The Executive Committee, called to elect Charles F, Murphy as the leader, went into session at 4.45 o'clock, ¥ John F. Carroll, who hurried back from Saratoga, went into the meet- ing to’make the fight of his life in ion to the Murphy pro- po It was announced that Carroll ‘would offer a resolution placing the control of Tammany in the hands of the Executive Committee without a gingle-headed leadership. Attack on Croker. This was the policy advocated by Carroll at the time the triumvirs were chosen. Carroll said he would make a speech declaring that Mur- phy waa to be chosen leader solely in the tnterest: of (@ichard Croker. Be Croker was selling his. te at Wantage with ention of returning to this country and buying an estate at Richfield Springs. ‘The Murphy men had been swarm- ing about the wigwam all day. They were much disturbed by the attitude of Carroll and his followers. Several plans were adopted and ther abandoned. It was first decided to revive the old Finance Committee, with Haffen as a member to represent the Bronx, and Finn as a new member, Haf- fen balked at the proposition. When the committee finally met the programme was to simply de- clare Murphy the leader of Tam- many Hall. It was said that Haffen would withdraw from Tammany and form ‘an independent organization in the Bronx. Cold Shoulder for Devery.

There were present Norman B. Mack, John B, Btanchfleld, Representative Griggs, of Georgia, Chairman of the Demooratic Congressional Campalgn Committee, and several other Democrats of prom- inence, Devery is worrying the up-State Dem- ocrats considerably just at present, They want him kept out of the State convention, but all are fearful of bring- ing on a bitter fight if they attempt it. They are arguing that Devery is a part * of Tammany Hall, and that It Is up to Tammany to see that he does not force himself into the State convention. When the question of squelching was ut to Mr. Murphy he jjust listened, fe sald nothing and walked away. ‘Phe Democrats from up the State want either Sheehan or Goodwin to con Devery’s election, but both have clined.
