In commenting on the visits of the
apporters OF Corrigan. Schneider, and
others. Joseph Shalleck, campaign
manager for Hines, said last night:
Naturally we welcome Magistrate
coyrgan and Mr.. Schneider, and other
Democrats cf their ability, whose scrv-
lee to the people Of the city and to
their party has been so distinguished.
But Mr. Hines has taken the position
That he cannot do the Murphy trick of
playing boss and naming ticket, A
fcket will be named, bat it will be Sc
eeted by the representatives of the en-
iolled Democrats and not in any dark
po3'
is understood that petitions for
sas4plete city and county ticket, ex-
o3ting the candidacy for the nominal
BON Of Mayor, will be filed before to-
porrow night.
The insurgents have made it plain
Fhat The fight is not against Mayor
kylan, whom they shall indorse for
Aayor. AS Leader Hines put it last
night:
A Fight Agaist Murphy
This is fight against Murphy"
At first the Murphy crowd in Tam
many Hall, which is not so powerful
Is 1t once was, took no notice of the
reports that reached them that Hines
Kas about to wage war against Muir
phy. They thought it would consist
exclusively of Hines and his immediate
followers in the district.
Yesterday, however, the Murphy sup
porters made survey of the situation
and learned that it extended the length
ef Manhattan Island, and threatened to
include the entire city.
Immediately plans were adopted BY
sae rammany chief and his followers
% Try to check the revolt, or at least to
confine it to Manhattan. Powerful
pressure was brought to bear on lead
ers known to have joined the insuv-
gents to return to the fold. Those
Nhc were suspected of being ready to
!cin the revolt also were visited by the
lsiurphy emissaries. In many instances
tne Murphy men were told that the
turning down of Judge Talley was
sap at former Governor AL Smith. and
mat that was the last straw.
Vne West Side leader, who has
lelned the insurgents, told his visitors
luat ne could stand for Murphy pick
,ag julius Miller for Borough Presi-
2ent and naming others who were un-
AnoWn to the leaders, but that he could
nUs stand idly by while Murphy was
wsing crack at "Al" Smith.
