CALL CONFERENCE

their action, Feeling in my part Of the
State 10 most bitter against them and no
opportunity will be lost to show it,
Going to bolt?'
"No, I'm regular" replied Rattigan,
but there are other ways Of getting salts
faction, and they won't I've overlooked
when the time comes,
That the Democratic situation il the
State Ia in a dreadful muddle all seem 10
think. not only the friends Of Murphy and
COnners, but their factional adversaries.
Senator McCarren had an hours talk with
Mayor Mcclellan yesterday. The Mayor
continued to decline TO discuss the situa-
ton in his party. McCarren said he dropped
in for his usual weekly visit, and added:
Speaking OF the fight against Murphy and
Conneu. it il now principally the fight Of
the upstate Democrats. The fight which
has been begun against Murphy and Con-
ners must be left TO the up-Staters because
they have power which they can WELD TO
advantage. so far az | am concerned
myself | intend to push alon : the fight
If the Kings county Democratic organi-
zatiOn stands by MCCarren the Bureau OF
Elections cannot take from McCarren the
primary inspectors for next September
These organizations act through their
chairmen, and McCarren believes that the
Kings county organization will stand by
him to the last ditch. But under the rule
of the convention as determined by Murphy
and Corners even should McCarren win at
the primaries next September in selecting
delegates to the State convention the State
committeeman Murp y and Corners have
rent into Kings county can put any dele
gates they choose on the temporary roll.
This will be one Of the points made at the
Utica conference and the Syracuse con-
vention. In the old days Hill and Hugh
Mclaughlin always had an understanding
so that Kings county and the upstate
Democrats should not be swamped by
Tammany.
Several curious facts about the Carnegie
Hall convention can out last night, the
most curious being the fact that both Mr..
Murphy and Mr.. Corners promised Thomas
I. Carmody Of Penn Yam, temporary and
! permanent chairman Of the convention,
the nomination for Attoney-General next
| fall. just how Patrick L. McCabe came to
be saved from the wrath Of Murphy and
Corners was also diyulgsd. He was saved
| by Comptroller Martin H.. Glynn OF Albany.
IL was the determination to turn out Nc
! Cabe's delegates and smash him as a State
committeeman. Comptroller Glynn came
10 New York city and was here during the
| convention time. He served notice Oh the
Murphy Corners people that they must not
turn out McCabe's delegates or set him aside
"a state committeeman for the Twenty
eighth Senate district. The Murphy-Con-
ners combination needed the Comptroller,
for the Comptroller mex 10 the Governor
il the most powerful State ohicer. Yet,
the McCabe delegates were not thwarted
from voting to turn out McCarren's dele
gates,
Charles F. Murphy is apparently q little
dlsturbed over the criticism, and 1t is his
intention 70 issue a statement within the
next few days describing the reasons which
led him TO put McCanen out of the State
convention and Of his support of Corners
in making up the new State committee by
q system which killed the old home rule
style Of selecting members Of that body
He proiessed yesterday to have no interest
in the conference which ia to he held In
Utica.
Its a matter that doesn't concern me
he said. Whatever was done by the con
vention was done by a majority vote Of thaI
convention, as the records show
The attention Of Mr.. Murphy was drawn
TO the report that Conrad Hasenfug, ono
OF the Brooklyn leaders who was allowed
10 keep his seat in the convention and who
has been named as a member Of the "re.
construction committee Of the State body
had announced that he had given to Senator
McCarren a PROXY to represent him on the
State committee.
'Isupposs.' responded MFR. Murphy, tina
under such a proxy Senator McCarrer
would be entitled 10 attend the meetings o.
the State committee, but Hasennug oanno'
delegate his pace on the committee o.
twelve which has been appointed TO reor'
Ranize the Democratic party in Brooklyn
to McCarren. and Hasenfug and McCarrar
know that"
