FRENCH LICK, Ind. Nov 25.-Mayor
John F. Hylan, accompanied by Grover
A. Whalen, Commissioner of Plant and
Structures, Of New York City, hit the
trail for New York this afternoon, go
ing via Indianapolis. They will arrive
at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
The Mayor finished up his vacation
here with another golf lesson, Charles
F. Murphy, chief of Tammany Hall,
and several Of his active followers
standing by and giving instructions.
The Mayor seemed to catch some Of
the fine points of the game rather
quickly. He hit the ball hard and as
sured the gallery that he was driving
them out as we'll as Murphy. He and
Murphy posed before the camera in
their golf clothes. They posed singly
and with other groups, so cordial was
the party and SO invitingly friendly
the atmosphere.
Murphy went on with his game when
the Mayor completed his lesson, but
he took enough interest in the Mayors
departure to hurry in to see him be-
fore he finished luncheon and to talk
with him alone for several minutes.
No Goodness, Say Friends
When the train left several of the
Murphy group were on hand to wave
Hylan and Whalen a friendly farewell.
The bare suggestion that there was a
coolness here between Hylan and
Murphy brought denials from their
friends, who pointed out that they have
been together frequently most Of the
week.
The Mayor apparently made no head
way with Murphy or his licutenants il
he had any hope of lining them up for
William Randolph Hearst for the
Presidency. The statement was made
to-day that Hylan did not come here
with the thought OF bringing Murphy
and Hearst into She samo group
politically and that the Presidential as
pirations of the New York publisher
and OF AL Smith, Governor-elect, re-
ceived scant mention, although it ap-
peared from inquiries which some of
the Tammany politicians have made
here in the last ten days among leaders
Of the Democracy of Indiana and other
midwest states that they are feeling
out the sentiment and are very hopeful
of something being done in this sec
tion for Smith. If Hylan was laying
the lines for Hearst it may be said that
the Murphy contingent was quietly and
cautiously looking to the future for
Smith.
Calls klan Political Mask
Hylan telegraphed his secretary this
morning to keep right after the Ku-
KluX Klan and see that everything
possible is done to carry out the in
structions contained in the telegram
he sent yesterday to Police Commits
sioner Enright.
"1'he Ku-Klux KIan,' ne said, won't
even get started in New York. We will
put them out We have had other or
ganizations to fight that we're disposed
to disturb the peace and welfare of the
people We beat them, and we will put
this new organization out"
"Hylan has a new slant on the pow
ers back Of the KuKlux. He said be
believes the organization is promoted
by powerful Influences which hope to
terrorize and hoodwink the people
while they carry out their own polit-
ical schemes.
"If the old parties, or one of them,
fail to nominate Presidential candi-
date of the type of Hearst or Senator
OoHHopHb oOiic way VI LdAuGnllS d
third party in behalf of the people will
be found" said Mayor Hylan
1t was stated that no conclusions
were reached regarding the distribution
Of the municipal patronage in New
York after the first of the year. Also
it was said that Hylan made no effort
TO line up Murphy for Hearst for any
Office, and that nothing was accom-
plished toward making Smiths path
smoother in New York if he seeks its
rext delegation to the national conven-
tion. What Hylan hopes to get for his
administration when Smith becomes
Governor did not develop publicly. He
did say some complimentary words
about Smith.
81 see that Smith has written to the
Attorney General of New York request
ing him not to act on the application
of the water power interests in order
that the people may be given an OPP
portunity to develop the water power
to generate heat, light and power" he
said. "The Governor-elect is to be
