Foes of Murphy Will Vote
for Whitman and Other
Murphy Enemies.
BENSEL ALSO ON
LIST FOR SLAUGHTER
Prediction That Governor VIII
Run $4,000 Behind His
Ticket Made.

Anti-Tammany Democrats. snti-Mur-
ply Democrats, Wilson Democrats
and every other brand of Independent
Democrats will vote for District Attor-
ney Whitman for Governor. according
TO "a statement made by one Of the lead
ing independent Democrats of the state
90 reporter for The Tribune last
night.
They will not vote the entire Repub-
licsn ticket, however, this Democrat de-
clared, but would vote against such
men as State Engineer Bensel and
others who, they believe. are tied up TO
Charles +. Murphy 70 a degree where
they will listen to suggestions from
Fourteenth Street.
The Tribune's informant, who talked
only on condition that his name be not
used, said:
"You asked me what | and other so
called Wilson Democrats will do. Well,
let me tell you that the Independent
Democrats who fought Mr. Glynn be-
fore the primaries will fight him on
Election Day and will not do anything,
in any shape or form, that will help
Mr.. Glynn.'
But Dudley Field Malone has in
dorsed Governor Clynn," put In The
Tribune reporter.
"Well, Mr. Malone is Collector Of the
Fort and an able citizen. and he pretty
we'll showed where he stood before
election when he contributed 20 John
A. Hennessy's campaign and minced no
words in his criticism Of Mr. Glynn
and Mr. Murphy. Incidentally, has MIR.
Heunessy or any other man not hold
ing federal Office Endorsed Governor
Glynn since primary day?
Now, let me tell you about this in
dorsing business. You remember what
Pat McCarrcn did 30 Mr. Hearst when
he ran for Governor? Mr.. Hearst was
nominated by the Democratic party.
Pat McCarren, then leader Of the
Brooklyn wing Of Tsmmany Hall, called
his executive committee and told them
I'm plain, out5poken terms, some Of
them not the very phrases you'd eX-
pect 20 hear from Sunday school
teacher, and wound mp his characterized
ton Of Mr.. Hearst In the following
fashion:
"'WeN boys. Hearst is the regular
Democratic nominee for Governor, so
we'll indorse him
"You know what happened on Elec-
ton Day1 Dir. Hearst ran $1,000 or
$4,000 votes I've forgotten which-be"
hind the rest Of the Democratic ticket
IN Brooklyn. That, however, did not
alone beat him. Joe Murphy, in
Troy. who also had his knife out for
Mr. Hearst, cut into Mr.. Heerst's vote
sufficiently to beat him"
"Will that happen in this election to
Governor Glynn?'
Watch and see. II Mr.. Glynn does
not run $4,000 votes behind the rest
Of the ticket I'll get out Of politics"
This Democrat, who has the conf
dence OF Dudley Field Malone, Mayor
Mitchell and other Wilson Democrats
including the standard bearer of that
faction in the primary fight against
Governor Glynn, said il could be taken
for 8 certainty that John A. Hennessy
will not write q letter indorsinR Gov
crnor Glynn, or say anything that will
help In his election. This man said
that Mr.. Hennessy. after the election
would again lead the active and open
fight Of the Wilson Democrats against
, Governor Glynn and Mr. Murphy.
William Church Osborn and other
Democratic leaders who arc working
hard for Governor Glynn hope that
Secretary Bryan will bring here to-
morrow night the much coveted letter
that Mr.. Osborn ana others have been
hoping President Wilson will write in
dorsing Governor Glynn's administra-
ton. II he does. the letter will be
read at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
tonight. where Governor Glynn will
fire the first big shot in his campaign.
Wilson Democrats will attend a din
ner in honor of Stuart G.. Gibboney.
one Of the managers OF the Hennessy
campaign, at the National Democratic
Club Thursday night. There will be
discussed what action will be taken
with regard to the Tammany ticket.
Mr.. Hennessy, Assistant Secretary of
the Navy Roosevelt, who ran for United
States Senator against Nr. Gerard on
the Hennessy ticket; Corporation Coun-
sel Polk, Collector Malone and other
prominent Wilson Democrats have been
invited. Gustavus A. Rogers lie srrang-
ing the dinner.
