JOBLESS TAMMANY
SOFT SNAPS LOST.
District Leaders and Others
WhO Viii Haze to York.

Thirteen Tammany district leaders will
lose city jobs on January 1. The only
chance OF their continuing on the city pay
roll is the possibility that the new heads OF
departments appointed by the Mayor w.li
find places for them in the departments. In
order 10 do so, however other Tammany
men would be displaced. and the salaries
would not be large, on the average as
these district leaders are receiving at pres
ent The leaders and the offices they VIII
lose are follows:
Second District-Thomas F. Foley, Sheriff
Fourth District-John F. Ahearn' Borough
President
Seventh. District-Frank J. Goodwin. Su-
perintendcnt OF Sewers.
Ninth District-Peter J. Dooling, county
Clerk
Tenth District-Julius Harburger. coro-
Thirteenth District-John F. Curry. Dep
Fourteenth District-Michael Cruise. Dep
uty Sheriff.
Fifteenth District-James ], Hagan. Dep
uty Commissioner of Public Works.
Twenty-second District-William Sinnott,
Deputy Register.

Thirty-fourth District-Arthur H. Muir
ply. alderman
Fire Commissioner Hayes. Tammany
leader Of the 2sth District, will also lose
his fob on Januery l, unless he is reap
pointed.
Nearly every one of these district leaders
IL in comfortable financial circumstances.
and the loss OF city Job for a year or two
will not embarrass him. Seven district
leaders ran for Office last Tuesday. and two
OF the seven were elected. Little Tim
Sullivan, Tammany leader OF the Board of
Aldermen. was reelected. Benjamin Hon-
man was reelected 20 the Municipal Court
bench Hamburger and Fraser candidates
for Coroner; Arthur Murphy. who ran for
President Of The Bronx; "Christy" Sullivan,
candidate for Sheriff, and James ]. Hagan,
candidate for County Clerk. went down 10
defeat.
Charles F. Murphy was not at Tammany
Hall yesterday. Thomas +. Smith. secre-
tary Of Tammany Hall. who is clerk Of the
City Court spent nearly all day at the
clerks office. Mr.. Murphy will be at the
hall to-day, but next week he will leave
the city for vacation. probably at Mount
Clemens. Mich.
AS already stated in The Tribune, there
is much dissatisfaction among the leaders
over the crushing defeat OF Tuesday. The
greater part OF the blame is laid on the
Sullvans who insisted on running Roesch
for City Court Judge, "Christy' for Sheriff
and Hagan for County Clerk against the
wishes OF Murphy.
The reorganiza tion meeting of the general
committee Is in December and IL is not like
ly that any revolt against Murphys leader
ship will make its appearance by that time
The crucial time for Murphy will be at the
primaries in September next. when new as
pirants for the leadership will battle with
the Murphy leaders in nearly all the dis
tricts. II anti-Murphy leaders should win
the primaries then the opposition 10
Murphy would be so formidable that he
might be forced out Of the leadership de-
spite the rules OF the organization designed
20 make control by the strongest faction
self-perpetuating.
II Judge Gaynor. as Mayor, treats the
Tsmmany men generously. Murphy will
claim the credit OF choosing a candidate
who did better by the organization than did
Mcclellan. II he turns the cold shoulder
20 Mr.. Murphy's representative. there is
little doubt that the September primaries
will see so many changes in the new execL-
tive committee that Mr.. Murphy will resign
the leadership one year from now. For the
present the district leaders are too much
stunned 10 discuss a change Nearly all Of
them are worn out by the hard work OF the
campaign. and will. as soon Mr.. Murphy
leaves town. follow his example and take
two or three weeks 10 rest up.
