FUSION TO BEAT MURPHY
AND HEARST MAY
COMBINE ON CITY TICKET.
Of Two Bartletts by Both
State Committees Expected on Fri
day-Max Ihmsen for Sheriff.

NEW YORK, October 3-Charles F.
Murphy, leader Of Tammany, didn't know
last night whether he was afoOt or horse
back on his local ticket for assemblymen,
aldermen, Judges of the general sessions
and judges Of the city court He con-
ferred all day at Tammany and elsewhere
with Tammany men and others. Mr.. Muir
ply was keenly interested in reports that
the republican county organization would
unite with the Hearst Independence League
of the county in nominating a fusion ticket
for the foregoing places and also for sheriff
The Parsons people connected with the re-
publican county organization remained alb
solutely silent on that subject and the
Hearst people were equally dumb. They
did say, however. that Macmillan Ihmsen.
Mr.. Hearst's political representative in his
presidential campaign Of 1904 and his gu
bernatorial campaign Of 1905. would make
fusion ticket in which the republicans
might join.
Murphy Has His Troubles.
Mr.. Murphy has been beset by friends Of
ex-senator Tom Foley and by the friends
of many other Tammany men for the place
of sheriff. There have been also many de-
mands by the friends OF candidates for the
three places on the general sessions bench
Murphy was pulled and hauled a hundred
ways on these matters yesterday, but he
wouldn't talk about them either to the
friends of the candidates or to the candi-
dates themselves. because he was much
disturbed over the evidences of an inten-
ton of the republicans and the Hearstites
to get together on a local ticket covering all
the places involved.
Mr.. Murphy's friends in Tammany finally
said last night that they did not believe
that President Parsons friends in the re-
publican county organization would per-
NIT him to make any proposed combina-
Mr.. Murphy and his friends are mistaken,
for the reason that there are, just as many
young republican lawyers who would take
places on Mr.. Hearst's ticket as there are
young lawyers with Tammany affiliations
who desire nominations for assemblyman,
alderman, sessions Judge or city court
Judge. Mr. Murphy was told by his friends
that he wasn't quite a practical politician
when he even tried to believe that the re-
publicans and the Hearsttes could not get
together on a local ticket: and. furthermore
that II they did get together it meant his
cwn political humiliation. In reply he
told these Tammany advisers that they had
been ed into a blue funk. Mr.. Murphy
was also credited with saying to his friends
that as tine republicans couldn't get to-
be three local tickets in the field. There
Upon Mr.. Murphy's friends left him and
told outsiders that In such an event the
Murphy ticket would be last in the race.

Helping the Associations.

Mr.. Quigg referred particularly in this to
the West Side Association.
Did the East Side Association turn out
in large numbers?" asked Mr.. WINS.
"Splendidly. they both did very WELL"
Quigg replied with never a smile.
Mr.. Ivins> wanted to know II he didn't
have an association in the Bronx.
NO" replied the witness: there were so
many associations in the Bronx, and they
were all so willing to attend anywhere.

they considered the interests Of the Bronx,
that there never was much trouble to get
them around.
Did you ever have to accelerate them?"
Yes"
DO these checks (holding up a batch)

Bronx?'
II don't think SO. up to this point But
you go right along. you'll find them"
A check for $1,000 to James l.. wells OF

that that was IAN acceleratiOn check. 1t

and argue in some matter" There were
several other retainer fees paid to Mr.
Wells
On March Is, 1904. there was a payment
of 500 to John NJ. Parsons, who Is 'promi-
nently identified with labor interests" On
March 80 OF the same year there was an
other payment for 500. The latter repre-
scented a retainer for appearing at Albany.

WINS, 1.-The laborer was worthy OF his

MADE PUBLIC SENTIMENT
QUIGG TELLS HOW HE SPENT
METRoPoLITAN's $4,000.
Organized East and West Side Asso-
Citations and Accelerated" Them
With Checks.

