The magistrate was closeted WIN
MAYOR Mitchell for some time yesterday

Charles F. Murphy's alliance WIFE
William Randolph Hearst has star.eo
a revolt that will not cease until lhs
former is ousted from the leadership o.
Tammany Hall, according to the opinion
EXPRESSED yesterday by men hign III Id
Auence on Fourteenth Street;
As told in The Tribune THURSDAY
Tho agreement with Mr.. Hearst to oacH
him for the Tammany nomination loi
Mavor was made between the leader 81
Tammany Hall and the publisher some
six months ago. According TO well IN.
formed Tammany men who are IN reVol'
at this alliance, the differences oet"eeN
Hearst and Murphy were frst pa'chet
up in 1914 by Martin h. Glynn, theI
Governor As the result OF Governor
Glynn's efforts Hearst stopped MS at
tacks on Murphy and Murphy agreed
10 be OF what service he could I:
Hearst, it was said yesterday.
Two More Leaders to Quit
Two Tammany leaders said yesterday
that thew were but waiting the op
nortune time to follow the lead o.
Thomas E. Rush, Democratic leader oil
the 29th Assembly District, who ten.
dered his resignation as member OF
the executive committee last Saturday
and is now out against Murphy.
These leaders, however, are not VIII
SON men, as is Rush, who is Surveyor
of the Port of New York. And wher
thew announce their position, as they
will do before the Mayoralty campaign
is we'll under way, they will go further
than Mr.. Rush and declare themselves
for Mayor Mitchell.
"Mitchel." said one leader, will bt
reelected by an overwhelming vote
Neither Hearst nor Hylan can stop him
Whether Hylan is Hearsts stalking
horse is no concern of mine. If elected
Hylan would move the City Hall over
to Brooklyn, and that would mean the
passing of the sceptre from Murphy u
McCooey."
One of the leaders who declared his
intention to quit the Wigwam pre-
dcted that within a fortnight one OF
the biggest men in Fourteenth Street
and one of the most prominent can
didates before the Tammany Fusion
Committee for the nomination for
MAYOR, will announce his support OF
Mayor Mitchell.
"And he is not a disgruntled one,
said the Tammany Hall leader. "His
name was used without his pren,is-
sion and il was the intention OF MT
Murphy and his advisers 70 keep him
and his followers in line. But they
like the Clan Sullivan, will go over
to Mayor Mitchell, not that they care
particularly for Mitchell, but they
want to see Murphy and what he
stands for destroyed
what is the real reason for the
objection 70 Mr.. Murphy" this lead
err was asked.
"They are many" was the reply.
"The chief reason is that Murphy is
for Murphy first, last and all the
time, and the party means nothing to
him. He has his country estate at
Good Ground, where only the elect may
see him, and he feels he is Summing
when he goes to Fourteenth Street, so
he holds his conferences in New York
at Delmonicos.
when Sulzer was elected Governor
he had visions of the White House, and
decided he would steer his own course,
and so told the Boss. But Murphy told
the Governor it was a case Of taking
orders or getting out Of public life.
Sulzer defed the Boss, and Murphy de-
cided he would have the Legislature,
then overwhelmingly Democratic, i'm
peach him. told him it would be sui
eide. So did everybody else. | mean
suicide for the party. But Murphy had
his way.
McCarthy's Attitude
There is no finer type of organiza-
ton Democrat in this city than Tom
Mccarthy, United States Marshal. You
remember when the Tammany fusion
committee held a sort of mock open
house for all corners two weeks ago,
Mccarthy got up and said that to nomi-
nate certain men would be the greatest
mistake the party made since the i'm
parchment of Governor Sulzer Nc
Carthy's view of Suffers impeachment
is typical of the opinions of other men
in the hall. Since Suffers impeach-
ment the Democratic party in this city
and state has been dead, and it will
remain dead until the man responsible
for this blunder is gotten rid Of"
