TAhMANY LEADER
DENOUNCES DEAL
Charges New York Lawyer
With Conspiracy on
Senatorship.

NEW YORK. March 3O-Leader
Charles F. Murphy, Of Tammany, in an
open statement has bitterly attacked
Francis Lynde Stetson. a New York
lawyer. charging HIM with working
openly with Frank II. PIatt, son of for
mer Senator Thomas C, Platt, in making
"a deal with the Republican machine to
elect a man Of his own selection for
United states Senator"
Murphy charges that Stetson is the
mysterious power behind the insur-
gent movement at Albany which has
caused William F. Sheehan to be as
sailed by every conceivable form of
abuse"
Charging that stetson is with the in
terests and listing q dozen big corpora
tions In which he is director. Murphy
says:
IAN efforts to discover the identity Of
the man really responsible for this ac-
ton have been in vain until yesterday,
when. with brazen effrontery. charac-
teristic Of his entire career, Francis
Lynde Stetson, a political pharisee,
stepped into the limelight and boldly
assumed charge Of the entire movement.
Not satisfied with his work in pre-
venting the Democratic party from
making a choice for Senator, Mr.. Stet-
son now working openly with Frank II.
Platt, son of former Senator Platt, is
engaged in making a deal with the Re
publican machine to elect man Of his
own selection for United States Sena
tor, with the avowed purpose of de-
stroying the Democratic party in the
| State and finishing his lifelong strug-
! gle to break Tammany Hall.
Calling to his aid all the dissatisfied
/ Democrats in the State, and with the
assistance of several New York papers,
which have been trying for years 10
destroy the Democratic organization,
| this mans campaign has rung with the
charge that Mr.. Sheehan, whom he has
personally certified to be a man of high
character and sterling integrity, was
unfit to be chosen as United States Sen
ator because he was the representative
OF the interests
who is this Francis Lynde Stetson?''
asks Mr.. Murphy. and then he proceeds
to ask II Mr.. Stetson is not the same
man who, as counsel, organized the
Steel trust, the greatest piece Of stock
watering and stock jobbing In modern
investigated by the Congress of the
United States? Is he the attorney al
once for J. Pierpont Morgan and for
Thomas F. Ryan? Is he the man who
orga anized the Northern Securities Com
pany, which the Supreme Court Of the
United States held to be an illegal, Il
not a criminal organization? Did he
not organize the International Mcrcan-
tile Marine-the Shipping trust: the
Rubber trust, the Harvester trust, and
other similar bodies?'
