Empire state. Reviews MerftOrious
Efforts of WigSvam Chiefs and
Ventures TO Predict Successor.

The New York political situation and
the influence Of the Tammany organiza-
tion and its leaders were discussed and
summed up last night By Lafe Pence. q
prominent New York lawyer, formerly
member OF Congress. who is at the
Riggs, as follows:
''rhe splendid teamwork Of Charles
F. Murphy and Daniel F. Cohalan in
New York Democratic politics began long
before 1910 That was merely the eulmI-
nation
let me remind you Of the important
move they made in bringing the party
in the great metropolis into time and
harmony with the party in the nation in
the fall OF 1909. They had decided to sup
port Judge Gaynor for mayor Whether
Hearst and others stayed by him OF left
him made no difference 10 Murphy and
Cohalan. They picked him 10 win as the
Democratic candidate, whatever others
might do. The platform on city issues
was quickly and simply framed. Then
the question arose should they go further.
Should they undertake TO pledge the par
~ and its nominees on matters or ques-
tions other than strictly municipal ones?
First "a support Income Tax.
They took counsel with others. They
paid heed 10 the wishes and suggestions
of such national leaders as Champ Clark
with the very important and far-reachfng
result that they then-in 1909-decIared
in favor OF the income tax. cad incor-
porated in the city platfcl a a request
that all assemblymen should support the
pending constitutional amendment
1T was not Shepard in 1910 who com
mitted the party in New York upon this
great and paramount question" contin-
ued Mr.. Pence, but it was Murphy and
Cohalan in 1903
THE Senator from New York will be
either Murphy or Cohalan, and the rea-
son will be that the party is determined
10 send to Washington the best informed
Democrats we have TO counsel with par
ty leaders during those dangerous months
from December. 1871 to June 1872 Right
then is when we viii do things to either
hold or lose New York, and the man who
can best guard the open spot is the man
for Senator. In my judgment, it will be
Mr.. Cohalan, because I think he will best
hll the bill and no one knows it as well
as Mr.. Murphy.
You may be sure of one thing" con-
cluded Mr.. Pence, and that is that Tam
many is going TO deserve and receive the
confidence and regard in national party

has too long been denied it,

Angelo AppittO Slain by His
Rival SuitOr.
AMBROsIA ADMITS KILLING
Aided by Thorough knowledge of
Language, Detective oFiani Makes
RvestiEntion-Feud Reaches Cii-
max when AppitfO Receives Letter
from Italy Containing Inquiry.

Following with startling rapidity upon
the death of Angelo Appltto at Emer-
gency Hospital. and the arrest of his
slayer at a Virginia briciSyard, the eli
max OF the Italian colony tragedy was
reached last night when the result Of
an investigation by the Italian detective
Thomas Oriani. became known.
Jealousy was the motive for murder
The life Of John Ambrosia hangs on the
question Of whether Appitto was killed
Monday night as a result OF premedi-
taton, or the fatal shot was fred IN
self-defense.
Called from his home by Lieut. James
Hartley. night chief of detectives. a few
moments after the report Of the murder
reached police headquarters, Detective
Oriani devoted the entire day to a search
of the Italian colony to find some one
who could throw a light on the cause Of
the tragedy. Aided by a thorough knoWl-
edge Of the Italian language, Oriani was
able TO locate several persons who had
known both Appitto and Ambrosia, and
also the girl who was unwittingly the
cause Of the murder.
Stronger for Ambrosia.
seventeen years oid and with all the
attrachyeness characteristic OF the
Italian race, the girl was the belle of the
colony, and Appitto and Ambrosia were
the favored suitors, As the dual court
ship progressed her regard was shown
the stronger for Ambrosia. who is but
twenty-one and seven years the junior of
the man whose body now lies at the
mOrgue. Although companions in their
work at the Washington Hydraulic Brick
Company plant in Brick Haven, Va. the
men gradually became estvanged, and on
several occasions a hand-to-hand en-
counter was only averted through the
Intervention of friends.
The feud came TO its head in the few
days preceding Christmas as the result
of a letter received by Appitto from his
old home in Italy. Besides the holiday
cheer from his relatives, it contained a
mention OF his friend Ambrosia in the
shape of a postscript TO be given TO
Ambrosia, and written by his wife. 1t
