BoURKE COCHRAN DROPPED.
Read Out of Tammany Hall Because
He Is Not a Democrat

NEW YORK, March 17-Charles F..
Murphy at Tammany Hall has declared
! that Bourke Cochran was dropped from
all committees in the organization and
practically read out of the party because
he is not democrat. Most people be-
lieve Cochran was driven out because he
succeeded in having his father-in-law.
| Gen. Henry c. Ide. appointed receiver of
the Knickerbocker Trust Company in
preference to a Tammany man selected
by Murphy.
There is no truth in that story" Mr..
Murphy said
Then why was he left off the COM
mittees?" Mr.. Murphy was asked
Because Tammany Hall is a demo-
| cratic organization" the boss answered
and puts none but democrats on it's COM
| mittees That Is the only reason why
| Cochran was dropped
When did Cochran cease to be a demo-
| crat?''
MY statement speaks for itself. 1 will
| not add to it
! Mr.. Cochran represents Boss Murphy s
| home district in Congress.
Mr.. Cochran was quick to retort. In
| statement issued last night regarding
this utterance by Mr.. Murphy he said: 1T
| is beyond my intellectually. 1t Is we'll
| known that ! have written all the defini-
| tions of Democracy accepted and ap-
proved by Mr.. Murphy during the last
| four years. Which of them does he now

standing the significance of expressions
which he has applauded publicly 1t Is all

| This is the second time that Mr. Cock
