Tammany delegation. $500 or more
strong. goes to Baltimore in June to at
tend the national democratic convention

prophesied. According to plan which
Tom Smith. the secretary of Tammany
Hall, has outlined to Leader Charles F.
Murphy. the majority of the braves will
not need to put up at hotels at ALL
Secretary Smiths plan, which already
has received the approval of Mr. Murphy
and other rammany leaders. Is to have
the organization charter two or more
large excursion steamers of the kind CON-
monty sg,en in New York waters in sum-
mer, in which to carry the Tammany
delegation to the convention city. The
steamers will anchor in the bay, a stone s
throw from the heart Of the city, and the
braves will sleep on board.
Refuse to Pay Fabulous Sums.
This arrangement. said Secretary Smith,
who has just returned from Baltimore,
where for the past week he has been try
ing to make arrangements for the han
ding Of the Tammany crowd. will be
much more satisfactory than the regular
method Of having the visitors undergo the
discomforts OF hotel life, and. incident

Plan Reported Not Satisfactory.
Secretary Smith did not Hike the ar
rangement proposed for Tammany's &C
commodation and told the committee SO.
Something had to be done. and he hit
upon the scheme OF the excursion boats.
II think the best plan is by far the best
scheme yet devised for taking care Of the
Tammany visitors" said Mr.. Smith. 1.-TWO
of the large Sound boats which comfort
ably hold about 1000 people each will be
ample 1 do not expect any trouble in
getting them. and will start negotia-
whom / have talked over the plan are
jubilant
of we get the boats we can afford to
laugh at the hotel men. ] found l could
get decent arrangements for only about
100 men, but we will have twice that
number and there will be no place to put
them unless they are quartered In the
two armories, which are now being fitted
UP with cots. We will be expected to pay
the same price for these cots as the hotels
charge. and anybody who has been In
Baltimore in the summer can imagine
what the discomfort will be. The heat
will be almost unbearable. and II some
thing better cannot be devised hundreds
Of Tammanyites will stay away.
