Leader Blamed for (Vmnlcr's Bad Defeat, and Fresh Revolt Is Said T Be Almost at Hand. Trains are "r»:r.g laid that may cause an ex piosion which will shake the "chair being held down by Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. For months the feeiins against Murphy which has existed almost continuously since Lewis Nixon a* deposed has been crowlntr, ■ until n<vw open revolt is not only threatened but is almost at hand. The final touch which was needed to force the malcontents Into open op position was the result of the election Tuesday ui«rht In the city. Although it would nave taken a wonderful Tammany majority below the Har lem to offset the lead of Governor Hughes up- State, the better element In Tammany Hall be lieves that the ticket was practically thrown down by Murphy, and that a much greater plu frallty for Chanler should have been rolled up; and on top of that was the plurality iven to Mr. Taft. which was rubbing it in a bit. Almost Maw the first day that Murphy en tered the doors of Tammany Hall a.« its recog nized MBier complaints that he wanted every thing for himself rd that no one else had a chance have been rife. This dissatisfaction de veloped a few abortive attempts to overthrow Murphy, but they only resulted disastrously to those STB appeared openly in them. A leader that had a harsh -word to say against tfc» bJe chief simply ceased to be a leader, one ■sray or another, that was all. The leaders in the present revolt, the first real one of any magni tude, have acquired wisdom by watching the unlucky fate of those who went before and are keeping under cover until they can set off the mine successfully. The grounds for revolt to a large extent are the same as those of the pre vious rebels. This revolt is not composed alone of disgruntled district leaders who think they are not getting a fair share of the patronage and recognition of their merits, but has permeated the rank and file of Tammany Hall— the solid business men in its ranks and those who. -while they have r.ot held cr Is not hold official posi tion in the councils -day. are still a great power -within the organization. "There must be a reorganization of Tammany Hall," said one of the leaders last 'night. 'That has b*>en apparent for a long time, and now things are practically at a head. The rough shod way in which Murphy did the steam roller act at Carnegie Hall was bad enough, but at Derive*- it was even worse. There the New Tork delegation refused at first to consider Bryan, It was pointed out what a had tactical mistake it would be. but Murphy just said that Bryan was a good fellow and that was good enough for him. Judson Harmon, who was *?r<3-.g esoueh tr> get elected Governor of Ohio, looked to be the best man to us. but Murphy said he "*•&? for Bryan anyhow, co matter what happenedi ar.d the value of his judgment was sho-rm strikingly yesterday. So disgusted were the greater part of the delegation at Murphy that a g->od many cf them threatened to with draw ar.d "Johnny" Bheehan actually- did re fuse • 1 sit as one of the delegation. -Murphy has got hi* brother in as a real eata* dealer, and he has a pet advertising firm. No on- but Murphy's brother and this pet firm If getting anything these days. With the Su preme Court justices cf Murphy's creation, no erie el?' 1 has a chance." "Murphy may be all right." said another -well y^rrmm leader of Tammany, "when it comes to handfc-.g the city, but he Is about a.- big a fall ar . as ever had when it ------ else. H» showed the worst of judgment, to say ■the least, in the national situation, and. as far ec the state g.-v»s, only succeeded in tying us up first with Hearst and then with Conners and his crowd. The election returns last night •wed us just how much good he did ns by doing these things. Besides, he -wants everything." Other well known Tammany men. particularly advertising and realty m^n. and contractors who were sounded said that it would be only a short time before Murphy -would be forced out. By the time the mayoralty campaign begins next year they say that Tammany will have a new leader — one that does not forget the lime he col tected fares on a horse car. and will work for the organization and not for himself, "»Vith Murphy will go a large number of lead ers who:?e districts showed unexpectedly poor r^pults. By Punday night it is charged that cer tain Tammany leaders knew that Chanler would risk* a pool showing in certain districts, and that they took no measures to offset this condi tion. The whole the rani and ft!e who supported the tick t loyally are angered at these leaders, on whom they place the greater part of the blame for Chanler's defeat. The defeat of 1 'ha-. ler through poor work and Murphy's decision for Bryan and no other are being put up ti Murphy arid his. lieuttnants. DR. ARMSTROSG OCT. Bellevue's General Medical Superin tendent Resigns. Dr. Samuel T. Armstrong, general medical enpertntendent of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, tendered hi? resignation to the board of trus tees yesterday and II was accepted, to take effect immediately. Dr. Armstrong has been under suspension for some time, it is understood, and th*» trustees have been considering charges mad- against him. 11l health was given In the resignation as the cans* cf Dr. Armstrong's action. Sim-e he left the «-sty on his vacation In August he ha.