The JOY of the Tammany men was turn
ed to apprehension soon after the cleo
ton of Ahearn by the rumor that Gov

eight hours, and that the work of elect

over again.

tanned. Mayor Mcclellan, as soon as
Ahearn was nominated, ruled that his

the oath of office to Ahearn. the mayor
told him he did so without passing on his
eligibility for reelection.

he was once more at his desk, issued a
statement charging that because he would
not desert Charles F. Murphy Mayor Nc
