Murphy's Clever Coup Trumps Mayor's Trick
Tammany Hall leader Murphy enlarged the executive committee from 35 to 43, adding his allies as two members per district. The move consolidates control, outgunning rivals McClellan O'Brien and the Sullivans, with Dalton and Prendergast among the dissenters. The bylaw change concentrates power with Murphy, threatening to push Hearst influence and secure machine unity for the fall campaign.
