FAILS TO ENDORSE RANSOM
Republican Club Disapprovea
of CITY Court Candidacy.

The Republican Club, at meeting last
night called to consider the Endorsement
OF candidates for the coming election,
dsapproved the candidacy OF William l..
Ransom. the fusion nominee for justice
Of the City Court, by a decisive vote.
With this exception the entire fusion city
ticket and the nominations Of William f.
Werner for chief judge and Frank II.
Hscock for associate judge OF the Court
OF Appeals were upheld.
About fifty members attended the meet
ing. j. Van Vechten Olcott presided.
The amendment to exclude Ransom from
the clubs Endorsement was offered by w.
C. Runyon and seconded by ex-Assem-
blyman Alfred r. Conkling John J.
Fleming's motion TO approve the rest OF
the city ticket was unanimously carried.
The objection to Ransom arose chiefly
decisions, published a short time ago.
The club is strongly opposed to this prin-
ciple. 1t was pointed out also by the va
rious speakers that Mr.. Ransom was far
too young to hold so important a place;
that his candidacy had been opposed by
the Bar Association OF which he has been
a member for only eight years. and that
he had been for some time an employe
OF the Public Service Commission. instead
OF attending to the practice OF law.
Mr. Ransom is a Progressive. His
Tammany opponent is Robert l.. Luce
who has also failed TO secure the indorse-
ment OF the Bar Association.

DENIES FOR STILWELl
McClelland Says Alleged Con
fession to Hennessy Is Untrue.

James ID. McClelland, State Senator and
counsel for Stephen ]. Stilwell. in state
ment given out Yesterday at Mccall head
quarters, said that during a recent visit
TO Stilwell at Sing Sing he called the at
tention OF the prisoner 10 the report that
John A. Hennessy intended to make pub
lie the details of IAN alleged interview
and confession" of Stilwells Stllwell
asserted, according TO his counsel, that
any statements that might be made that
he had implicated anybody, officially or
otherwise, would be fictitious and untrue.
Senator McClelland said that Stilwell
told him that Hennessy came 10 him and
told him that he had a pardon for him
from the Governor II he would implicate
some of Governor Suffers enemies In the
Legislature
Hennessy told Stilwell, according to the
McClelland statement, that he would take
him TO the District Attorneys office, and
that if he would make a statement in
volving Murphy, Frawley and Levy he
would not have to go back to the prison.
Mr.. McClelland said that the interviews
with Stilwell by Hennessy and Lynn j.
Arnold, of Albany, were brought about
against the positive wish of Stilwell.

two persons who made the affidavIts
for him | Will see IL he takes the
stand and they take the stand that
they will be indicted for perjury, and
we will do the best we can to send them
TO Sing Sing prison"
He went over his previous remarks
with regard TO the conference with
Mccall when Mccall gave him the
last offer" to Sulzer and added that
Mccall on that occasion first advanced
the possibility Of giving Sulzer the
next Democratic Senatorship. He said
they both talked about the men who
were carrying stories OF one kind and
another from Sulzer to Murphy and
from Murphy TO Sulzer, and in that
connection, Hennessy said, he took
occasion TO condemn Senator Wagner
to Mccall as "a dirty little rat" be-
cause Wagner, Hennessy said, had
told Judge Samuel A. Beardsley some
thing which assailed him (Hennessy)
in an underground way. Hennessy
said he told Mccall then that he would
get" Wagner II il took years.
Hennessy declared he also told Nc
Call, at that same interview, that SEN
ator Frawley had said TO the Governor
that Murphy had a nllaon enemies
in New York, that he had more enc
mics than the Governor knew, but the
time to assemble them and get them
together was not then, but sometime
later"
And Mccall said to me that Murphy
had retired Frawley from the state
committee, that he had prevented
Frawley from being made the chair
mission. and that he would not have
permitted Frawley TO be renominated
for Senator only that Frank Farrell
and Tom Foley and Timothy d. Sulli-
van had gone 10 him and asked him to
let Frawley go back and he said, That
is how strong Frawley stands with
Murphy | wonder will Mr.. Mccall
make a peep tomorrow on that"
Hennessy tainted Mccall with his
delay in starting any action against
him, and said he would meet him any
where he designated att o'clock to-
day, ready for service and that he
would have his answer to any such
action within an hour.
But you can bet your sweet life that
Edward f. Mccall won't sue me for
libel tomorrow, he added. HE would
not have my answer printed until after
election, because he has the fatuous be-
lief that he still has living chance"
AS to Murphy's expected answer TO
his charges. which Hennessy said he
had not then seen, he said that he
would make Murphy the laughing
stock Of New York on the question
of the moneys that he has grabbed
Off" He mentioned the $4,000 con-
tributions of Jim. Stewart, and SAID
that he, Hennessy, would be able 10
produce the man who got sos 5000 of it,
in bills
None of US are aaginst Tammany
Hall" Hennessy concluded. 1T is a fine
and an able institution, which has done
great work; but what we want TO do
with Tammany Hall is 10 let the decent
Democrats in and drive the crooks out.
Put John Purroy Mitchell in there.
We'll. Murphy says he is not going to
resign as leader and he is not going TO
leave. Well, l predict for Mr.. Murphy
that after Mr.. Mitchell takes the oath OF
office as Mayor. and has the assistance,
as he will, Of the President of the United
States, Mr.. Murphy won't be asked 10
move. We will move him.

