TAMMANY SETS
HOUSE IN ORDER

In The Election
MANY POLITICAL RUMORS
Murphy Denies Rumor That He Will
Be Deposed as Leader-Bannard
Looms Up as Gubernatorial
Possibility.

New York, November .-Battle-scarred
Tammany, which yesterday elected a
mayor, but lost city, took up today the
gloomy work of setting its house In or
der for four years of avowed anti-Tam-
many government in Greater New York
Analysis shows that the election, which
resulted In the defeat by the fusion
forces of every important Tammany-dem-
ocratic candidate below the mayor, was
more of victory for the anti-Tam-
many democrats who had lined up with
the republicans under the fusion banner
than for the straightout republicans

republican-fusIon ticket, for four years.
will be in absolute control of the city's
pursestrings. They will have a clear ma
jority in the board of estimate and ap-
portionment, one of the most powerful
municipal bodiessip any city of the world,
and therefore the right of spending more
than $1,000, 100000 of the city's money.
In this board, according to the anti
Tammany democrats, is to be found a nu-
cleus of what they believe will make for
a complete reorganization of the demo-
cratic party in Greater New York.
Persistent rumor had 1t today that the
attempt to create a new order of things
for the New York city democracy al
ready was under way. Charles +. Muir
ply, who succeeded Richard Croker as
Tammany leader, came out with a for
NAL disavowal of these rumors, at the

same time denying a report that he was
to be deposed from the leadership.
The presence of Richard Croker In the
city was a matter of considerable specu-
lation to those who were studying the sit
uaton, and the announcement that he
had extended his visit five days longer
than previously announced was regarded
as significant.
II am out of politics for good and all,
Croker declared Not for 100000 would

the background. Yes. they asked me to

too old and couldn't stand the racket.
Complete returns from the balloting in
the aldermanic districts show that Tam
many lost ground also in that body, and
that the democratic majority will be cut
down from 81 TO a majority of single
vote. in addition to this loss several OF
the nominally democratic votes from
Brooklyn districts are the product of
fusion between the democratic and the
Hearst-independent forces, and are hardf
ly to be depended upon to support their
democratic colleagues In all instances.

Amelia Rives the authoress, now Prin-
cess Troubetskoy, and brother of Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler, former democratic
candidate for governor of New York,
and who year or more ago was exoner-
ated by jury for the death of John
Gilliland, who was shot and killed in a
scuffle with Chanloner in the Merrie
Mills, Chanoler's' home in Albemarle
county, today held up an automobile
loaded with passengers on a public road
at theapoint of a revolver. He forced the
chauffeur to descend and lead his horse
which had become frightened, around the
machine and out of the way of dam
ger.
This is the first time that the yir-
ginia law requiring a chauffeur to rem
der aid in such contingencies has ever
been enforced in such drastic manner
and by private citizen.
Chandler maintains that the revolver,
which he says he Is in the habit of carry
ing, was unconcea1ed.

-E HERE are many women who love
to embroider and who do it more
for the pleasure of engaging in a
dainty occupation than for the sake
of the results TO be obtained from
the work
Yet the fashions in embroideries and
fancy work in general change from
season to season and are quite as ar
bitrary as they are in matters of dress.
Battenberg lace making is a thing
of the past. but many fair fingers are
now busy fashioning collars and jabots
and edgings of the Irish crochet. which
is the favorite hand made lace at
present.
The field occupied by the Irish lace
is. however. altogether different from
that of the battenberg. The latter
was used mainly for household pur-
poses, for centerpieces.- lunch cloths
and doilies, for curtains and bed
spreads. and although II was some
times employed for articles OF dress.
such as coat collars and lace boleros.
II was too large and heavy to be really
suited for personal wear.
On the other hand the Irish lace is
used almost exclusively for the adorn-
r}ent of clothes. Just now Dutch col
rs yolIes and undersleeves are being
f'ade Of it, as well as the little jabots
and tabs which are so much the style
at the present moment
There is a difference always notice
able between the imported Irish GRO
chet and that made by amateurs here.
This is probably the result OF using
thread that Is less fine and of doing
the work less firmly and tightly than
do the Irish peasants who earn their
livelihood by the work. Certain it is
that the imported lace has I'm nearly
all cases a much richer and heavier
appearance than the work done here.
Hand made cluny comes much nearer
to being the real successor of the
battenberg and renaissance laces in
kind and purpose. though not in popu-
larity. Like them it is made OF lace

more or less flexible and it is particu-

OF the corset bonings do. There Is

which is made to suit the most difficult
figures. A corset, of silk brocade edged
at the top with baby Irish. cluny or

of beauty If not joy.
In negligees there are wonderfully
charming things. A French model OF
lavender messaline satin has heavy

ton in sort OF ball pattern carried
out in wavy lines. while the loose
sleeves are trimmed with ball lace with
satin piping in between. This is a

 The man pushed open little side door and called to somebody to bring him half dozen eggs and piece of beefsteak. The commission was quick ly executed by strongly built young woman with beautiful blond hair and large. handsome eyes, who regarded us with curiosity.
 The innkeeper said to her roughly: don't let me see him."
 She disappeared.

He then or dered two bottles of cider and seemed to take us little notice of our host as our host did of him. The landlord let us do our own cooking and set our table near one of the windows.
 Suddenly I heard him mutter:
 "Ah, there he is!'
 His face had changed, expressing fierce hatred. He went and glued him. self to one of the windows. watching the road. There was no need. for me to draw Rouletabille's attention He had already left our omelet and had joined the landlord at the window. went with him.
