OH ARIES WW, PAST TAMMANY , IS DEAD Indigestion Cause of Demise Was a Powerful Factor in .uemocrai ic Party Councils. New York. April 25. Charles F. Murphy, grand chieftain of Tam many hall and for many years a powerful factor in democratic coun cils of the state and nation, died to day of heart failure induced by acute indigestion. A product of the East Side's pic turesque "gay house district." he had. first with fists and then with brains, fought his way from the stokehold of ward politics to the quarter deck of party fame and fi nancial fortune. In a span of sixty-six years he had been poor man's son. ward heeler, bar tender, saloon keeper, office bolder, financier and finally local di rector and national adviser to hin party. He had graduated from the sol -riquet of "Fists Murphy" thru that of "Hurly-Burly," "Sport." "Silent Charles" and at the last "C. F. M." the initials by which all know him. although few of those who obeyed his commands ever had seen him. And always, from merest youth, his name and that of Tammany were linked together. He retired last night after a busy day and a hearty dinner, to be awak ened this morning by feverish chills and the pangs of indigestion. Char acteristically he insisted upon break fasting at the usual early hour. Im mediately he became alarmingly ill and died a few minutes later in the presence of his physician, a priest, his daughter Mabel and her husband. Surrogate James A. Foley. Long Linked with Tammany The taciturn genius, who had ruled the destinies of Tammany hall for twenty-two years s8 successor to the late Richard Croker. remained con scious to the end. unaware that death was near. He submitted do cilely to the hypodermic injected when his physician recognized that cDllap3e was imminent and his only comment was of surprise that indi gestion should have awakened him. and that his heart caused him pain. Mrs. Murphy, who was in Atlantic city. was. summoned home. Altho her husband died before she could entrain, she was not aware of it un til she was met by friends at this end of the journey. Tammany hall was the first to learn that death had invaded the home of its leader near Gramercy park. Th party's Big Wigwam on Fourteenth street, half-staffed its flag and went into mourning. Party chiefs and Tammany workers' as sembled from all otlying wigwams to pay tribute to the memory of their lead r and speculate as to his successor. Police and traffic re serves controlled the throngs that gathered about the old-fashioned mansion where he died. Coming at a time when Tammany hall girded itself for a strenuous presidential campaign and so soon after his protege. Governor Alfred E. Smith had formally entered the lists for the democratic presidential nomi nation. Mr. Murphy's death was mourned by high political leaders as a party misfortune, if not an actual calamity. Fears in some quarters that Gov ernor Smith's aspirations would be seriously handicapped were offset, however, by assertions of Murphy's team mates that the leader had schoo'cd hid organization so perfect ly and laid his plans so carefully that his death would have no detri mental effect. Tammany's greatest concern to night was the choice of a man big enough to carry on where Murphy left off. A meeting of the executive committee hastily was called to dis cuss the situation, although it was understood that p new chieftain would not be named until after the funeral. Mrs. Vaunie Black was in Omaha today for a few hours looking after some matters of business. Miss Marie Kaufman was among the visitors in Omaha this morning, returning home this afternoon. Mrs. J. P. Falter departed this morning for Lincoln where she will visit for a few days with her daugh ter. Mrs. Emma Falter Smith and family and enjoy the opportunity of visiting with ftiends in the capital city. Miss Jessie M. Robertson was among those going to Omaha on the early morning Burlington train to day to spend a few hours there look ing after some matters of business. W. C. T. U.
