All That McCall Now Needs Is an

''Anti-Murphy" Testimonialfrom Croker.

Murphys desire to sit in the background ami nol

have his personality hkso« iated with the candidateswhom he has put on the local Tammany ticketmust not be imputed to any passing idiosyncrasy 01

modesty. As a leader Murphy has not been vcr\

M-lf-effaeing. He has generally (»ecu willing to casi

tie hoodoo of the Tammany Indorsement on tin

nominees "whose names came out of his hat. \\<

even Induced Judge Haynor four years ago to i»a.v

that famous sight-seeing visit t<> the OftUsd l.odg»in Kast 14th street, although t<» get there tjMJudge had to consult a cabman and several cttjdirectories.

Mr. McCall doesn't need a guide to find his wajinto the Tresence. Abandoning the public notifica

tion ceremony at which nominees for city office«

were expected to acknowledge their obligation t«.

and asscKlation with Tammany will deceive nobodvIn the rase of a man so near to Murphy's innei

councils. The Murphy nominee for Mayor wns I

member of the Iielmonico conference of eight at

which Tammany's mind for this campaign wni

made up. If in his case the notification ceremony

was dropped it was not because he was so untama

ble an anfl-Tamraanyite that wild horses could n<»t

have dragged him over the route which Judgt

Gaynor cheerfully travelled with the aid of a taxi,

cab and guide book.This is * desperate year for Tammany, and If

there are gudgeons foolish enough f» IM caught with

the pretence that. Mr. M«Cnll Is "n«> man's man"

Murphy cannot be blamed fur trying to catch them.

He would be entirely willing to pee Mr. ll«cCallelected g| an "anti Murphy man" If lluit VU the
