BONUS BILL.
SENT To president:
VETO IS EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The sol.
der bonus bill was sent to Presi.
dent Coolidge late today from the
capitol where legislative action was
completed with the signing Of the
measure by President Cummings, of
the senate. -''
The measure reached the White
House within a few hours after the
president had sent a message to the
senate announcing he had vetoed the
Bursum pension bill because it
would add many millions of dollars
annually to the cost of government
A reading of that message
strengthened the belief long enter
tanned by number of senators that
Mr. Coolidge will veto the bonus bill
The executive will not take imme-
diate action, however, as the meas
ure first will be sent to the treasury
for an estimate of cost and the views
of Secretary Mellon. Later it prob
ably will go to the veterans bureau,
in which it's administration would
be lodged.
Should the president return the
bill to congress without his APP
prevail, an effort would be made to
pass it over his veto and the propo-
nents in both the senate and house
assert that they can muster the re-
quired two-thirds vote.

TA|N|NANY ROCKED
BY BITTER STRIFE
OVER NEW LEADER

NEW YORK, May 3.-Rumblings
of dissension among members of
Tammany Hall over the choice of a
chieftain to succeed to late Charles
F. Murphy today assumed the pro-
portions of bitter controversy, with
Mayor Hylan leading opposition to
the nomination of Surrogate James
A. Foley, son-m-law of Murphy, and
favorite candidate Of the "old
guard"
The mayor, in a formal state
ment, not only voiced his opposition
to the selection of Surrogate Foley,
but also lined up with district lead
ers in the fight to have one of their
number chosen successor to Muir
ply Surrogate Foley is not a dis
trict leader. The mayors words
were generally interpreted as an
open challenge to Governor Smith
and Thomas F. Foley, chief repre-
sentatives Of the Murphy faction.
Announcement yesterday by
Thomas F. Foley ex-sheriff and
righthand man to Murphy, that he
considered Surrogate Foley the most
likely candidate for the Tammany
leadership, elected the mayors
statement Of opposition. The former
sheriff was quoted as having said
that Mayor Hylan's views should
be consulted, however, and that he
should be asked to name a favorite
in case Surrogate Foley declined
the craftsmanship.
"It would be a grave mistake for
a surrogate to leave the bench,
where he is getting salary of ST.
500, to take up the nonsalaried lead
ership of an organization, the may
or declared today. Can the de-
mocracy of New York county or
Tammany Hall successfully con-
tinue with such a handicap?"
Friends of Governor Smith here
made it plain that he would main
tain a "hands-off" policy, although
he is Tammany sachem.
The election of Murphy's success
sor will be held next Wednesday.
