HAD HE SAID THE WORD | NEW YORK WOULD HAVE WON Threw a Wet Blanket on the Boom the Moment of His Ar- rival and Tip Was Passed that | Plea ‘Would Be Only a Bluff. | (Gpecial to The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—New. York could have had the National Demo- cratic Convention had Leader Charles F. Murphy and his Tammany Hall Committeo heen sincere in their efforts to got it. Although some pretense was made that New York was a bona-fde competitor for the prize, when Mr. Mur- phy arrived a tip was passed quictly aiong that whatever might be done before the National Convention should be accepted in the nature of a bluff; that New York Democrats were more interested in the candidate than in the date and place of the convention. ‘When the New York members of Con- Brews assembled at the Shoreham the belief was expressed by them to Mr. Murphy, ex-Mayor Van Wyck and other members of the New York Committee that a little hustling was all that was necessary to win for New York. Leader Murphy, however, expressed the same sentiment he uttered in New York, that the Democrats of this city did not need the convention as a stimulus to Demo- cratic enthusiasm in the Empire State. His words were few, but the effect was great. Every bit of enthusiasm died out at once, and although it was @ecided to have’ McCarren and Van ‘Wyck present the claims of New York it was clearly understood that their efforts were to be purely perfunctory, Attitude Plainly Shown. Although Mr. Murphy denied to The Evening World that he was opposed to the convention coming to New York, but was heartily in favor of it from a commercial point of view, his attitude here showed plainly that while he rec; ognized the necessity of doing some- thing for New York business interests, the political considerations were the first thing in his mind. If Mr. Murphy had said New York warited the convention, and had insisted ‘upon {t before the National Committee, there {s not the sightést doubt that the convention would have come to New York. The failure to secure it rests with Murphy and his Tammany committee. It is learned here thet John D. Crim- mins wonld have appeared before the committée and offered subscriptions to an amount far in excess of that offered by elther St. Louis or Chicago, but he would not act except on a wire from Mr. Murphy that the Tammany leader was in thorough sympathy with the movement. He said that on fhursday last, apd no word was received by him up to Monaay noon. Futile, Mr. Crimming Saw, Mr. Crimmins apprised a great many members of the New York Business Men's Committee that It was futile, in the face of such opposition, to make any further effort, and the business men held off and permitted the Tam- through ts TELL AL SECRETS Counsel for Husband Who Had Her Marriage to Charles W.

Ex-Judge Fursman, counsel for Mrs. Clemence Cowles Doditt-Morse in the later phases of her matrimontal entan- glements, repeated his statement to-day that a new suit for absolute divorce from Charles F, Dodge, her first hus- band, would be commenced at once, based upon pew ‘pyidenge. gf impropri- eties on his part since the former sult in which she was awarded a decree of divorce by Justice Nash, and which was set aside as an alleged fraudulent divurce, “I was not allowed to do, what I wanted to do,” said Justice Fursman, “and begin proceedings to reinstate decree of divorce granted to Mrs. Dodge by Justice Nash on Referee Wood's report in July, 188, and set aside by Justice Clarke; Dec. 4, as 2 divorce fraudulently obtained, and there was nothing else to do but to sue again, “I don't know anything about the ap- pearance of a New York lawyer in New Orleans and the service by him upon Dodge of papers in this case.

PNEUMONIA NOW LEADS ALL IN MORTALITY. Killed 9,691 New Yorkers Dur- ing 1903—Has Even Out- stripped Consumption in Its Ravages, Run-Down Condition of System the Cause. Every Day Sees 550 Residents Sent to Bed by the Dread Disease. Pneumonia now kills annually more New Yorkers of all ages than any other disease. It has become a worse scourge than consumption. The revised figures of the Health Department, just completed, show that there were 9,691 deaths from pneumonia in New York City during the year 1903. Reckoning the mortality in pneu- monia at 15 per cent., under modern methods of treatment, the total num- her of cases of pneumonia in the city of New York would now annually | approximate 64,600. One-half of these cases occur in the four months Da- cember, January, February and) March, so that the present monthly average of cases is at least 16,000. 4,000 Cases a Week. In round figures, 4,000 New York- ers go to bed with pneunonia every week between Thanksgiving Day and Easter. Every day sees on an average of 550 new cases of the dread disease.
