Another Is that he attracts port to Tammany and keeps it in Jlne. But there Is a fine distinction drawn by the experts who control the Tammany or· ganlzation between the. Governor as a caudidate and the Governor as a leader. ) Lcw,-\rs W ant II ylan The prediction most frequently heard in Tammany drcles IS that if the Governor sets himself up against the district leaders, who really control the destinies of the Tammany organization, he will come a cropper. Tqe majority of these district leaders are in favor of nominating Mayor Hylan and do not care who knows It. Most of these men believe that they can put the Mayor over regardless of th.e wishes of the Governor. The Governor knows this as well as the next well-posted man In the organization.\ He showed It In submlttlng the report of the McAvoy transit Inquiry to the Legis- lature. In Indorsing (he findings of Justice Mc- Avoy the Governor \ook occasion to pro· ject some extraneous Issues, which vir· tua.lly neutra.llzed the harshness of the report, and thereby gave much aid and comfort to the Mayor. The reason ascribed for the Governor's acUon was that he correctly appraised conditions in the Tammany organlzatlo\1 which Is by nO means antagonistic '0 the Mayor. Whether Ihls InterprelaLlon of the Gov- ernor's posilion I~ corre\t Is less 1m· portant than the effect ot It. Until the Governor submitted his views the mao jorlty of citizens of New York, regard- less of poIltlca.1 divIsion, bel1eved that ho would wholly and solely Indorse the Mc- Avoy findings. which lo<i\ged with the Mayor full responsibility for \the intol· erable conditions\ deseribed by the Gov· ernor In appointing the Justice. There was natura11y great surprise when the Governor did not stop with his Indorse- ment of th\ McAvoy Hndlngs, but pro· ceeded to say a eomfortl.ng word for MI'. l;Iylan. GovcnlOr :Sov~r Tallmia.ny's Boss The result of the Governor's unexpected \straddle\ on the transit scaI}dal has been most pronounced In Tammany circles. For one thing It has strengthened the beUer that the Mayor w1ll walk away with the. nomination nnd that the Governor will not Utt a hand to stop him. If he should do otherwise, there Is every reMon to justify the belief that there will he a nne ruction In Tammany. and tnat tne (lovernor might get the worst of It. 'I'he fact is that Tammany has never regn.rdf!d the Govprnor as a. leader. in 'the sense that Charles F. Murphy, Thomas F. Foley, the late Tim Sullivan. and other men of lhe same type wert! leaders. \'hUe the Governor has had .hls own 'way as a candidate, he has ~'et to score a. distinct victory as a leader. HIS relation8 with George W Ol .... any. \Who was splE'cted to succeed Charles F. Murphy, have to date been most amicable. Mr. 01, an~' has dIsplayed political ability of hlJl:h order and an unusual degree of tact In handling ihe Fourteenth street 'Vigwam. He enjoys the tullest confidence and support of the twenty-thr~e district leaders In the organization, and of their election district henchmen. Comments in professional Tamm<!ny clr· des about him are most llatterlng. He Is described as an eloquent and ~ympa.· {hetlc Hsten\r cautious In expressing his Personal opinions, and finally adopting the very safe position of being ,guided by the wishes of th\ majority. His relation8 with Mayor Hylan are both dlgnlHed and (friendly. . He Is most zealous in looking after the ~\ of the officeholders under the A'j· ministration. Ho probably knows better than anyone else the extent of the 'hold the Mayor seems to have obtained on the affections of Tammany m'm through the pay roll route. Whether Mr. Olvany Is In fa,or of re- nominating the Mayor Is something only he himself knows. ',. Up to date he has pursued an abso· lutely safe OOUl'se and Is expected to con· tinue doing so. The old·tlme leade~s like Keating, J<'ar· ley, Burkan, Dooling, Mc:M:anus, Donnel· _lan, Kenneally\ Cruse, MeGue, Goodwin. F'lY)ln and Culkin have placed themselv~ solidly beltind him and are expected to ,remain there. Augustu~ Thomas was an honorary T .... ill- bearer, retu'e:;entlng the drnnltlsts.
