MURPHY SAYS THA GLEVELANO GAN WIN Tammany Leader, Just Back from Washington, Says the Wigwam Is Committed to no Boom, but He Shows Friendly Regard for Former President Denies the Story that He Expressed Opposition to Judge Parker Because He Is a Hill Man—Too Early, He Asserts, to Pick a Candidate. Leader Charles F. Murphy, who returned from Washington last night, ponsented to talk on National politics to-day at Tammany Hall. “I did not declare for any man for President while in Washington,” ne @aid, “Reports to that effect are incorrect. I did repeat a remark I made fome time ago, that if Grover Cleveland were nominated he would be @lected. I did not declare for Mr. Cleveland nor say who Tammany was willing to support. Tammany is now resting. It Is too early to pick the candidate at any rate.” “Did you say, as reported, that you were not for Judge Parker because he was a Hill mau?’ “I did not say I was for or against Parker, and I have no'intention of committing myself to any statement or any candidate at present.” “Will New York present a candidate to the National Convention?” “I cannot say now. I have no hesitation in saying, however, that this Btate is now in the sure Democratic column” “Have you heard of booms for any particular man?” b “Oh, yes” emiling. “I heard about a lot of booms, but I aid not do any booming myself. The fact is that Democratic sentiment hes not cen- tred in any candidate for President yet. It is useless to make predictions @t this time as to what the National Convenion will do.” When asked who would be the New York Delegates-at-Large to the rooms, and as these good things are gen- convention Leader Murphy said: “That has not yet been decelded.” He would not say that he would be numbered among those Delegates, Mr. Murphy was emphatic in his denial thet dissatisfaction had been cocasioned in the organization because of the lack of patronage and the manner the patronage at Tammany’s disposal had been doled out. ee et - DRIFT IS FOR PARKER, SAYS NORMAN E. MACK oer cee er Norman BE. Mack, of Buffalo, member of the National Democratic Com- mittee for New York, called at the City Hall to-day and was received by Mayor McClellan. Mr, Mack explained to the reporters that his visit was purely social. ‘When asked about politics, Mr. Mack said he had met a large number of prominent Democrats at Washington during the session of the National Committee and formed the opinion that the country at large was disposed to allow New York to name the Presidential candidate this year. Mr. Mack, “and all agreed that New York would produce the next Presi- dential candidate. There were advocates of Cleveland, Gorman and Olney, ‘but the preponderance of sentiment was in favor of Judge Parker. I can- not imagine from what I heard that a dark horse will be trotted out at the last hour, but no one can tell at this early date. I have no preference or leaning toward any particular candidate. I do not know who Leader Charles F. Murphy favors, He keeps his own counsel without offending any.” “WE WILL WIN WITH A DARK HORSE.”---BRYAN. 8T. LOUIS, Jan. 15,—William J.

HIT BY “GOOD THINGS” RUN OFF AT NEW ORLEANS. Tightening of the Reins by Rates by Western Union Were; Final Blows. Rob Davis, who has conducted the biggest pool-room business in New York, rooms are closed and it # probable that he will take a vacation until the open- ing of the real racing season, As told in The Evening World a few days ago, Davis has lost $500,000, approx- ima this winter. Every “good thing” at New Orleans or in California has been played in his rooms, and with the Davis books it has been a case of all going out and nothing coming in. Bank roll after bank roll has been ex- terminated, When Commissioner McAdoo ordered the reins tightened on the pool-rooms Davis figured that it was about time for him to close up.

Policeman William V. Ryan, of the Broadway Squad, stationed at the crossing leading trom the Waldorf-Astoria across Thirty-fourth street, heard the noise of the team’s approach, and saw it coming half a block away. The crossing was crowded with women and children and Ryan had to think in a hurry.
