day in bringing about the election of John F. Mur-
ray as his successor. Mr.. Murray was Commis-
s.oner OF Public Works under Mr.. Haffen, and
since the removal of Hafen by the Governor he

same time eligible candidate for the office al
the borough convention Before the meeting OF
the eight aldermen yesterday they conferred with
Charles F. Murphy. and told him they could not

he filed in November. Between and the time
of holding the borough convention the dickering

three saloons. their candidate Charles +.
Murphy would not assent TO it, as he fears hard
tight in the mayoralty campaign, and he does not
want the candida for Mayor the Tammany
ticket TO show a falling off in The Bronx on ac-
count of attacks from the independent Democrats
on the one hand knitting of the ticket by the
Tsffen the other.
II shall in any circumstance he a candidate
for president of the borough the borough con-

and while he was receiving the congratulations OF
his friends.
Are you going 10 retain the friends Of Mr.. Haf-
Zen in Office during your brief term?'
Il cannot discuss my policy so soon after my
election said he.

year. There will be 80 between
May 16 and September 26, of which
l will be given on Sundays. More
than 100000 persons will view the
religious spectacles. They will
come from all over the world.
Although large sums are realized
from the play, the people in the lit

they are not actuated by a desire
for money. They are pleased with
the order of Herr Bauer, because ii
will show all the world that they
are willing to make sacrifices.
Anton Lang, as in the previous
play, will portray the figure OF
Christ. The climax of the Pas
