He was given a hypodermic stimulant and put to bed. Ten minutes later he died, with the priest, surrogate and Mrs, Foley, Dr. Herrity and the servants at his bed- side. "He remained conscious up to the last moment. The Tammany leader, always taci- turn, remained so up to the tgme of his death. To the doctor who found him in the bathroom in agony, the man’s greatest concern seemed to be one of surprise that he should suf’er from indigestion, and of impatience that his heart should seem to have been affected. He did not suspect | that his illness was fatal. | _Mrs. Murphy was at Atlantic City | when Mrs. Foley wired nher that Ar. | Murphy was very ill. Murphy, according to his close as- sociates, had been making eluborate | plans for furthering the governor's | candidacy for President and had made rrangements to go to French Lick Springs for a series of important con- ferences with various Democratic leaders, What effect, if any, his death would have on the governor's candi- dacy was something that no one in authority here would venture opinion. News of the leader's death caused profound grief at Tammany Hall Members, answering the flood of in- quiries, were in tears. Pushing Smith Campaign. The death of Murphy came at @ time when he was actively engaged in promoting the campaign of his old friend, Gov. Alfred E. Smith, for the democratic nomination for President. The chieftain had a warm personal regard for the governor, who also has been prominent in the inner affairs of Tammany for many years.

Murphy. Although denied the advantages of education because of family circum- stances, he showed qualities of lead- ership early in life and from boyhood had been a leader of a circle of one kind or another. In all of them he was uniformly successful, a result that may be said to have been due to his loyalty to friends, his shrewdness s secretive manner. He never scussed his plans with any except his closest lieutenants and rarely spoke for publication. Whenever he consented to be interviewed he usual- ly covered what he had to say in a sentence or two. As a result he came generally to be known as “Silent Charlie.” Lendership Began in 1892, Mr. Murph political leadership began in the eighteenth assembly dis- trict in 1892, when he became d trict leader after the death of F ward Hagan. He had built up a large following in the distriet and it was id that Hagan owed his posi- tion as leader largely to the influence and financial support with which rphy backed him On his death- Hagan named Murphy as his suc- or, and from that time the rise of the future leader of the Democratic party in New York was rapid. Named City Ofcial. After Robert A. Van Wyck assumed office as mayor in 1898 he named Mur- phy commissioner of ducks and fer- ries. The Van Wyck administration was the last under the leadership .of the late Richard Croker. lor several years prior to the election of M: r Van® Wyek the government of W York city had been subjected to se- | vere criticism, finally resulting in.the | appointment of the Lexow committee to make a complete investigation into the affairs of the eity. nsational | testimony had been antic ated from Mr. Croker, but before the comm began its ' hearings the Tam leader went to Ireland, purchased estate and remained there nearly three vears. Croker returned to resumed his place as Tammany lead- er to manage the Van Wyck cam- paign. Criticism of the city govern- ment continued throughout the Van ‘Wyck administration, culminating in the appointment ‘of the Mazet com- mittee by Theodore Roosevelt, then governor. to investigate variois de partments, espe 1y that of the po- lice. Croker relinquished his leader- #hip in the spring of 1901 and again went to Ireland. 2d- New York and Murphy Gains Chance. That move eventually provided opportunity for Mr. Murphy to be- come leader, although not considered as the immediate successor of Croker.
