JUDGE o'pWYER SAYS REIN
STATEMENT is NOT LIKELY
TO OCCUR

New York, March 1.-THE ousting
Of Charles F. Murphy, leader Of Tam
many Hall, and several Of his follow
ers from membership in the National
Democratic club, created stir in po-
litical circles here. The ostensible
reason given during the heated de-
bate over the matter at the club last
night was that Murphy was behind in
his dues.
Judge Edward F. ODwyer, who has
been leading the fight against Murphy,
introduced a resolution calling for the
elimination Of the Tammany leader
and the others, but this resolution was
not formally adopted, as the point was
raised and upheld by the presiding of
ficer that under the rules the men
were automatically dropped, as they
had not paid dues for two months.
& Thomas w. Smith, secretary of Tam.
many Hall, appealed against the rul-
ing and rendered a check for the
money due. When the check was re-
fused he asked for vote. Seventeen
members Of the board Of governors
were present and they decided against

"They were dropped" he said, "for
the best interests of the club and the
