OF BOSS MURPHY
New York Democrats Plan
Association to Overthrow
Tammany.

NEW YORK. July I.-Thomas Mott
Osborn and other men associated with
him in the New York State Wilson con-
ference, which conducted a preconven-
ton campaign for the nomination Of
Governor Wilson for the Presidency,
are considering the organization Of an
association to be known as the Empire
State Democracy. the object Of which
will be to fight the domination OF
Charles F. Murphy in the State. These
men desire the nomination of a pro-
gressive for governor, and they do not
believe that any such thought exists In
the mind Of Mr.. Murphy.
Mr.. Osborn has been fighting Murphy
with little success for some time, but
he hopes that the nomination of Cover
nor Wilson In the face of the strenuous
opposition of the New York State
"boss'' will result in the anti-Murphy
people pluckng up courage to do some
real fighting.
Those who are planning the move-
ment would like to see Senator O'Gor-
man the real leader of the party In this
State. SHe was a stanch supporter OF
Governor Wilson throughout the fight
at Baltimore, and there Is no doubt that
the move to make him leader would
have the support Of the Democratic
nominee.
