I'm again on the same ticket with
Mayor Hylan. Tammany, however, will
7Nt designate the entire city ticket until
S,iter the meeting of the city-wide com
srittee at Tarhmany Hall Monday night
It was apparent yesterday that the
ssaders, probably including Mr. Murphy
ssere more than willing that Mr.. Craig
thould be renominated Some of them
fctHally appeared anxious that he be
hamed. In view of the Comptroller s
Ipen and virile enmity toward the
Eiayor, in the Board of Estimate and
Elsewhere. the sudden solicitude of the
aIammany chieTtains for Mr.. Craig
paused somewhat of surprise in poli+-
aes circles. The Tammany men then
$sves had no explanations to offer.
Other political leaders, however
pointed out that the Comptroller was
#spected to be the first witness before
~ Never Legislative Committee when
1ablic hearings are begun and saw an
4fort on the part of Tammany to rem
2kr the Comptroller as kindly disposed
Il possible toward the city administra-
asan. 1t was suggested, too, that Mr.
surphy, in his political wisdom, would
aniher have the Comptroller running
