Measure Introduced
Late Last Night.

MURPHY UNDISTURBED
Senator Makes Haste TO Offset
Move TO Reduce Assembly
Representation.


Albany. April 1.-The elimination
Of half dozen Republican district
leaders and perhaps the same number
Of Democratic district leaders will re-
suit from the passage OF bill creating
new sldermanic districts for New York
County. which was introduced in the
Legislature tonight By Senator Ogden
Mills.
Under its provisions tn. number
OF aldermen in the greater city
will be reduced from seventy-three to
sixty-seven. II is expected, however,
that the four other boroughs will bring
in plans Of their own in time for the
sdermanic election next year.
The pending legislative reapportion-
ment. under which the Assembly rep
fesentstion from Manhattan j. cut
from thlrty-one to twenty-three is re
spousiblc for tho haste on the part OF
Manhattan politicians to put through
the aldcrmanic reapportionment Under
the bill, which Senator Mills intends
70 introduce tomorrow, twenty-seven
aldermanic districts will be created in
the twenty-three Assembly districts,
the four extra aldermen being assign
ed 10 the four Senat. districts which
contain only two Assembly districts
each.
Wipes Out Two Districts.
Both the sth and the Sd Assembly
districts will be wiped out altogether
b. the new arrangements, and their
leaders will have to do the best they
can.
This means that James T.. March.
sr.. and Harry Perry in the third and
Louis Jacobson and Max S. Levine in
the eighth, practically are pocketed.
Their districts are largely thrown into
the new Eighth Aldermsnic District.
II March and Jacobson are continued
f. the Republican executive commit
tee. under a dual leadership arrange
ment. they Will DC minor factors, ana
the same holds good for Perry and
levine or the Democratic side.
Another striking example OF the wip-
ing out Of district comes rom the
layou, Of the aldermaric districts that
will be put into the new 18th and 18th
Senate districts In this case the pres
emit Goth Assembly District will be torn
10 shreds
This means practically the ehmina-
ton Of Samuel krulewitch "a the Re
publican leader and Nathan Burkan as
the Democratic leader. unless dual
system can be worked out satisfac-
torily.
In tho Is, Aldcrmsnic District Will
lam Rose and Daniel Finn, Republican
and Democratic leaders respectively,
wall continue. In the new I'd Alder
manic District the present !th Assem-
blv District organization will control.
Parts OF the present lst, Sd and 6th
Assembly districts are put IN with the
present 4th. which means that Joseph
icvinson. on tho Republican side, and
John +. Ahcarn and y. J. Scully. dual
Tammsny leaders of the 3th, will have
to make concessions or face contests.
New Republican Sixth.
Ahearn and Scully will also figure in
thc new 4th District, as will Alexander
Wolf. on the Republican side. A new
and strongly Republican 9th Alder
manic District leader is laid out for
Samuel Koenig. chairman of the Re-
publican County Committee. The new
18th District has been laid out 30 that
IL can be controlled by the 18th As
sembly District, which mean the prae-
teal elimination OF John Shea. the Re
publican leader. and Michael J. Cruise,
the Democratic leader.
Two Republicans arc thrown together
I'm the new 9th Aldermanic District,
which means the practical elimination
Of John Shea. the Republican leader,
and Michael j. Cruise, the Democratic
leader.
Two Republicans are thrown together
I'm the rev 10Th Aldermanic Distric;,
and Michael II. Blake will have TO play
second fiddle 20 Anthony Luiden. Jonn
+. Curry. tho Democratic leader, vii
remain uadisturbcd. Charles +. MUIR
phv. ON the Democratic side. and WILL
lam Hcnkel. on the Republican side, arc
undisturbed in the new 10th District,
as arc Charles I. CulHin and Albert
Kat. the Democratic and Republican
leaders in the new 81 District.
Frank J. Goodwin. Democrat. and
Benjamin Fox. Republican, now OF me

new 9Th Aidcrmanic District, while
Thomas J; MeManus, Democrat, and
Herman W. Boyer. Republican, are

District.
William Hccht. Republican. and
Stephen J. Rudy will be protected in
the new 10th Aldcrmanic District,
which will be controlled by the present
10th District. Ambrose o. Neal and
Michael j. Cosgrove will be without
trouble in The Republican and Demo
cratic lcadcrships of the new eigh-
teenth aldermanic districts which the
s2d Assembly District will connect.
Both John J. Dietz, Democrat. and
Morris Levy. Republican. will be Sc
cure in the new Goth Aldermanic Dis
trict There will be no trouble for
Charles Largy. Republican. and Nicho-
las J. Hayes. Democrat, in the new 22d
