FUGITIVE’S LAWYERS PUT HIS FATE UP TO HIMSELF ‘Will Leave Him Free to Be Deported or Will Fight to’Stay in Canada, as He Chooses. Because four of the men who aided Harry Thaw in bie escape from Matteawan have not been paid in full and Richard J.

Harlem Wednesday evening, riding in the automobile of Dr. Emi! Muller of No. East One Hun- dred and Twentieth street, was received to-day in the shape of @ souvenir post- card from Boston, signed by one of the Party. It is assumed that they went to that clty in the doctor's car and no- tification will be sent to the Boston po- Hee to pick them up. James Murray, twenty-one, of No. 316 Fast One Hundred and Twentieth street, chauffeur for Dr. Muller, took away t! automobile without his employér's knowledge. His companions when he left were Adolph Nehers, another chauf- feur; Annie Murphy, sixteen years old, of 09 West One Hundred and Twentieth street, and Katie Ryan, sixteen years ol4, of No. 168 East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street. The party started for Coney Island. Elsie Werner, weetheart of Nehers, recelved the postcard from him this morning and hastened to show it to the mother of Annie Murphy, who has been almost distracted. Katie Ryan haa two robust brothers who re intent upen taking.a hand in vigorous proceedings as goon as they can locate Murray and Nehers. STARTED WITH AUTO TO ROUND UP A PARTY. Murray was sent Strachman's garage Wednesday aftetnoon about & o'clock wit instructions to put up the car and call at the doctor's home next morning @s uaual. The eh four ran the car into the garage for a few minutes, and was then seen by em- ployes of the catablishment driving away with three young girls in the ma- chine. Apparently these girla got a ride of only a few blocks, for about 6 o'clock Murray drew up his empty car in front of the home of Adotph.Nehers. nineteen years old, another chauffeur, at No. 453 East One Hundred and Nineteenth street. * Nehers was heard by his mother talk- ing with Murray about taking a ride to Coney Island and getting some girls to go along. Nehers called up his partieu- lar friend, a girl named Elsie Wi hers then saw the two young a drive off with another young man in the car. Her son waved to her at the window and shouted that they were going to take @ little spin, When 1913. 10 PAGES PRICE ONE CENT.

When the convention ascembled—and it was the biggest and mont carnest Tammany City Convention held in many yeare— there bad developed a surprisingly strong sentiment agaiuet Judge Be Call om the ground that he fs tee close to Tammany and Murphy, and an equally surprising demand for the renomination of Mayer Gayner. Murphy was ashed to concent te an adjournment of the convention until Monday, im order that the leaders may have time te sound the sem timent of their districts. It was pointed out to him that every newspaper iu New York except one declared against MeCall to-day. Mr. Murphy refused to listen to anything but his own wishes. He said that McCall would be the strongest candidate. With his personal backing in the organization, it looked as though he had the whip hand when the convention adjourned at 4.15 o'clock for one hour after lis- tening to a speech by Chairman John F. Galvin. METZ REFUSES NOMINATION ON TICKET. Herman Metz, the slated candidate for Comptroller, served notice on Murphy before the convention assembled that he wouldn't accept the’ nomination. Murphy sent for him and insisted that he should go on the ticket. John H. McCooey of Brooklyn added his persuasions. Metz held out as long as he could, but the Murphy lieutenants announced that he would run. Ex-Congressman Joseph A. Goulden of the Bronx was substituted at the last minute for George M. S. Schultz as the candidate for Presi- dent of the Board of Aldermen. Mr. Schultz positively refused to go on the ticket. John ¥F.
