TAMMANY’S POSITION. ”II
Lender Sheehan Denies the Stamina-SI
Made In an Alleged Interview.
New York, July 13.—“I believe thor-
oughly in the doctrines of the Chicago
platform. I stand just where I stood
in the campaign of last year, and I have
no apology to make for taking this po-
sition.”
This declaration was made with
strong emphasis by John C. Sheehan,
leader of Tammany Hall, in conversa-
tion with a reporter today. He was
aroused to make this statement by a
report in The Sun of ~t0day’to the effect
» that J. F. Durlacher, a leader of the‘
“Bryanite Progressive league, had put
'him (Sheehan) through a typewritten
examination regarding the‘position of
Tammany and had obtained from him
answers defining fully the course to be
pursued by Tammany next fall.
“Durlacher submitted no questions to
me,” said Mr. Sheehan. “If he had at-
tempted t catechise me, he wr"ld have
left my 0%ce with a very sorz‘feeling.
The whole story is a fake except the
one statement that I stand by the Chi-
cago platform. The last time I saw
Durlacher he reported to me the prog-
ress of his league, but he made no at-
tempt to put me through an examina—
tion. I told him that I was still a thor-
ough believer in the principles for
which we .fought last year and that I
had no intention of going back on
them. I did not tell him, as The Sun ' ‘ ’
Says, what kind of a platform- Tam-.
many will adopt next fall, or whom it'-
will nominate.~ I do not make Tam-
many’s platforms or select its candi-
dates. The Tammany organization will.
.make the platform, and I could not say
just what it will be even if I desired to
give the information I can sp‘eak only
for myself in this matter, and I repeat
what I have said to Durlacher and oth-
ers—namely, that I stand by the Chi-
cago platform and will continue 2.10
so long as it is the platform of the
Democratic party.” '
A part of Durlacher’s story was to
the effect that' Sheehan had given or-
ders to the Tammany members of the
legislature last winter to do no favors
for the corporations controlled by ex-
Governor Flower and William C. Whit—
ney because these gentlemen would not
support the Chicago platform. Mr.
Sheehan said that this statement and
the rest‘of The Sun story, with the ex—
ception mentioned, were-false.
LOOKING FOB. MISS STEVENSON.
.A Girl Who Was In Nashua, N. IL, May
Be the Missing Young Woman.
Nashua, N. H.', July 13.—The young
woman in this city who was supposed
to be‘the missingGrace Stevenson of
Brookline, Mass} and who passed un-
der the name of Irene Chandler, was
not seen-in Nashua yesterday, and she
was not _today at the .place where she‘-
had engaged board. It is believed that
she has left town. This strengthens the
belief that she was-really the Stevenson
girl and that she had got a hint than
her identity Was Suspected. '
Fred R. Cummings, who identified the
girl and communicated with her family,
thinks it very strangethat the friends
of the Ste'yensonigirl did not send some
one here to identify her.
He says that they have delayed in the
matter and that if the girl has disap-
peared, and there is'no trace‘of her, it
is the. fault of the relatives, who could
have sent some one here as they prom-
ised. .
