DIX KEEPS MURPHY PACT
Disappoints Friends by Signing
Levy Election Bill.
BIG PATRONAGE FOR BOSS
Law Hard Blow to Anti-Tam-
many Fusion in This City
Machine Cost, 100000.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune

Albany, July Ex-Governor Dix to-day
signed the bill OF Assemblyman Levy
amending generally the. elections law. THIS
measure is the chief fruit Of Tammany's
control OF the Legislature. 1t accomplishes
two things ardenty desired by Boss
Murphy Of Tammany. 1t strikes blow at
anti-Tammany fusion in New York CITY
and creates a big election machinery which
will enable him 10 Tammanyize the cleo
ton system of the state.
Many dlshcartened and discouraged
friends 81 Governor Dix around the state
have been imploring him recently 10 have
courage and Independence enough 10 defy
Murphy and veto this bill They have tried
10 point out the popular advantages OF
such q course by emphasizing the COM
mendation ne has received when he has
accepted the admirable vetoes written Tor
him by william Church Osborn, his legal
adviser on many bills recently. Those DIS
however were not political measures ana
Murphy was not interested in them. No
body here who has watched the Governors
course and realized how absolutely he Is
under Murphy's control on questions OF
patronage and political legislation had any
doubt about the bill receiving his approval
even though II is pretty certain to be con-
tested in the courts.
Z This measure provides that the name OF
a candidate for office may he printed only
once on the ballot. If a candidate is in
dorscd by another party or independent
organization after nomination by some
party. he must make choice IN which col
umn his name shall be printed. This. plus
ipf
nomination by petition, is declared by inde-
pendents to be Murphy's attack on the
independents. who by fusion prevented him
from getting many city and county Offices
in the last New York CITY election.
The bill wipes out the present board Ci

the appointing power for the new one from
Mayor Gaynor to the party members u

Interboroueh May Shave Demands

IF was stated yesterday by a person
nresurned TO be fully cognizant OF the
facts that the bankers OF the lnterDor-
ough We're not responsible for the oe-
mand OF that company for per cent
guarantee. The bankers, II was salu'
only wanted a guarantee Of fair return
on their money and the usual sinkins
fund. q total OF G or GH per cent anu
that the remaining 3 or 2ls per cent was
tackled on by the PETERBOROUGH In order
TO assure them a dividend on the inter-
borough Metropolitan preferred stock.
President Shonts has all along SAID
that his COMPANY could not possibly 90
business on less than the per cent de-
manded by him. but now that Mayor
Gaynor has come out against guaran-
tee perhaps the Interborough may be WILL
ing to shave its demands. 1t is known
that President McAneny, Controller
Prendergast, President Mitchell OF the
Board Of Aldermen, President Steers,
President Gresser and President Cron1-
well are all against the per cent guar
antee.
Some OF the members Of the board are
anxious to find out just how the Inter-
borough has spent the S4S,OO0,OO that IL
asserts it put into the present subway
up to date. When the last annual re-
port of the company came out the
figures were S39,00000O. On December
81 the company stated that this figure
had been increased, but the annual re-
port for this year is not out and no de-
tails Of just how the additional amounts
have been expended have yet been made
public, and they are. not in possession of
the city's conferrees.
Seth Low, writing to the Board of Es-
innate again yesterday. to correct a
false impression that might have been
gained from his letter of "Wednesday,
took occasion to repeat his arguments in
favor Of having the city grant the terms
demanded by the Interborough. He was
afraid, he said, that in speaking OF the
S35,000000 stock and S4S,-
100000 in bonds the Inference would be
drawn by the public that the company
had put S3500O,000 into the present sub
way in addition to the SiS,000,O00.
