TOBE GAMBLING HOUSE
Justice Backs Police Guard on
MURRAY Hill Organization.

The Murray Hill Republican Club, Of
the 27th Assembly District, clung 20 its
name when il went over to Roosevelt
in 1912. It may not change II even
now. after Supreme Court Justice Dele
hanty has asserted that it is not a
political organization at all. but q
gambling house.
Some time ago information came TO
the police that the club was spending
more time in drawing to straights than
in discussing political conditions. In
srector John Daily ordered a patrolman
placed on guard in front Of the build
Gag. Members Of the organization OBJ
gected TO this. and applied 20 the Su-
preme Court for an injunction restrain
ing the police from interference with
the clubs activities.
In refusing the injunction yesterday
Justice Delehanty said: The proof
submitted by opposing affidavits IS
clear and convincing that the plaintiif
club Is not run as legitimate politi-
cal organization, but rather IS conduct
ed and maintained as a gambling
house"
