read out of the party la Nc
Carren.
State Engineer Skeen, who will have a.
voice in letting some fat contracts for canal
work pretty soon, is also said to be showing
signs of revolt. Corners saw him yester-
day and the interview is said not to have
been satisfactory to the state chairman.
Lieut.. Gov. CHAMBER who merited the dis
pleasure of Tammany in a speech in the
wigwam during the campaign, in which he
told the followers of Murphy exactly what
he thought of them, is causing Murphy and
Corners some anxiety by his independence
# machine rule.
The lieutenant governor is sticking pretty
close to his official duties and has so far ig-
nored both Murphy and Corners But if
Corners appreciates the situation he gave
no sign yesterday. A democratic senator ex-
pressed a desire to him to have he lieu
tenant governor and Minority Leader Grady
do something.
"All right said Corners "Ill tell Chan
Ter and Grady to do it." Corners also in
formed the senator that 'all legislative
matters will be passed on by Murphy and
me-"
