 New York, April 29.-Mayor McClel- Ian intends to retire from any further attempt at political warfare and de- vote himself exclusively to the running of his office and the city departments from the City Hall This determina- ton was finally reached this morning, after a conference between Corporation Counsel Ellison and Big Tim and Lit tie Tim Sullivan. held in MT. Ellison's office.
 The conference lasted from 9:3O o'clock until shortly after Il. When Big Tim" came out, he told inquirers that formal statement of the mayors position would be issued by Mr. Elli- son, and that whatever Mir. Ellison said, he and Little Tim" would ap- prove.
 Hereafter, the mayor will appoint to city offices only men approved by Tam many, and he will remove no worthy officers whom Tammany wishes to be retained.
 MT. Elliston after the conference gave out a statement in which he said the mayor will be left free to appoint the highest class of men he can find for city offices but that he (Ellison) will advise against the appointment of men inimical to the democratic organization or it's leaders. Mr. Sullivan. he said, agreed that only efficient men should be reatlned in or appointed to city of- fees. The mayor will recognize the rghts of its lader to control the demo- cratic organization and will asck that the organization gim him it's support in his efforts to solve the great muni- cIpal problems which confront him. MT. Ellison said In that way 1t is hoped, he added. to eradicate the lines drawn between the organization and the ad- ministration,
 Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tamma- ny hall, said to-day that MT. Sullivan conferred with him before making the agreement. In reply to a question whether he is to remain ss leader MT. Murphy replied that he supposed he would remain until he was put out but but that was not part of the agree ment with the mayor,
 Mayor Mcclellan tonight issued a statement in which he confirmed the re- suits of the conference between Timo- thy D. Sullivan and Corporation Coun- sel William B. Ellison.
 In his statement the mayor says that this conference, as well as others, was held with his sanction, but that throughout 1t all he insisted that he be left entirely free to fill all offices with men of the highest class obtainable.
 T have made no deal,' he says, and I have authorized the making of no deal which alters my position in any way It Is, and shall be, my ambition to give to the city the best administra- tion that it is possible for me to give 1t, and factional politics will not be per- mitted to interfere with that course.
 q take back nothing that have said concerning the management of the democratic organization, and reiter- ate what I haid in appointing com missioner of elections, that I should like to have the support of the demo- cratic organization, but if cannot have the supper under conditions which fa- vor clean and efficient government, then I am content to do without 1t.
 If the elements that constitute Tam many Hall wish to harmonize on that plane, then I am for harmony. For political peace, which is so needful to my party in the city, the state and the nation, shall go as far forward as any man, but not one step backward"
