MURPHY MAY
MEET WATERLOO
Today in the Big Fight To
Nominate Sheehan which
Will Decide Whether he
Is To. Boss New York.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 1S.-When the
New York state Legislature met at
noon today in joint session to elect
q successor to Chauncey NJ. Dcpew in
the United states senate. the feeling
was most bitter among the members
of the Democratic majority. Up to
the moment OF entering the chamber
Boss Charles r. Murphy, of Tammany
hall, was desperately engaged In try
ing to secure from the ranks OF the
"insurgcnt Democrats enough votes
to force the choice OF his candidate,
william T.. Sheehan, former lieuten-
ant governor and now a New York
City corporation attorney.
The fight against Murphy and Shee-
han was led by Senator Franklin De-
lando Roosevelt, Harvard man. mill
ionaire Democrat and distant cousin
of Colonel Roosevelt. The senator said
as he entered the chamber that he
had twenty-five Democrats pledged to
vote against Sheehau and that the
Tammany candidate could never be
elected. Roosevelt said that he did
not look for an extended deadlock He
believe that if Sheehan could not be
elected IOuuN ne Noulu Dt ulOppth
by Murphy and that the Democrats
could then quickly agree on candi-
date.
Murphy was lighting desperately
for Sheehan this morning because II
he was rejected 1t meant a Waterloo
for the Tammany leader OH his first
essay as a state boss. If Sheehan
who was asked by DIX to retire tt
bring harmony to the party and VIII,
| laughed in the governors face, shoult
| be forced out of the race, Dix is eX
pected to relegate Murphy to the reaI
and himself assume the state leader

There were three changes in tn,
