haitian, who is running against Charles
p. Murphys telephone booth candidate
for President of the Borough OF Manhat-
tan. opened campaign headquarters yes
terday in the Hotel Marlborough, Thir-
ty-sixth street and Broadway. and laid
his plans for a borough campaign enter
ing every district. with particular at
tention to the Twelfth Senatorial which
Is Murphys home district.
Hines said he would speak IN that
district Friday night, and would speak
in the district club house II permitted
to do so. IL Murphy sends out orders
that Hines is to be denied the use OF the
club he said he would do the bcst he
could with street meetings.
Hines announced that he has an in
vitation from Sam Marks, Tammany
leader OF the Seventeenth District, 70
speak in the clubhouse OF that district.
and that he will avail himself OF It
soon.
The Judge Talley situation has made
one thing clear" said Hines, "ani that
Is that the reasons for refusing Judge
u
were not sound For. II they were good
then, they are equally good now. 1t Is
quite clear that there were no real sub
stantial reasons for Judge Talley being
\ turned down In the first place. II was
simply another instance OF Murphy
! tyrannical, despotic methods or dong
things.
when Murphy tried to destroy my
! leadership it was because OF his own
private grudge. and he was traitor &c
the Democrats of New York city Wher
he used the power Of the Democratic
organization for his personal ends.
The Empire state Democracy, whose
/ New York city council was organized
week ago, met yesterday in two sec
| tjons--the men dining at the Bankers
club as the guests OF Frank l.. Polk and
George Gordon Battle, with Herbert G
Pell, promoter OF the organization. as
guest OF honor. while the women met a.
the Hotel Commodore under the chair
nansh!p OF Mrs. William ii. Good.
The platform adopted by the won1er
stated that the Empire State Democracy
Is an organization of Democrats within
the party but who win exercise indie
pendent judgment as 10 what Ddemo
cratic candidates are best to support
regardless OF sex or so-called regu
i larity.' The ract tnat tho Disqualification
is to concern itself only with the nomi'
nation and election Of Democratic can
didates for the Legislature and STATE
| administrative offices led to speculation
that It's real purposes are to elect Al
Smith Governor and William Church Os
born Senator next year.
The adoption Of the platform was &C.
connpanied by some discontinue on thu
part OF those most closely identified witt
the regular organization when Y wa
discovered that ono plank stated that Tho
organization would not pledge itself Z
support tho regular party ticket, Tha
was regarded as all the more surprising
when it was considered that Mr.. Pell

mittee. Mrs. Henry Moscowitz made {
fight against the plank and had 1
I stricken out.