Hennessy's Defiant Statement.
The letter was as follows:
Hon. Edward T.. Mccall,

Hon. Edward f. Mccall.
Sir:
II have read your smoky statement in
this mornings newspapers and the as
sertion that If | put my announcements
about you in writing you would have me
indicted for criminal libel. You say (:
Il deem II duty not only to myself but
TO the electorate OF this community to
make emphatic. specific and detailed de-
NAL of every statement that this creature
(Hennessy) has uttered
II accept with pleasure your challenge
and ] shall condense my statement You
say that Inspector Mclaughlin did not
lend you the money TO pay for your nomi-
nation. nor did you pay anybody for II.
never said Mclaughlin lent you the
money. | asked you whether you had
gotten your campaign fund from an In
spector of police, or some other source
and distinctly stated as the stenographic
reports will show, that | might not be
able to prove where you got the money,
but that il was up to you TO tell the
people. II has taken you six days to
make a denial where an honest man
would not have taken minute.
What were you afraid OF and why
haven't you got Inspector Mclaughlin to
reinforce your denial? You ask that
put all my other accusations In writing
herewith do so:
First. | said that / was in your office
for more than one hour discussing for
nine-tenths Of that time terms suggested
by yoC which would prevent the impeach-
ment of Governor Sulzer; that you and
were alone except when you called for
the secretary of the commission TO get
me some papers to take to Albany; that
YOU do not dare to bring an action on this
because | will prove you TO be a perjurer
If you go upon the stand, both from in
side and outside your Office, and the same
will hold true to any witnesses you call.

Charles F. Murphy's house in the early

in person the examination Of Mr.. Hen

Mr. Whitman said:
Here are charges Of a felony made in
the open. As long as these charges were
made from the stump alone 1t might nave
been entirely proper to ignore them. But
now that they have been placed in writ
ing over the signature Of Mr.. Hennessy

Mr.. Whitman said no formal complaint
against Hennessy had been made. and
that he had acted in the matter entirely
on his own initiative
Former Judge Samuel A. Beardsley, OF
Utica. who testified In the impeachment
trial that he had offered Sulzer $4,000 last
fall, and who according TO Hennessy,
later paid the $4,000 into the Tammany
campaign fund. although IL was never ac-
counted for, will be subpGnaed for the
John Doe proceedings together with all
other witnesses suggested by Hennessy.
II Hennessy and Beardsley prove that

any person in Tammany Hall for the
campaign fund the failure to report that
contribution in the sworn statement OF
campaign contributions and expenditures

llvered will constitute violation OF the

is concerned. II Is not probable that the

committing magistrate. will conduct the
John Doe proceedings, which are sched-
uled 10 begin Thursday with Hennessy's
complete story. II is understood that
District Attorney Whitman's position Is
that as Hennessy's accusations already
have been made publicly from the plat
form IT will be better to conduct the in
qulry I'm open court under such proceed
lngs than 10 surround the development OF
the story with the secrecy OF the grand
jury room.
Hennessy himself. Il is said. is entirely
willing to go on the witness stand in such
proceedings and 30 through with the ac-
cusations he has made against various
prominent members OF Tammany Hall,
from Murphy down. He made his de-
iance OF Mccall as definite as possible
yesterday in a letter which he sent 10
the Tammany Mayoralty candidate.
The frebrand Of the campaign dictated
his answer 10 McCalrs demand for a
written accusation, on which 10 base an
action for criminal libel, to newspaper
men. Hennessy had written out a part
Of the answer in their presence. but It
was written merely on scraps OF paper
which he happened TO have In his pocket
With the idea that possibly the dicta-
ton OF the Hennessy response In that
way might not satisfy the demands made
by Mccall, a reporter for The Tribune
wrote out the Hennessy letter on a type
writer making n carbon copy. and asked
Hennessy II he would sign il, and also
whether he had sent a copy to Mccall.
Certainly I will sign IT," Hennessy
said, and after he had signed both the
original and the carbon copy he asked II
he might have the copy 10 send TO Mr..
Mccall, as. he explained. he had not be-
fore sent the Tammany candidate a copy
OF the letter. The original was given to
him and he Immediately sent ii by special