<= been suffering from nervousness, it is said, and a physician who has l*-en attending him certified to his condition, saying he did not think Dr. Armstrong would t«» able to perform his duties in the institution for months to tip. The charges against Dr. Armstrong, it Is said, g-i-w out of the *a!e by him of a library, known as the "Index Medicas," to his brother-in-law, R. Jones Cobin. Jn payment of a debt, and the Fubfe^uent sal" of the library by Cobin to B"i;e rue Host ' - to l>e used by the pathological de partment. This transaction was termed a mis demeanor by the board of trustees. One of the truFiees said yestenlaj^that an ap plication would be sent to the Civil Service Board for a competitive examination to .select sn eligible li«?t from which a successor may be appointed.

Double Tragedy at Ansonia Follorcs Secret Marriage. Crazed by the unwillingness of his Hebrew mother to meet and to receive into her family hi« Christian wife, whom he had secretly mar ried a little over a year ago, J. Nelson Veit. a member of the Stock Exchange, early yesterday morning: ttole into his mother's bedroom, at the Ansonia, at 73d street and Broadway, and shot her once under the left eye and once in the side, killing: her instantly. Then, taking strange pre caution tor personal comfort during the last moments of his life, Veit carried a pillow into the bathroom adjoining and. laying hi? head upon it as he stretched faD length on the tiled floor, was soon dead from gas, which he in haled through a rubber tube. The maiden name of Mrs. J. NeJaoo Veit was Clara Jane Monroe^ and she and Veit were mar ried by the Rev. Dr. Houghton. in the Little Church Around the Corner, in September. 1907. She had been living at No 11« V.'est 47th street recently, but mnvd to the Chatsworth apart ment house, 72d street and Riverside Drive. She pays she was an actress before her marriage to Veit. Only a wall separated the victims of the double tragedy from Miss Anna v It, the young man's aunt, who, ordinarily a light sleeper, did not hear the two prints and did not know of the murder until she went to Mrs. Veit's door at 9:45 o'clock yesterday morning to awaken her for breakfast Her repeated knocking bringing no response, «=he gave the alarm, and the body of Mrs. Veit was found on the bed. That Veit's act was not premeditated was be lieved by all of his friends yesterday. At the office of Veit. Lynn & Co.. at v N*<->. 113 Broadway, or" which firm he was a member, no on* knew of the tragedy until a reporter of The Tribune called. The embers of the firm were astound ed. One of the men in the office spoke of Mr. Veit's wife, ■: whom none of them had ever heard. "You may say in the most positive terms," said Mr. Lyon, a partner In the firm, "that in no financial way -does the death of Mr. Veit touch the affairs of this company. Mr. ■ Veit held a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, and we shall take steps at once to fill it. ■ This will probably be accomplished within a week." "And he shot his mother?* 1 exclaimed ooie of the firm. '."I would say it impossible. Last Friday night I spent several hours with Mrs. '■. • and her son in her apartment at the An sonia. and I never saw more beautiful relations between a mother and son. Furthermore, he was always bringing his mother into conversation with me, in ways that proved his deep affection for her." Veit, Lyon & Co. began business last July. yi r Veit had been a member of the exchange for some time, -Joing business in his own name at No. ■'•-' Broadway. Mrs. Veit was found by the police in. an eight room apartment in the Chatsworth. Before she had been told that her husband was dead, fhe acknowledged to the police that she had been married to Veit. She had never met his mother, she paid. She also said that she did not know whether his mother had ever been told of the marriage. she had been away from New York practically all the time since he r marriage, she said, not returning to this city until the first of last month. Since that pc she and Mr. Veit, ■* said, had been living together. She said her husband had left her about 7:.'iO o'clock on Tuesday -light and had telephoned about .-..■■ o'clock, saying be was at the Waldorf watching the election re turns, but would be home In about half an hour. U was the last word she had received from him. Miss \'ett told the police that twice she had spent the night with Mrs. Veil sleeping in the same room. On Tuesday night, she said, Ehe slept in t:.* roum formerly occupied by the son. She went to the apartment at 7:30 o'clock and found Veit and his mother there. About .10:30 o'clock, she said, V .it telephoned to some one— ?h*- did not know to whom— and then luncheon was served. . • After that Veit departed', and the two women talked over their plan 3 for the coming winter until about 11:46 o'clock, when they retired.

