NEW YORK. April 25. Chas.
F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall
died today.
lie died at 9:30 o'clock
morning at nis residence at
East 37th street.
Murphy succeeded ths late Rich
ard Crocker as chieftain of the coun
try's rnoet famous political organis
ation. He was a native of New York,
having been born here June 20.
1858.
Acute Indigestion was the cause
of death.
Murphy appeared In excellent
health last night according to his
secretary, Daniel J. Ryan.
Household servants related that
the Tammany leader complained of
suffering chills when he aroBe at 8
o clock this morning as was his cus
tom. At 8:30 he breakfasted and
almost immediately afterward be
came 111 of Indigestion. He also
complained of pressure over the
heart. Murphy's valet summoned
Dr. John E. Herrlty, who lived
nearby; Father Lawrence A. IIogn
of the Roman Catholic church of
the Epiphany; Murphy'a daughter,
Mrs. James A. Foley and her hus
band. A glance convinced the physician
that the patient's heart had been
stricken, that he was in great pain
and near death. He waa given an
hypodermic stimulant and put to
bed. Ten minutes later, be died,
with tbe priest, Surrogate and Mrs.
Foley. Dr. Herrlty and the servants
at his bedside. He remained con
scious up to the last moment
The Tammany leader always tac
iturn, remained so up to the time
of his death. To the doctor who
found him In the bathroom In ag
ony, the man's greatest concern
seemed to be one of surprise that
he should suffer from indigestion
and or Impatience- that his keart
should seem to be affected. He did
not suspect that his Illness was fa
tal. A street car driver who became
leader of tho most powerful politic
al organization In the world and as
such played a prominent part in the
namlng of mayors and governors
and nominees for the presidency
such Is tho life story of Charles F.
Murphy. Although denied the ad
vantages of education because of
family circumstances, he showed
qualities of leadership early In life
and from boyhood had been a lead
er of a circle of one kind or anoth
er. In all of tbem he was uni
formly successful, a result that may
be said to have been due to his loy
alty to friends, his shrewdness and
his secretive manner. He never dis
cussed his plans with any except hla
closest lieutenants and rarely spoke
ror publication. When he consent
ed to he Interviewed he usually
covered what he bad to say In a
sentence or two. As a result he
came generally to be known as "si
lent Charlie." Mr. Murphy's politic
al leadership began in the elrh-
eenth assembly district In 1892
hen he became district loader af
ter the death of Edward Hagen.
From that time tbe rise of the fu
ture leader of the democratic party
In New York was rspld.
After Robert A. Van Wyck as
sumed office as mayor In 1898. he
named Murphy commissioner of
dorks and ferries. The Van Wyck
administration was the last under
tho leadership of Richard Crocker.
CrltlcUm of the city government
continued throughout the Van Wyck
administration, culminating In the
appointment of the maiet committee
by Theodore RooBevolt, then gov
ernor, to investigate various de
partments, especially that of the po
lice. Crocker relinquished the lead
ership In the spring of 1901 and
went to Ireland.
That move eventually provided
the opportunity for Mr. Murphy to
become leader, although not consid
ered as the Immediate successor of
Crocker. Lewis Nixon, who had
been named chairman of the first
committee which carried with it the
leadership but he resigned before
