Murphy Will Not Nominate for
Governor Man Who Once
Upheld Becker.
"HIGH-CLASS" MAN SOUGHT
Tammany Chieftain Has Word as to
Wood row Wilson's Desires, and,
Having Eye on Future, Is
Inclined to Yield.
BY LlOTD F. LOXEBGAX.
XEW YORK. Aug. 0. (Special.)
The bullet that killed Herman Rosen
thal, the gambler, also Inflicted a death
wound upon the political fortunes of
William J. Gaynor, and even he real
izes now that he cannot and will not be
nominated for Governor, despite the
fact that Murphy some months ago
promised him that he should succeed
John A. Dix.
It must be said to Murphy's credit
that he seldom breaks a promise. In
the present only the most fanatical of
Gaynor'a friends blame the Tammany
Boss for going back on his word. They
realize that with Gaynor as standard
bearer the state campaign would be
fought out on the issue of Tammany
Hall and the police system, and the
result would be almost certain defeat.
Gaynor is now much in the position
of the parrot who suddenly awoke to
a realization of the fact that he talked
too durned much. Gaynor has written
too many letters. He bitterly assailed
Rosenthal in letters to Waldo and for
bade the Police Commissioner to sus
pend Lieutenant Becker. In fact, the
Mayor woke up only when Becker was
indicted at a night session of the
grand Jury and locked up without bail.
Voter Are Skeptical.
The Mayor's friends are going about
now declaring that it Is preposterous
to say that he had anything to do with
the system. This may be true, but
they cannot make the ordinary voter
believe It. Gaynor has defended the
leading lights of the system so vocif
erously that many folks are mighty
suspicious.
"I believe Gaynor is honest," said one
Tammany leader today. "In my opinion
he has simply been fooled by men
i" round him. But it would be Just as
sensible for the organization to run
.lack Rose or Becker as to place the
Mayor on the ticket.
Murphy has communicated the sad
news to the City Hall. The Mayor has
been informed that the best thing for
him to do is to squash the boom which
was started some time ago, and be
glad that he has another year to serve
in his present office. Murphy will con
trol the state convention, and he does
not want to have Gaynor'a name even
whispered there. The Tammany Boss
has troubles of his own, and he knows
the police scandal will be enough of
an issue without any loud cheers for
the man who made it possible.
Under present conditions Murphy Is
veering around to Dlx again, and un
less there Is another quick shift In
plans the Governor will be renomi
nated. Still, as the Tammany Boss has
already changed his mind twice, an
other alteration would not be surpris
ing. Brnnrl'a Name Also Recalled.
When Murphy prepared his state
ticket two years ago, he was in no
manner sure of election. That was
why he selected Dix. an upstate un
known, believing that by so doing he
could partially remove the curse of
Tammany. With success at th. polls.
Murphy brightened up immensely, and
the word went out that Dlx" successor
would be John A. Bensel, State Kngi
neer and Surveyor. Last year the
voters took the lower house at Albany
and the Board of Aldermen away from
Murphy and would have removed other
things from his grasp If they had had
the power. In consequence. Murphy
saw a great light, and the Bensel
boom died a sudden death. Dlx has
grown unpopular and Murphy, regard
ing Gaynor as the best vote-getter in
the organization, informed the Mayor
that he was to be promoted. Every
thing was running along in fine shape
when the police department blew up.
Vow Gaynor Is a political lost soul,
without friends or a future.
Murphy s far from being enthusi
astic on the subject of Dix. He re
gards the Governor as a "weak sis
ter" who would like to be an inde
pendent but has not got the nerve.
At times Dlx has been against Murphy,
at other times he has been with him.
In fart the Tammany- boss has wasted
a great deal of time in making the
Governor "act sensibly." But, as Mur
phy says to his friends:
"What else can we do? At our con
vention In Syracuse we mean to point
with pride to the work of the Dem
ocratic state administration. How can
we do that If we turn the head of our
ticket down?"
Murphy does not explain why he Is
interested in appearances now, when,
up to a short time ago, he was ready
to eliminate Dix, first In favor of
Bensel and then for Gaynor. The ex
planation is. according to well-informed
politicians, that the Governor
and the boss have come to terms. Dix
promising that If re-elected he will be
as good as any humble district leader.
