While Conners and Murphy suspended
hostilities to-day there was no dminu-
ton OF the downright anger of Democrats
in the State committee against the pres
ence Of committeeman who do not right
fully belong there. There were strong
Conners men and strong Murphy men
who declared that they had never ceased
to regret the conduct Of Conners and
Murphy in the Carnegie Hall convention
Of April. 1908, In substituting State COM
mitteemen for those rightfully elected
by the constituents Of their Senate dis
tricts.
Democrats interested in eifectinR to-
days COMPROMISED. some OF them old
tiNe war horses and others in the COM
mittee itself, said that the committee must
purge itself Of these illegal committeeman
before the Democratic party can 60
into battle this year.
Il was the very general opinion that
these committeeman should be retired
at the time that Chairman Conners is
retired on April III: Second. Joseph
Cassidy; Third, John II. Delaney; Fourth.

IL was urged tonight by Demoora ts
who insist that the committee must purge
itself that the foregoing committeeman
can easily be retired ON April IL because
there will then be no possible excuse for
their retention because the personal DIFF
ferences between Conners and Murphy
have been settled and because between
the present time and April II the Demo-
Gratis OF the foregoing sixteen Senate
districts should file with Clerk Mason
the names Of the State committeeman
they desire to represent them,
The Democrats Of those sixteen Senate
districts do not minoe words wnen speak
ing OF this matter. They tell you that
were stolen; do you hear what we say +,
stoleni Stolen is the word to use and
no other word, and we want this matter
changed and changed quickly too
They add that there can be no real
harmony in the Democratic party in the
State while these sixteen committeeman
hold their stolen seats.
COnners and Murphy left for New York
city tonight.
|. All that Conners would say was:
Il am going back to Palm Beach to.
morrow. They came here for special
purpose and didn't do it,"
Murphy did not wish to say anything.
While Conners's friends in the State
Committee were imploring him not to
humiliate himself by making a public
apology to Murphy. Conners received this
unsigned telegram from New York city:
W. ,. CoRaers. Ten Evek HOt'L Albany.
". T.;
Remember that Mrs. Conners would
rather be the widow OF brave man than
the wife OF q coward.
Supreme Court Justice Martin j. Keogh
had a number OF intimate friends in the
Democratic gathering at the Hotel Ten
Eyck tonight. They said they had talked
with Judge Keogh and had a right to as
sert that he was not candidate for
Governor. One OF them added:
Il have had several talks with Judge
Keogh OF late and ] Rm constrained to say
that he is not and WI not be a candidate
for Governor next fan. do not doubt
that certain Democrats have been and are
making certain plans Of a political char
acter for the Judge, but the Judge is not
and will not be a party to them. He is
a poor man with many children and has
just been unanimously reelected Tor
fourteen years at salary OF $7.SO0
year.
Judge Keogh is not party to any plan
to nominate him for Governor next fall
and at the proper time the Democrats
who have taken such a vast interest in
the Judges immediate future will be
told so
