F. Murphy arrived here this morning
io take personal cha>'^e of the oif;ani-
zaiion forces in today's c:t. -us, wh.ich
may prove the crucial battle of the
long fight to elect a Cnlted Slates sren
ator. Foremost among the the reasons
why the r(*giilar democrats wci> anx
ious to break the ileadioc!: today
the proximity of .April -tth. and the as
sembling of the sjiecial session of con
gress. The legis-lators feared popular
criticism w'ould follow a failure to
send a new senator to Wasliington in
lime to .give New ^'ork its full repre-
seiitat ion.
A second reason w as the o .ert ur(^s
the republicans ate niaking to the
democratic insurgents and the threat
of the latter that the tpiei-tion is not
settled today they will acceiit reimb
lican aid to elect an "independent
democrat" hostile to'rainmany Hall.
The inconvenience of ct)nducting
legisaltion in the tem])orary (piarters
to which the members have been driv
en by tlie fire at the capitol and the
expectation that if the deadlock was
settled ioda\ a riM'C'ss could be taken
until the re.^tilar senate and assem
bly chambers were ’’.’ady for use made
for hoi)e of a settlement at once.
'I'he caucus tliis morning was .ate
in assembling.
Soon after Mr. .Murph.' s arrival a
report was circulated that suiireuie
(•(jiirt .justice, .lames .A. O (lorman, ol
New York, was the latest n-nme to re
ceive serious consideration by tiie
oiganization leaders.
After ar conference with .Mr. .\Tiirphy,
! Senators Ferris, of Ttica. and Saxo of
: .\'ew York, the hitter an insurgent,
! went to tiie home of Senatoi’ Rooseveii
jto sound the insurgent leader as to
whether the name of ,Jnstice 0’(lorman
wt>ul(l be an acceptable addition to th«
Ii.'t to be considered at. tlie caucus. ,
Twetity-lwo insurgents were asseni-'
Ided at Senator Rtxtsevelfs housaj
when Saxe and l-’erris arrived. Afteri
a short discussion they turned downi
tile (> tiorman proposition until the.V^
(.•ould look uj) liis record.
The insurgents declaring that theTi
could muster enou.gV. strength to pre
vent O’Corman’s eleclion al today’*
caucus. On this proposititm they ex«(
peeled aid from some of the Sheehan
men who have threatened to join th«;
insurgenls in riM'iisin.g to caucus it tU«(
oi.!.aui:ation insisted in forcing U Uor-
nian's name upen them.
At 10:;jj the or^aui/.ation leaders
were in coufcTence with Mr. Murphy.
'I'he confereiH'e in Mr. Murphy’s!
