lenged Murphy yesterday to withdraw
his candidate, hold telephone booth
convention with himself" and enter
his own name in the primaries for
Borough President.
Mr.. Hines said he was entering the
primaries for the Democratic borough

purpose of giving to the voters an OPP
portunity 10 say whether Murphy
shall stay or go, and therefore, he said.
he desired that the Tammany boss
make the race in person, so that the
issue Nigh, be more clearly drawn.
Against One Man Power.
Though there have been many reports
that Mr.. Hines would put complete
anti Murphy ticket In the field, he said
yesterday that he would not do so. since
he did not believe in a ticket selected
by one man. II am fighting that very
thing. the one man power to make or
break" he explained. But ] will well
come the entry In this contest of all
Democrats looking to the destruction Ct
this one man power"
1t has been suggested that several
men who have come under Murphy's s
displeasure in the selection of this years

are Judge Alfred J. Talley, who was re-
fused redesignation for the Special Ses-
sions Bench; County Clerk William
Schneider and City Magistrate Joseph
r. Corrigan.
No decisions were announced from

tives of a number of Irish organizations,
including the Sons Of Irish Freedom.
Murphys selection or Hubert was de-
