McCarren. are counting on the enmity to the latter of the old Mrl.außhllnites to aid Tarn- May Hall in its purposes, they are frreatly mis taken. It is not that Mct^auKhlln and Phevlin and the others love McCarren more, tut that they love Tammany less. In the last campaign they took a determined stand for the rieht of the 111 If organisation to remain Indepen dent. They will now retreat from that position now. This docs not mean any reconciliation has been arranged, but that Shevlln and the others stand ready to make a defensive alliance with McCarren as aKalnst Tammany. It does not mean that MoCarrcn feels that he needs this aid at the present time. Indeed, he feela so confi dent of his ability to preserve his leadership against outside assaults through DoyU that he .locs not yet stand ready to make any conces sions to' the old ele ent in order to get its sup port. Th?re are. of course, some leaders In Brook lyn, whose personal attachment for McCarren Is not strong. In a close fight they might, per haps, be counted on to desert the McCarren standard. It is not thought, however, that Doyle can get any of these men to rally around him for dM defeat of the pro-MrCarren resolu tion that will be Introduced at the special meet ing of the executive committee to be held In the Thomas Jefferson BulMlng to-morrow night. GETTING A FIRMER GRIP. Senator McCarren passed the day yesterday in petting a firm prasp on the situation. He ■poit several hours at the Seymour Club In tM afternoon. When he left there he said that he was more confident than ever that Tammany would fni! In its attempt to degrade the Brook lyn organization. There was no doubt, he d-? i-lared. that the district leaders would make that clear by their votes to-morrow night. Mr. McCarren said he would wait until the meeting before expressing his Ideas fully. As stated In The Tribune yesterday. Controller Grout has made It clear that ho stands behind McCarren. If Murphy In hlr attempt to weaken the McCarren machine attacks any of the Mc- Carren officeholders and seeks to get them to Itsm Controller Grout will become -a factor at once. Not only will he protest most vigorously, but he will also give notice that any removal of McCarren men will be met by him with a move ■CBtSSt the Tammany RM« In the Controller's oOce. For this and other reasons the friends of MeCUTN "ay it will be Otter!? futi'.o to try to depose him from the leadership during the pres ent administration.
