Murphy Distributes the Stuff, ="
About s35 Going to Each
Election District.

Although they feel confident Of the cleo
ton of John A. Dix, the Democratic cam
paign managers are much alarmed over the
prospect for the remainder of the ticket
Gloom in Tammany Hall over the possible
defeat Of the tail Of the ticket was par
ticularly pronounced.
When they believed that Mr. Dix would
be elected by n large plurality the Tam
many crowd thought the head of the ticket
would pull the others through. But since
the drift 10 Stimson has been more and
more pronounced the chances for the cleo
ton of Carmody, Sohmer, Kennedy and
the others has become less and less.
The Democratic State Committee had
practically completed it's work on Sunday
and scarcely a wheel was turning at head
quarters yesterday. In Tammany Hall,
however. where Charles +. Murphy. the
big boss met his leaders in the morning.
all was activity. The leaders were told TO
bend every energy to get votes for the en-
tire ticket
1t was dough day at Tammany Hall
and every leader went away with his little
bundle of mOney-fOr the workers or
course. 1t was said unofficiaIly that an
average Of 80 an election district was
given out. or a total of Sc. 500 In addi-
tiOn to the currency of the realm each DIS
trict worker got his badges. stationery and
other material for the polls, commonly
known as para aphernalia.
John A Dix. the Democratic candidate
for Governor, decided he would not an
swer any more questions from Henry l.
Stimson. the Republican candidate, even
before he knew that there would be any
further posers from Mr. Stimson- After
the way In which his replies Of Sunday
had been received he did not care to vent
ure any more.
Mr. Dix talked 10 me on the telephone
at noon said William s Rode. chairman
Of the executive committee, last night
He said that he was done and under I'D
circumstances would he make any further
reply to Mr.. Stimson.'
Mr. Rode was in charge at state head
quarters Yesterday. He had nothing TO do.
however He said he had not received one
word from upstate all day. either by tele-
gram or telephone. except for the talk he
had With Mr.. Dix.
'T take that as a good indication" said
Mr. Rode. 1t seems 70 me that the
machine of the Democratic party upstate
is in better shape to-day than it has been
any time in the last twenty years. Every
detail for tomorrow has been arranged
and we are not looking for trouble any
where. We have a sufficient number Of
watchers for each polling place in the
state \ large number Of lawyers have
volunteered to smooth arv trouble that may
arise.
