New York, December 2S.-Charles
II. Murphy has set all the district
leaders guessing as to what will be
done Tuesday night when the annual
reorganization of Tammany Hall is to
take place in preparation for what is
admitted will be one OF the most
critical periods in the halls hi tory.
Many rumors were anoat today as to
what Boss Murphy has on the s. ate
for Tuesday night, but no one was
able to state definitely what would be
done.
One OF the matters, II is understood,
is resolution repudiating the admin
istration Of Mayor Mcclellan. This
has been under advisement for six
weeks and has created much differ
ence OF opinion among the Tammany
leaders. Mr.. Murphy and his most
intimate advisers are convinced that
the best politics is TO 'get from un-

istration Is concerned, and avoid be.

The greetings of the bureau of

The American delegates have indi-
Gated that they have no wish to hold

in danger of being defeated In the city
election next fall. This would mean
that they would lose control of the
city for four years to come. Such a
defeat, the leaders admit, might re-
suit in giving Republicans control OF
New York.
That it would result in change
in leadership of Tammany Hall is
regarded as a foregone conclusion.
Mr.. Murphy realizes that his own
political existence is at stake in the
coming campaign, and this is one of
the reasons why the leaders are ex-
pecting him to make some important
move. They expect him to hold out
the olive branch to independent DEM
ccrats. Tamman men are busy also
guessing what Mayor Mcclellan will
do in the way Of shaking up his Of
fetal family next week. Many reports
are still current about this. 1t was