Bryan, in an informal talk to a number of friends who called on him to-day, expressed his pleasure at the result in Nebraska, ar.d the satisfaction af forded him to learn of the election of so many of his poiitVa! and personal friends. A delegation numbering nearly a hundred from Lincoln visited him at Falrview to ex press their confidence and devotion, and to as sure him that such was the sentiment of a majority of the people of hi- city and state. Mr. Bryan In response said I am highly gratified over the results in this stat".

The defeat apparently did not weigh heavily on Mr. Bryan. He was one of the most cheerful of those at his home, and laughed and joked with his visitors. To-night he was the, chief guest at the banquet of the State Teachers' As sociation, where h> made a short address. SEVEN IN AUTO SMASH. New York Woman Fatally Injured —Others May Die. Albany.

"WARNER (REP), MICHIGAN. -MARYLAND FOR TAFT PI.VKAUTY IS 136 VOTES. Possibility Thai State's Electoral Vote WiU Be Divided. [By T>l»*raph to The Tribune.] Baltimore. Nov. 4. — The political pendulum has swung once more, and to-night, on the face of unofficial returns, Taft has carried Maryland by 13<) votes. These figures are rather unsatisfactory, be .cause of the way in which, returns from a few of the precincts of Dorchester and Worcester counties have been sent in by correspondents. In these precincts, sufficient easily to change the result, the correspondents have figured out the pluralities instead of sending in to their papers the number of votes cast for each candidate. Unquestionably, the official count, which is to begin to-morrow, must be looked to for, the actual result, and neither side will feel convinced until the result of that count is made known. There must be taken Into consideration, too, the possibility of a divided electoral delegation. as. while figures are lacking, it is known that the votes for the several electors have varied, and this variation may prove material. The returns from the counties have caused the greatest surprise. When most Baltl inoreans went to bed la^t night it was in the belief that Mr. Taft had carried the- state by a plurality in the neighborhood of 3.000. , It was long past midnight when he returns from the countie3 began to cut down this apparent lead. Indeed, as late as 5 o'clock this morning there was no sufficient reason for believing that the Taft plurality would fall below 80rt. But the early morning returns continued to reduce it, and finally, aft^r some fluctuations, it appeared to be wiped out altogether. '■The News" in it- last edition this evening gave the ■.ir- to Bryan by 332. But still later returns showed a reaction of small but potent proportions To-night every, precinct in the state has been heard from, and from all but about a dozen the full figures on Bryan and Taft have been received. From the others have come, as stated, the pluralities for one or the other as figured by the local correspondent. Using these figures. T.ift's vote in state and city combined Is 111. 254 and Bryan's 111.118. • In this city, with all precincts reported, Taft has 50.882 and Bryan 49,082, giving the city to the former by just 1.800. But here, again, the official account may change the apparent result. Throughout the state the votes polled by the Prohibition. Socialist and Independence party candidates made only a trifling total. The figures are not obtainable to-night. Indeed, all returns from this election in Maryland have been unusual diffi< ult to obtain. While the Maryland delegation in Congress remains unchanged in political complexion, it Is changed In personnel. Kronmiller. Repub lican, replaces Wolf, Democrat, in the third district, and Covington. Democrat, succeeds Jackson, Republican. In the Ist. Th.- great sur prises appeared In the heavy reductions in the majorities of Congressman Mudd in the sth District and Congressman Pearre in the Oth. Covington's plurality in the Ist District is (un officially) £872: Talbott's, in the 3d, -,4>B: Kronmiller's; in the 3d, 311; GUl's, in the Ith. 'J.<V'..".; Mudd's. in the ."ith. .'{."4. as compared with 3,134 two years ago, and Pearre's, in the 6th. 4.V.. as compared with 4.454 two years ago. The vote throughout the state was heavy.

