The action of the Tamarora Club, an
anti-Murphy Democratic organization
or the Ninth Assembly district, in bolt
ing the Tammany slate and coming
out in support of the Curran-L Lock
wood-Gilroy coalition ticket has caused
considerable commotion In political
circles and great deal of uneasiness
in the ranks of Mayor Hylan's sup
porters and the forces Of Tammany
Leader Charles F. Murphy.
Many other Democratic clubs
throughout the city. including some
Tammany organizations, have factions
which are bitterly antagonistic tc
Murphy, and ii was said last night
that these factions intend to make
every effort to induce their organiza-
tions to follow the lead of the Tama.

night. "He will have a large plurality
here. I find considerable feeling against
Mr.. Murphy and the Hyian ticket in all
parts of the city. My neighbor Hines
carried this district in the Democratic
primaries when he ran against Julius
Miller. the Murphy choice for Borough
President OF Manhattan. His plurality
was about 35o."
