will impress the public; but Mr.. Murphy
hopes to control the votes.
But when 1t comes TO patronage, that

last fall, is the Tammany candidate Tor
the vacancy caused by the resignation or
James W. Gerard, now Ambassador 20
Germany. He will probably be named.
The big thing that Murphy would like
TO get is the craftsmanship OF the Com