He also wanted to know about another number of the party who. he paid, had b«-en picked up by a passing b^at and mken to a hospital, be believed, in Richmond. He said he understood the men who were drowned belonged in Keypt.rt. The police had no report of any such accident in the bay. TAFT 309 VOTES IN ELECTORAL COLLEGE Maryland for Republican Ticket by 136 Votes — Missouri Still in Doutt. NEW YORK GIVES TAFT 20 1 ,8 1 4 Indiana Safe for Taft, but Democrats Win Governor and Senator- West Virginia Republican. William H. Taft, of Ohio, as President-elect, will have a vote of at least 309 in the Electoral College. This is within sixteen votes of the forecast made by tional Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock and 67 mere than a majority out of rhe total electoral vote of 483 Missouri is still in doubt, and should present indications 1 confirmed by later returns the state will go for Taft by a small plurality. This would give him 327 votes. The latest returns indicate that Maryland, after vacillating during the day and apparently being safe for the Democracy, has been swung into the Taft column. The unofficial figures give Mr. Taft the state by 136 votes. New York State rolls up a plurality for Taft of 201.814. Governor Hughes wins by a plurality of 69,633. Indiana and West Virginia, as well as Montana, are safely Republican. Colo rado went for Bryan. Mr. Bryan has a certain total of 156 votes, Missouri being doubtful In 1904 Mr. Parker received only 140 votes, in 1900 Mr. Bryan received 155 votes and in 1896 the Nebraskan received 176 votes. Mr. Taft's 309 electoral votes compare with 336 received by Roosevelt in 1904, 292 received by McKin'ey in 1900 and 271 received by McKinley m 1896 The Republicans will have about the,same working majority in the 61st Con gress as at present, and Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, undoubtedly will succeed himself as Speaker. Representatives Jesse Overstreet. of Ohio, and Hepburn, of lowa, are the most conspicuous among these who have failed of The heavy vote in Ohio made figures extraordinarily late, owing to the im mense size of the ballot. Mr. Taft earned his own state, however, by 50,000 plural ity, a reduction of more than 200.000 from the Roosevelt vote of four years ago. The Democratic state ticket, headed by Judson Harmon for Governor, appears to be safely elected. The state Legislature, which is to choose a successor to Senator Foraker. appears to be in doubt as between the Republicans and the Democrats. In Indiana Mr. Taft was successful in carrying the state by about 8.300. but the entire Democratic state ticket, headed by Mr. Marshall for Governor, was elect ed. The Congressional delegation from the state shows a gain of seven Demo crats. The returns from West Virginia, owing to the mountainous character of the country, are slow in coming in. A sufficient number of counties and districts have been heard from, however, to showthat Mr. Taft has a safe paan The latest returns indicate that in the national House of Representatives the Republicans will have 217 members and the Democrats The Senate will stand 62 Republicans to 30 Democrats :f dM De— teats, as seems probable, have carried the Legislature in Colorado and the Republican Legislature in Oregon elects Chamberlain (Dam), who led the por "ary.
