New Vork, May 7.—The executive committee of Tammany Hall will meet tomorrow to choose a leader to suc ceed the late Charles F. Murphy. Decision to call the meeting Is said to have been caused In part by the widening gap between Mayor Hylan and the Wigwam. The desire to present a solid front to reinforce Governor Smith's presi dential boom was another Members of the dominant group are reported to have hope that Surrogate James A. Foley, son-in-law of Mr. Murphy, will consent to take the lead ership. William Randolph Hearst, who has been reported to have Inspired Mayor Hylan's statement opposing Foley's selection, dpntes that he h^s any candidate. Ho made this statement: "I do not know anything about the Internal policies of Tammany Hall. “I certainly have no candidate for the leadership of Tammany. "I have no interest In his selec tion except that, as a citizen of New York, I hope that this powerful poli tical organization will secure an able and honest leader who will con duct it in harmony with modern progressive principles. "Mayor Hylan has shown what such honest, progressive leadership means for the success of the party in New York city and for the standing of the New Vork democracy through out the country. “Tammany need not be a political stench in the nostril of the nation. It could be a great and admirable in fluence for genuine democracy. "I don't know who the leader should be: I have no suggestion to make, but T hope the selection will be a wise one."

Washington, May 7.—The senate agricultural committee today heard James Martin Miller's version of the telegram recently produced before the committee in which he quoted Presi dent Coolldge as "trying to deliver” Hie Muscle Shoals power project to Henry Ford. Miller declared the president was correctly quoted in the telegram. De spite White House denials and subse quent repudiations of the story by. Ford's secretary, he said he "correct ly and truthfully” stated the facts in his message to Ford's secretary af ter his talk with the president. A letter from Ford stating he would not be represented further before the committee was read liy Senator Nor ris. It stated that Ford objected to the efforts of Norris "to reflect upon the integrity of the president in con nection with the Muscle Shoals offer.” Senator Norris told the committee he intended to continue his efforts to save the valuable resources of the country for the people, adding that ford's letter was "an attempt to shift the attention of the public from tire real issue." * The question of ending the hearings on the Ford offer will be determined by the committee tomorrow.