Aatl-DIx Men Form Party.
The announced Intention of Murphy
to stick to Dix has caused a great
uproar. Already the Empire State
Democrary has been formed with its
chief object apparently the scalping of
Dix. Its members has organized a
"state party." and have served notice
on Murphy that conditions call for the
selection of a man who is not a Tam
many puppet. Furthermore, they are
threatening to bolt if Dlx is named.
The "Two Toms" of the state ad
ministration are also uttering loud and
unhappy cries. These individuals are
Thomas Conway of Plattsburg, Lieutenant-Governor,
and Thomas Carmody
of Penn Yann, Attorney-General. Each
had hoped to be the next Governor and
they are stirring up a lot of trouble
wpstate. where their homes are. Mur
phy is much more interested In them
than in the Empire State Democracy.
-H-? regards the latter as a bunch of
soreheads and takes comfort in the re
flection that they seldom vote the
party ticket anyway. Carmody and
Conway, however, are old party lead
ers, and have followlngs. Should they
leave the reservation it would have a
considerable effect on the vote. There
fore. Murphy is trying to soothe them
by telling them that everybody will
be renominated, and that "next time"
well, who knows? .
The "Two Toms" reply that they are
apposed on general principle to a "next
time." They know what they want and
they want It now. and they object
most strenuously to remaining in their
present Jobs.
Murphy's friends believe he will
Mick to Dix. for there is really noth
ing else to do. He does not truRt
Carmady or Conway, believing that
either one is ready to head an anti
Tammanv revolt if the conditions look
promising. So far aa Dlx Is concerned.
Murphy is confident that he will be

able to manage him. He would pre
fer a city man, one he could abso
lutely rely upon to stay hitched, but
conditions are not favorable, and no
one knows it better than does the
Tammany Boss.
Woodrow Wilson has declared that
he Is keeping his hands off state fights,
but it is an open secret that he is
much Interested in conditions here. So
far as known, he has not communi
cated with Murphy in any shape or
manner, but the same cannot be said
of his friends. The Wilson "herald is
United States Senator O'Gorman, and
he has told Murphy that the Presiden
tial candidate's advisers would appre
ciate a high-class state ticket. O'Gor
man Is against Dix, and favors some
active upstate Democrat who would in
spire confidence. Murphy, while lis
tening to the Senator, nas noi inai-
cated what he will do, but sends word
back to Seagirt that the field is still
open.
Murphy Would Avoid fr'ignt.
Murphy naturally does not want a
fight with Wilson. He hopes to land
some good Tammany men in Govern
ment positions if the Democrats are
successful in the National election. On
the other hand he Is opposed to placing
at Albany a man who will cut his
throat, and would far rather see a
Republican Governor than an anti-
Murphy Democrat.
Here is the situation as it sianas i
present:
Murphy is wining 10 oniise no-
row Wilson, and will nominate anyone
whom the candidate's friends may sug
gest, providing that he has assurances
that the organization will be taken
care OI. in me iuua i v " v"
ttons. Murphy will renominate iix on
the plea of party expediency, and do
his best to elect- him.
Tammany men generally agree wnu
their leader, although mey are ir
from being pleased with the outlook.
They regard Dlx as a weak candidate.
but hope he win sup in i.e.."c
the split in the Republican party. For
as one of them says:
"It Is far better to lane a
Htv. weak man when you know he
will be good to the organization, than
it is to have a cinch with a strong
chap, who has the knife all ready to
cut your throat. Politics is a business;
it is not an amusement.
And everyone will admit that there
Is mighty little amusement In cheering
for a cold-blooded individual like John
A. Dix. Governor, by the S"""e ot
Murphy of the State of New "Vork.
RIPLEY STAYS WITH ROAD
Santa Fe President Calls Railroad
ing His Recreation.
t nc ivfiFi.FSl Ca.1.. Aug. 6. E. P.
Ripley, president of the Santa Fe sys
tem, makes an emphatic denial of
rumors that he soon would resign,
which have been agitating subordinate
officials for several days.
"I am not going to quit." asserted
the railroad chief. "I have not been
fired. Railroading is my recreation as
well as my business, and I shall stay
at it as long as I can." '
A throat affection which has trou
bled the veteran official for some time
probably formed the basis of the rumor.
