city
What viii Murphy Do?
The attention Of the leaders Of both
parties Is not concentrated upon Tam
many hall.
What is Murphy doing. Has Mur-
ply given the word for Wilson,
These are the questions that bob
up in almost every political confer
ence AT the numerous party mead
quarters these days, questions that
the men on the street is asking of
every other man on the street. And
the answer comes back down the line
from those who know the innermosi
secrets Of rammany nall
Nothing doing for Wilson; put
Your llluHeN on tiuEneS
Holds Fate Of Wilson,
Murphy, the inscwtable unforgci
ting boss Of Tammany. IS the most
important parsonage in this section of
the country in these waning davs Of
the campaign for he Is believed by
most Democratic politicians and many
Republicans TO hold the fate Of Wooe
row Wilson in the hollow of his palm.
If Murphy were TO roll MP his sleeves
and swing his mighty influence Sn be
half of the president. Mr. Wilson
would win New York city BY margin
SO large that he would be likely to
carry The entire state II Murphy
were 70 refuse his aid, the cause of
the president would be virtually hope
less in this state
Murphy Absent at Meeting
Realizing this situation keenly Mr.
Wilson has been counting Tammanv
He entertained and ad
dressed Il Tammany delegation al
Shadow Lawn recently, thought it was
remarked at the time that neither Mr.
Murphy nor any of his close associa
ties responded There have been ru-
mors OF a deal between the admins
taton and Tammany whereby Muir
phy should support the president and
the administration should not inter
tere with a Tammany candidate for
mayor of New York next year
There is no evidence, however that
snch a deal ever materiaized, al
though administration representatives
were eagerly seeking the favor Of
Murphy and were willing to promise
almost any price he might name for
his support
Fail to Show Enthusiasm
\ careful investigation of the ac-
tiyities of Tammany Hall does not dis
close any appreciable enthusiasm for
the president or any effective cam
paignng in bis behalf. If you pene-
frate the seclusion of the great boss
himself you can hear from Mr. Muir
phys own lips the assurance that
srammany is for Wilson and New
York win give him 100000 plurality"
