DUN:
In making the selections Of the two
Magistrates for assignment to Special
Sessions the Mayor has been guided by

Richard Croker is given the credit
for the ending Of the long standing feud
between Murphy and Mcclellan. II Is
understood that the suave diplomat,
Daniel F. Cohalan conducted the active

political information current, is to aid
Tammany Hall TO every length in his
power compatible with the dignity Of
his position during the forthcoming
municipal campaign. At the end of his
term he Is 10 retire for a long rest and
