than that welded by potentates and
princes, by reviewing the results OF
Tuesdays primary elections and
learning who were to be his district
lieutenants in the coming open sea-
son for votes.

and cajoled, attacked and supported,
looked down on by some and

numbers as the Big Boss, Murphy.

1873 years that Tammany society or
Columbian order has been in exist

In his time Murphy has faced the
bitterest of attacks both from
within and without the Tiger lair
on Fourteenth street He has with

adopted from the policies Of those
great political bosses, silent Dick
Croker and blind Chris Buckley OF
San Francisco, is the policy Of
silence. .-

his comments to the writer today

Constantinople, Sept. 20. = (By
the Associated Press. THE Turk
ish Nationalist assembly at An
CORA, by an overwhelming major
ity, has extended the dictatorship
of Mustapha kemal Pasha and has
authorized him to continue the
war until all the conditions pre-
scribed in the National pact have
been fully achieved.
London, Sept z0.-By the Asso-
ciated Press. )-Official confirma-
ton was received here today from
Constantinople stating that the
French had withdrawn their troops
from Chanak and that the Italians
were apparently doing the same
thing. The British force is remain
ing alone at that point.
France, Britain Agree.
Paris, Sept. 20.-An agreement
between Great Britain and France
on the near eastern problem SEEM
ed reasonably assured after q two
and one-half hour conversation be-
tween Premier Poincare and Lord
Curzon, British foreign secretary,
at the French foreign Office this
forenoon.
Lord Curzon is understood to
have informed M. Poincare that
Great Britain would insist on the
absolute freedom of the straits OF
the Dardanelles. The British for.
eign secretary, is said, however, ia
have intimated that the British
military effort in the near east
would be confined to the navy
which gave rise to the impression
that the British troops would soor
be withdrawn from Chanak.

tion that Mustapha Kemal Pasha Is
i preparing to launch an attack fo1
the possession Of the Dardanelles
in spite of the exhortations Of Gen.
eral Pelle, French high commits
sioner, is causing undisgut5ed anxi-
ETY. in allied military circles in the
capital.
1t is not improbable that such an
attack will be made before the end
of the present week it is stated, the
Turks taking advantage of the fact
that the British have not yet con-
centrated all their forces.
One Of the evidences Of the Brit.
ish determination to resist the
Turks is the fact that many Brit
ish subjects. including the families
of officers. are leaving the city
showing that they believe the fight
ing imminent.
British win Oppose.
The kemalists are in dangerous
proximity to the neutral zone, and
a forward movement on their part
will meet with stern opposition
from the British.
The American torpedo boat de-
strOyer Simpson has arrived here
bringing more American eye-wit-
nesses of the Smyrna fire. All
agree that the flames originated in
tho$Armenian quarter of the city
and assert that the evidence
strongly indicates that the Turks
wilfully started the fire.
American sailors on patrol duty
declare they saw Turkish soldiers
setting houses afire and applying
torches to heaps Of rubbish in the
streets.