NEW YORK, October 3.-Lemuel Ely
Quigg. appearing as a witness before the
public service commission again yesterday,
told how he had waged his campaign from
1903 to 1905 on behalf of the Metropolitan
street railway interests for the "construc-
ton" OF public opinion which would favor
the building of new subways under the Met
ropolitans auspices This campaign, to-
Eether with opposition which Mr.. Qugg
ganized against Belmont projects looking
toward the development of the marlborough
system. cost about $4,000. The campaign
continued to within a short time of the an
nOuncement of the marlborough etropoli-
tan merger.
"Acceleration."
Mr.. Quigg explained how he had "accel-
Grated" the interest of the people on the
upper East and West sides by having them
organized into civic rapid transit associa-
tons; how he had re tained lawyers who ap-
peared before the old rapid transit commits
sion as representing the associations and
how when II was necessary he was able to
get a labor uprising on the lower East
Side for meager $500
Among the lawyers who appeared in this
way and who were really paid by the Met
ropoltan Securities Company were ex-Jus-
tice William n. Cohen. who represented the
West Side Rapid Transit Association. and
W. n. h. OlcOtt of the old firm of Black,
Olcott. Gruber g. Bonynge, who appeared for
the East Side Association. Each had re-
tainer of 81 CO. but there We're additional
payments of Mr.. Olcotts firm amounting to
more than $4,000.
Mr. Quigg said that he was interested in
preventing these projects among others:
The building of a subway moving sidewalk
through 34th street. the construction of the
Belmont tunnel, the construction of an ele-
waited structure connecting the two bridges,
the third tracking OF the I'd and Sd avenue
lines and the McAdoo tunnel project. Mr..
Qutgg was in favor of the extension of the
subway system under the Metropolitan
control down sth avenue from AID street
and up Lexington avenue.
Subway Special Account.
Mr.. Quigg. before he would give any in
formation in regard to the payments which
he had made under this subway special
account" insisted that the commission
should assume all responsibility for the
spreading of names on the record. Mr..
WINS cheerfully accepted the responsibility.
The East Side Association was organized
by David Steckler a lawyer in Quggs en-
ploy Mr. Steckler retained William N.
Cohen at Mr.. Quggs suggestion and later
had got the money from Quigg. Mr.. Quigg
personally engaged Mr.. Olcott and paid
him. William p. Rooney had charge of the
organization of the civic association on the
West Side. Payments by Quigg to Steckler
and Rooney were in sums from $1UO up &c
Il 900 every week or so for the expenses OF
the organizations. Mr. Quigg said that the
managers succeeded in bringing into the as
oosaations o good many persons whose In

Committees to Meet Tomorrow.

The disturbance over this local situation
rather subordinated for the moment the
interest in the outcome as to the examina-
tions for two associate judges of the court
of appeals. Yet there were new reports
about that matter. One came directly from
Mr.. Corners and Mr.. Murphy and was in
effect that at the democratic state commit
tee meeting on Monday the two Bartletts,
Willard and coward T., would have been
nominated forthwith II the democrats could
have been assured that the republican state
committee at its meeting on Friday would
indorse the nominations For lack OF this
assurance the democratic state committee
was adjourned until o'clock Friday after
noon. Tic republican state committee Is

that they were familiar with the situation

right that some Of Mr.. Murphy's most
intimate friends in Tammany are very

INJURY TO THE STATE
PRESIDING ELDER DANFORD
SAYS MANY OF THE
REPORTS
REGARDING SUFFERING In THE
STATE ARE EXAGGERATED
AND HARMFUL TO STATE.

Il want to say that great many OF
the stories told Of suffering, famine
and coal shortage in the state are ex-
aggerated and are an injury to the
good name Of North Dakota, said
Presiding Elder S. "a. Danford of the
Methodist church Mr.. Danford had
just returned from an extended trip.
covering practically the entire south
ern half of the state and is wen ac-
ruainted with actual conditions.
Moreover, he has resided in the state
more than a quarter Of a century and
is familiar with weather conditions in
the state during that time.
Since have been in North Dakota
I have seen at least dozen winters
fully as severe as this season. Z CON
tinued Mr.. Danford. = have travelled
quite extensively over the southern
part of the state, and / have yet to
find a single case Of actual suffering
or case where people suffered from
want of fuel or food i don't say that
y found no shortage of fuel or food,
but in no case was there any suffering.
There was some fuel and some food.
found no case of starving and freez-
ing. AS for the snow and cold, they
are bad, Of course, but conditions have
been much worse. There has not been.
q real blizzard in the state this winter,
nothing like the storms of 1888, when
scores were frozen to death, when the
air was so full of snow, fine as pow
der, that one could not see his hand
two feet in front of his face, a storm
that continued without intermission
for thirty-six hours. We have, as /
said, had no billiards this winter.
The idea Of anyone reporting that
there are places in the state where
the snow is seventy-fVe feet deep on
the level! It's ridiculous, and it hurts
the state to have such stories circulat-
ed. The people of the east should be
told the truth, not exaggerations.
