influence suggested yesterday that the
new city administration might be OF great
assistance in . movement to that end his
plan was to have a man In the conn

Assembly district I'm the city to handle
whatever patronage and small favors
might come to the Democrats of the dis

ability to lead, and would be the nucleus
of an organization which would fight FOR
his election as leader in the Democratic
primaries next fall.
Mr.. Mitchell has stated that he does
not intend to use his Office for the build
ing up OF personal political machine

that a certain amount OF patronage was
due to the independent Democrats as
we'll as the Republicans and the Progress
siyes. and II would be perfectly proper 10
have II handled through a recognized lead

year Of his second administration. He car
ried seven Assembly districts In the prim-
maries that fall.

not be possible to change the entire lead
ership OF Tammany Hall this fall. But
beginning must be made, and an ihior-
NAL conference TO consider the matter

cause. and an effort will be MADE 10
