HINES STARTS FIGHT
TO PUT MURPHY OUT
Tammany District Leader Will
Enter Primaries for the
Borough Presidency.
PLACE OPEN TO TALLEY
Insurgents Plan to Put Full
County and Borough
Ticket in Field.
PLACE OPEN TO TALLEY

The rumblings of discomfort in Tam
dictated the municipal ticket several
days ago developed yee' erday into al.
open revolt, which, it " ) insisted last
right. presages an effort to oust MUIR
ply from control Of the Wigwam. The
leader Of the insurgent movement is
James ]. Chimney Hines, Demo-
cratic leader Of the Eleventh Assembly
district, Manhattan. who was dropped
outside the Fourteenth street breast
works couple of years ago after he
was instrumental in getting Murphy
into the famous glucose deal with
Louis N Hartog. who later sued Muir
ply for $4,000, 900. and out of which
transaction grew an indictment of the
Tammany chieftain.
Hines announced yesterday that he
will enter the Democratic primaries for
the Manhattan Borough Presidential
nomination against former State SEN
ator julius Miller, Murphy's designee,
and will put out a complete county
and borough ticket and possibly a par
tial municipal slate. The main idea, In
any event, will be an effort to end the
career Of Murphy as boss of Tammany
Hall.
Joseph Shalleck has been named as
Illness manager for Borough President
and will open headquarters Tuesday IN
the Hotel Continental. 1t is the plan OF
Shalleck to rally to Illness standard all
| the Tammany Hall contingents who are
dissa t,sfied with the manner In which
Murphy has lorded II over the wishes
and Judgment Of other leaders. OF whom
! there are said to be no inconsiderable
number and virtually all OF independent
Democratic vote.
1t was announced yesterday that
Judge Alfred Talley. who was kicked out
of a redesignation for the General Ses-
sions bench by Murphy. has been offered
the General Sessions place on the Hines
ticket and that Magistrate Joseph Cor
rigan has been asked to take the desig-
nation for District Attorney. Neither
had accepted last night. The name Of
1 William SCnneluer, NeW ioih S0uhsJ
Clerk, was under consideration for desig-
nation to succeed himself. Murphy re-
fused to redesignate Schneider
Hines will give his support to Mayor
Hylan on the municipal ticket because
OF his stand for a five cent fare. Moth
4 ing has been decided concerning whether
Hines will be willing to stand for Comp
troller Charles l.. Craig to succeed HIM
self. and for Murray Hubert. Commits
| soner OF Docks, who Is Tammany's
choice for President of the Board Of Al
dermen. 1t was regarded as not sur
prising IL Hines decided to put candi-
dates In the field against both.
Manager Shalleck stated that Illness
petitions are already out, and that when
completed will contain the signatures OF
between $4,000 and 10000 enrolled DEM
ocrats--not restricted to Illness district
but from all parts Of the city. He pre-
dicted that Hines will carry twenty-five
OF the twenty-three Assembly districts
in New York county.
| Shalleck also predicted that Hines
would find a surprisingly large number
Of other Tammany district leaders
noclsing to their support. The fact. is,
he said. that great many of the
leaders are thoroughly disgusted with
the czarlike methods of Murphy.
Hines expressed his view of Murphy
as follows:
"The people are disguised with
Murphy's high handed methods. and
are ready to show their resentment.
Nobody in the organization knows this
man Miller. Murphy's pick for Borough
l President 1 would not go into the field
to beat him IL he had been a loyal
member OF the organization or had ever
done any thing for the party. 1t would
be interesting to know why Murphy
selected him"
! Although the growing strength and
independence of Hines In the Eleventh
district had irritatcd Murphy for some
time previously. the rear break between
the city and district leaders began with
the glucose incident. After that Murphy
tried TO break Illness grip on the dis
trict and throw him out Hines licked
Murphy at every turn. He has twice
beaten him In elections. the last time
being last year when Murphy put UP
Senator Abraham Kaplan to defeat
Hines for leadership Of the district.
Hines mopped UP with Kaplan by vote
OF more than three to one.
Despite the selection of Hines for
Leadership by so overwhelming popular
choice, Murphy has consistently ignored
him and refused him any patronage,
prcferring to keep up a skeleton machine
In the district under the leadership OF
John Il. Calvin. This will be the nrst
time that Hines has challenged Murphy's 5
power outside his district.
