Patrick H. Sullivan. brother of the
late Timothy ID. Sullivan. and Lawrence
Muiligan. his half-brother, executors
under Big Tins will. are to be arrested
for contempt Of court this morning. The
order was signed last night by Surrogate
Cohalan. but Saul II. Rogers, counsel
for William Fox. the petitioning creditor,
who Instituted the contempt proceed! ngs.
decided not to put the order in the hands
Of Sheriff Grifenhagen until this morn
ing
Big Tim Sullivan owed Fox more than
$4,000 for loans during the two years
prior to his death. and the claim was
put into the hands of the two execu-
tors months ago. They took no action on
It and Mr.. Fox then applied to compel
them to file an inventory Of the late Con-
gressman's personal estate. The Surro-
gate gave them until yesterday to file the
inventory. and instead OF complying with
1t the executors got an order directing
Fox to show cause yesterday why they
shouldn't have more time.
Counsel for the executors told Surrogate
Cohalan that they had done their best
to get the appraisal finished. but were
delayed by their inability to get valua-
ton for Big Tins interest in the Sullivan
Cons.dine Theatrical Circuit, which has
property extending to the Pacific coast,
In reply to this argument Mr. Rogers
said that the circuit was sold a month
ago to Marcus Loew. and that It ought
to be simple enough for the exc
cutors to state how much they got for
Big Tins share. Counsel for the cxecu-
tors replied that the amount coming TO
the estate from the sale was more than
how much.
II will sign commitment and it will
be held over your head like the sword Of
Damocles." said the Surrogate. 1T will
drop as soon as the attorneys for Mr. Fox
see ut to ask for a commitment
Counsel for the executors protested. but
the Surrogate said that they were clearly
in contempt and would be punished.
Johnny white Disposssssed.
Larry and Patrick had other troubles OF
lltieation yesterday In addition TO the
Fox action. They tackled cispossess
notice Oh the door Of the o. Timothy y.
Sullivan Associations olubroom at 307
Bowery, owned by the sullivan estate. l.
sisnified that Alderman Johrny White ana
his faction In the two-year-old Sullivan
political feud In the Third Assembly dis
trict must get out.
But Alderman White and his friends
went straight to the First District Mu-
nicipal Court, contending that there We. =
flaws In the petition whereby the dig
possess notice was obtained. Their lawyer
was ex-Judge George i. Roesch. The
Sullivan executors were represented by
Isdor Cohen.
Judge William II. Moore ruled that the
petition was defective and the notice OF
dlspossession was vacated. So Larry
Mu!ligan and Paddy Sullivan will 80 90
cour1 again on Monday with new petit
ton and another lawyer. Louis Levine.
Part Of OLD Fcud.
It is all a part OF the fight of Patrick
Sullivan, a brother of Big Tim. for Tam
many leadership OF the Third district and
a possible sat In Congress later. Patrick
Sullivan and Larry Mulligan quarrelled
with Senator John c. Fitzgerald. the
leader recognized by Tammany and IN
control OF the district organ zaton.
The Sullivan Mulligan combination and
It's friends moved from 207 Eowery to $50
Bowery and trcked the Fit2serald-J Johnny
White crowd by Incorporating themselves
as the Timothy ID. Sullivan Association
They left their rivals In possession o: the
old clubhouse. but not much more. Re
Gently Senator Fitzgerald. vho has been
Ill for a year. resigned the district leader
ship and his committee appointed a sub
committee to treat FOR peace and elect a
new leader satisfactory to everybody
But, It was learned yesterday. the over
lures came to nothing. because of the seven
members of the peace committee only
three were OF the Sullivan Mulligan fac
ton. The next move was the attempt to
GUST the Johnny Whites from the old Sui
Ivan headquarters. where Big Tim man
aged campaigns and gave away shoes and
dinners.
Patrick Sullivan intends 20 run for dis
trict leader In the primaries. and his friends
say he'll win easily. Charles II. Murphy
has twice asked him TO go to Tammany
Hall and talk things over. but Sullivan
refused to go.