TAR WANTS ACTIO
Congress Asked to Provide for
Operating Canal.
FREE TOLLS LATER ISSUE
President Says Differences of Opin
ion Should Not Delay Legisla
tion on Questions Xot In .
Controversy.
WASHINGTON, AUg. 6. President
Taft today in a special message to
Congress urged Immediate enactment of
legislation to provide an operating
force for the Panama Canal, the gov
ernment of the canal zone and the fix
ing of maximum tolls. The President
indicated that the question of free
passage to American ships might- be
determined later.
"The discussions and differences of
opinion which have arisen as to other
phases of canal policy," wrote the
President, "should not in my opinion
be allowed to delay action on these vi
tal and pressing subjects."
The canal bill, amended, is now be
fore the Senate.
The Panama Canal bill was taken up
by the Senate today. Senator Brande
gee declared he proposed to keep it be
fore that body continually for final
action.
Senator Thornton, Louisiana, a Demo
crat, In the opening speech, held that
the United States had the undoubted
right .under the British treaty to ex
empt American coastwise trade from
the payment of tolls.
Senator Jones of Washington also
advocated the remission of tolls to
American ships.
"The United States has assumed all
obligations for the neutrality of the
canal." said Senator Jones, "and it can
hardly be held, therefore, that the equal
treatment guaranteed to other nations
applies also to this nation."

Joined by the entire police force and
marched to Masaya, about 12 miles to
the south. Some of the police have
since returned here.
The revolution rapidly extended. Gen
eral Mena established his headquarters
at Masaya and tried to enter into an
alliance with the liberals, and espec
ially with the followers of the diotator,
Zelaya, against whom he fought two
years ago.
A letter was captured by the gov
ernment troops on August 2, which
was signed by General Mena and sev
eral prominent partisans of Zelaya. It
was addressed to certain liberal lead
ers of the Province of Leon.
The allies captured two boats be
longing to the American company which
operates the service on the Great Lakes
and also seized the American railroad,
taking possession of one locomotive and
a number of cars. They tore up a
portion of the track near Masaya. The
trains, however, under American man
agement, continued running on their
regular schedule to Corinto.
Federals Are Victorious.
The first engagement between the
government troops and the rebels oc
curred at Tipltapa, on Lake Managua.
The government forces were victorious
and held the place. Several wounded
men were brought to Managua.
It - was reported on August 3 that
the rebels were about to attack Rlvas
and San Juan del Sur, and the govern
ment sent troops from Managua on
steamers to San Juan del Sur for tho
protection of that port and its customs
house.
The United States gunboat Annapo
lis, which was at Corinto on August S,
landed bluejackets and sent them up
to the capital.
Long Struggle Feared.
On the arrival of the American sail
ors here they found all quiet and or
derly. Business continued during the
day, but at night military patrols
marched about the streets.
Recruiting continued and it was
feared If the liberals rose a long strug
gle would ensue. American Interests in
tho customs house and the National
Bank have remained safe.
Telegraphic communication with the
south is entirely Interrupted, but re
mains open to Corinto and Blueflelds.
Martial law was proclaimed throughout
the republic on August 3.
TAXIS ARE CHEAPEST
Attempt to Abolish Hotel Buses In
Seattle Canses Queer Prices.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 6. (Special.)
From the King-street passenger sta
tion to hotel at Second avenue and
Stewart street. In a taxicab. 25 cents.
From the King-Street station to the
Arlington Hotel, four blocks nearer, in
a hack, because the taxis are "busy"
standing in line at the station, $1.60.
This Is the scale of prices a recently
arriving state official, tried in vain to
break through.
Eight other hotels could have had the
state official as a guest at a 25-cent
rate.
Investigation reveals that the dis
crimination in transportation charges
is due to an effort by the taxi owners
to force all the hotels of the city to
abolish their free buses.
Clark's District Renominates Him.
MONTGOMERY. Mo., Aug. 6. Speak
er Clark was renominated for Congress
in this, the Ninth District of Missouri,
at the primaries today, without oppo
sition in his party. This makes nine
times the Democrats of this district
have nominated the Speaker.
