Movement in City.

The fght OF the Democrats OF The
Bronx who want TO have a separats
party machine and are trying 20 shake of
the yoke OF Tammany Hall received a
setback last night at the meeting Of the
Bronx County Democratic committee.
The Tammany men had things all their
own way. and after holding up the meet
ing for three hours by demanding roll
call on a motion to adjourn they finally
won by vote OF 37G 10 33S. At midnight
the meeting was declared adjourned with
out any officers being elected.
The motion TO adjourn was made by
Stephen Nugent Tammany leader Of the
34th Assembly District. when Arthur II.
Murphy. formerly leader Of the ath, re-
fused to be put in line for chairman Of
the executive committee Murphys friends
saw through the scheme and were pleased
when Murphy arose and declined the
honor. saying that it would be disloyal
TO his old friend. Eugene J. Mcclure. and
asked his friends to vote for Mcclure as
leader
Mcclure was the choice OF the minority
members Of the executive committee, who
were leu ny HOilldH - " 4Nflis Ii' dlh-
many element. VINO managed TO have the
bulk OF their delegates on hand. were not
pleased with the prospect OF Mcclure
being made chairman Of the executive
committee. which would make him leader
Of the Bronx Democrats. They set up a
howl. and after the pandemonium quieted
down the voice Of Nugent shouting II
rnovc ,re af1iourn" Uaa heard
This cry was taken up and seconded by
the Tammany members OF the committee,
and then Nugent demanded a rollcall and
won out, so that most Of the ant-Tam-
many members OF the committee left In
disgust before their names were reached.
After the midnight adjournment the
anti-Tammany men openly said they
would join hands with fusion at the com
ing election sooner than let Tammany get
a firm control Of things In The Bronx.
The anti-Tammsny element is led by
Frederick Humphreys and Thomas H..
O'Neil, who were stsnch supporters OF
Mcclure.
Tammany's successful coup last night
means that the Tammany crowd will have
things their own way until next Septem-
Der. as the bylaws OF the committee pro-
vide that no election Of officers can be
held during the months Of June. July or
August
Many Democrats who do not wear the
Tigers stripes said that they would will
