Sheriff Edward J. Flynn's political

Charles F. Murphy that they had the
votes to elect the Sheriff county
leader. Mr. Murphy passed out the
word. so The Bronx politicians heard
last night, to go ahead.
They say they have clinched The
Bronx leadership for Flynn by one
vote. 1t has been a long, hard fight,
kept up since Arthur Murphy died last
February. 1t may be that if Flynn
wins it. will be by half or even a
quarter Of a vote, so close is the figur-
Ing. There was a lot of politics talked
Yesterday when the boss came in from

by far the most important was that II
