Most of the Democrats with whom Mir
Murphy talked yesterday continued to
,ay that he had no favorite for the United
states Senatorshp. but whispers began
o. he heard 20 the effect that the rivalry
between Edward VI. Shepard of Brooklyn
and William +. Sheehan of New York
county IL daily becoming more pro-
Iouucrd. and that IN the end the Demo
oratIc legislators in joint caucus a.
-~ubled may be steered IN the direction
Cd. supreme Court Justice James "
Gerard.
The Democrats who have talked with
Mr Murphy on the subject of the Sen
arorship are chiefly his personal friends.
and most 81 them favored Justice Gerard
an the ground that the Democrats Of

Democratic United States senator
Francis ID. Herman hailed from Utica.
David B. Hill from Albany and Edward
Murphy. Jr. from Troy Both Mr.
Shepard and Mr.. Shsehan are New York
C'y Democrats. but when the intimates
OF Mr. Murphy speak Of a New York CITY
Democrat they mean a Tammany Demo-
Crat Mr.. Sheehan originally hailed from
Buffalo and Mr.. Shepard IL a Kings county
democrat The organization, meaning
Tammany, il looked upon is behind
