Charles F.. Murphy, Tammany
leader. was at the Fourteenth street
headquarters yesterday. Worried be-
cause they are unable to reach the
Governor-elect and to get any salts
faction regarding Jobs. the politicians
took their troubles to the chief. That
was as far as they got Mr.. Murphy
told them to hand in their applications
and Endorsements and he would send
them along to AL" -a
Tammany isn't quite the happy fam
fly one would expect to find after such
a victory as was recorded last election.
There are mutterings of discomfort in
the wigwam. Mr.. Murphy Is not lining
UP the Jobs the way s'the boys" ex-
pected. 1t Is next to impossible for the
faithful to break through the line at the
Eiitmore Hotel and present individual
cases. There doesn't seem to be any
thing like the patronage many expected,

The Governor Is taking his pro-
spective task seriously. :. After few
