DELL SUMMONS CITY LEADERS 10 CONFER AT ALBANY Both He and the President Said to Be Worried Over the Situation in this City—Roosevelt Cannot Carry State, Says Leader Murphy. (hat President Roosevelt is fully alive to the acute state of politics fn New York and that the Democrats have high hopes of carrying the State next year is shown by the political developments of the day. The Governor, who is undoubtedly in the confidence of the President, | Ys:in conference at Albany with practically all of the leaders of the ma- phine in New York County. Charles F. Murphy announces that the Republicans have no chance | pither to carry the State for Roosevelt or to elect their State ticket, and advices from excellent sources indicate that David B. Hill has shelved his | personal ambitions and is bending every effort to secure indorsements | throughout the country of Judge Alton B. Parker, Out of the Albany conference is likely to grow an out and out all ‘nvinter fight for the control of the Republican machine of New York County. (Zt ts well known that Gov. Odell is not satisfied with the way it has been managed. He has made that plain in two speeches in thic ity. Neverthe- ‘less Senator Platt and the present management are strongly intrenched. Before the first of the year’ the chances are the President will be into New (York politics up to his collar ‘button. During his absence from New York at Hot Springs, Va, and Washing- ton, Charles F. Murphy has met Democratic leaders from all over the (United States. From what he has been told by them he has come to be- lleve that the sentiment of the country is that New York can be won for the Democratic candidate, and he believes it himself. Upon what exact tacts he bases his belief he will not say, but he appears. to-he ag.confident tS he was when he predicted that Coler would carry the city by more than 100,000 and that McClellan would be elected by close to 70,000. HILL WORKING FOR PARKER, Senator Hill is credited with seeing in advance that McClellan would be | ‘lected and that McLaughlin, his old-time ally, would be overthrown. With this conviction, it is said, he started long ago to write to prominent men in ‘the South and West with whom he has influence in order to get them into Mine for Parker, figuring that if he got enough outside support in this direc- ition the Tammany and Brooklyn crowd would be compelled to fall into line, If, he can dictate the nomination, should it be deemed advisable by the “Democratic convention to nominate a candidate from this State, the Murphy- McOarrren-Mack-Herrick-Weed combination would be compelled either to in- dorse Judge Parker or bolt to some one else. Half a dozen Republican district leaders from this city were in Al- Ybany at noon and others were due on the afternoon trains, By night it 1s expected that there will be a majority on hand to confer with the Governor. It was denied in Albany to-day that the Republican State Headquarters swill be moved from the Fifth Avenue Hotel to the Republican Club, The oh Governor also denied that he was the instigator of the plan to call early ‘primaries in up-State counties, Mr. Murphy’s statement about the Republican chances was made in con- i versation with reporters at Tammany Hall» The Republican local and State eituation was touched upon. “Roosevelt,” remarked Mr. Murphy, “appears to be anxious. He ap- ‘pears to have his doubts about New York, and he may well have, because he ‘thas no chance of carrying the State. Neither has the Republican State ticket chance to get through.” “Upon what do you base this belief?” he was asked. G4 ¥S SITUATION CAN’T CHANGE. i “]’ll make that known later,” was the reply. ‘The situation exists now and they can't change it. They have two leaders. I wish they had a dozen. The more the merrier. Too many cooks spoil the broth.” }. Murphy was asked about the report that Tammany leaders were to be relegated to unimportant commissionerships in the McClellan city gov- ernment. “] see no reason why district leaders should not get the preference even for the more important commissicnerships,” responded Mr. Murphy. “They are elected by the people as the members of Tammany Hall's Pxecutive Committee. Many of them are able and efficient men, capable of handling _even the largest of the city departments. If I had my say, I would give the best of them the preference.” Mr. Murphy refused to discuss the tentative slates that have already been published. He said the sppointments would be made public as soon as Mayor-Blect McClellan decided upon them. It is expected that Mr. Murphy, |» Gol. McClellan, Vivtor J. Dowling and other favored men in Tammany Hall! 3 will meet in Atlantic City within two weeks and that the full slate will be decided upon and given out there.
