TAMMANY CHARTER IDEAS
Conflict with Gaynor's Plans of
Revision May Block Passage.

Students Of charter revision in this city
said last night that the problem in Albany
this winter would be almost hopeless!y
complicated by the fact that not only would
Mayor Gaynor have number OF changes
&C. recommend. but that Tammany also had
certain ideas II desired 10 incorporate in
any new charter that might be framed.
Many Ct these ideas are believed 70 con-
fict, and it was freely predicted last night
that the chances were good that revised
charter would not be passed az all at this
session OF the Legislature.
Last spring Mayor Gaynor appointed a
committee composed OF various members
OF the administration fer the purpose OF
preparing amendments 70 the charter. This
committee was composed OF Controller
prendergast President Mitchell OF the
Board Of Aldermen. Borough President Nc
Aneny, Corporation Counsel watson, Bcr-
oueh President Cromwell Of Richrl ond.
Dock Commissioner Tomkins. President
Purdy of the Tax Board and Alderman

tee OF that body.

Rev F. w Osborn. OF Brooklyn: the Rev.
Dr. Henry Ward. Of Buffalo. and the Rev.

clared that the game played on Sunday af-
ternoons tended to degrade the game OF

work and Christian health.
IF you pass this bill against religious
opposition" he added. you will be passing
class legislation"
