nous Is the stake in this war that

Mr. Rockefeller, whose father, in com

What the leader OF Tammany Hall
said lis purely conjectural, for the head
waiter when interviewed was reserved
en- that point. and Mr.. Murphy even
more so. That he declined IS inferred
from the fact that the pulpit was filled
