"Unexpected Arrival of Guests
at Good Ground" Is Reason
Given for Failure of the
Tammany Ohieftain to
Meet Nebraskan.
A marked featuro of the "harmony"
dlnner of the Uatted I x-mocra* y to
William Btthnr was the aboaaca at the
Waldorf-Astoria la^t nighl of sevoral
of the party leaders. However, among
the thousand Demoerats gathered wer<*
many men of note ropresenting all fac
tions, and there were no inharmonious
Governor Wilson sent a letter of rc
gret, Champ C'lark did llkewise, and
charies F. Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall. although urge?l by his friends t?>
attend the dinner, stayed away with?
out written or verbal apology.
William Jennlngs Bryan was there,
and this was the reason openly glven
by Mr. Murphy's friends why the Tam?
many leader declded not to grace the
?aal reserved for him at the guest
table. He harked back, his friends
aaid, to the daya of the Baltimore con
vention, and refused to l'mget the In
?ulta heaped upon the New York dele
gation by the poerlees leader of Lin
coln. Neb.
(jiivernor Dlx was another guest whose
seat remained empty. and so did that
of William F. McCombs. chairman of
the Deaaocratle National Commlttee.
William Randolph Hearst was to bn
present. but reports had it that his
automobile had broken down some
where In the country and he could not
reach New Vork on time.
The or.ly mesaage received from Mr.
Murphy was one over the telephono for
the pereonal benelit of Thomaa F.
Smith, seeretary of Tammany Hi'.'l
Mr. Murphy said that unexpe'.ted
guests Lad arrived at hls country home
at Good Ground. and that he was un
ahla to leave them.
All There for Harmony.
Whatever discord there was, how?
ever, it waa well masked behind the
?rr* at array of Demoerats who during
the Prasldential campuign had been
connected with all of the varlous camps
of Democracy. Senator O'Gorman pre
slded, and seated with him and Mr.
Sulzer at the guest table were:
Wllliam Jennlngs Bryan, Senator
elect Ollio James, of Kentucky; Martlu
EL Oiynn, Lieutenant Governor-eltct;
Morgan J. O'Brien, Davld Leventritt,
Justice Edward E. McCall, Jacob H.
Bchhlj D-('ady Herrick. John li.

Repreeeatatlte Jefferaon M. Leey.
The epcakers wero Mr. Sulzvr, OUie
James, Justice McCall, Augustus
Thomas and Mr. Bryan.
Governor Wilson's letter of regr*t
was a* follows:
lt U wlth graaf regr?t that I flnd m.v
nelf unab? because Of public dutles which
are presslng up*>u me to attend the dln?
ner to Mr. Sulzer. It would afford ??
a great <1<5ai of pl?aaure to t>e pieaent
.ind t> e\preas my very hjfh regar<l
fur Mr Sulzer and my conndencr lhal
hia admliustratlon of tiie great offlce of
Governor of New York will nMound not
only to bls credlt but to tha atrenathenlag
of tha party to which be b-longs.
The feeltng of aloofneaa found an
echo at some of the other tables be
sides that occupied by tiie speakers and
guests. Lewis Ktuyvesant Chanler,
fnrmer "Lieutenant Governor. found
himself placed at a table where he did
not recognlze a single _?a known to
him. He objected. and wante<l to tlnd
a seat among m**h with whom he was
acfjuainted, but failing to Ue ao-om
modatcd, he left the dinner to satlsfy
his hunger at his club.
O'Gorman Toaats Taft.
Before lntroducing the speakers Sen?
ator O'Gorman paid a tribute to Presi?
dent Taft. Asking the diners to drink
to the happiness of the Chlef Execu?
tive of the natlon, Sonatcr O'Gorman
?'I am certain that 1 express the sen
timents of the people of New York lf
I say that President Taft wlll aajrry
the best ertaaea ter his future iiappi
ness of all the people ivgurdless of
politlcai faith."
He thea congratulated the iHtuo'
racy not merely because the party had
triumphod at the recent election. but
because ln Woodrow Wilson lt had ob
tained a President, who combined si BM
of the best qualltios of Thomas Joffer
son, Andrew Jackaoa and Abrahnai
Introducini,* Mr Sulzer, the Benator
said thai the Govetnor-cloci had ob
tained his ?levatlon to tbe high post
after many yeais of sacrltlce und de
votlon to the people'b euuae.
Govexnor-elect Sulzer sald in part:
