New York Delegation Will Go Instructed.
New York, May 28.—John F. Carroll, leader of Tammany Hall, in the absence of Richard Croker, gave out the following carefully prepared statement last night:
"I do not believe that the attitude of the Tammany Hall organization at the state convention will be either doubtful or equivocal. As far as I have been able to consult with the representative men of the organization, they entirely accord with my view of both the propriety and the expediency of sending to the national convention a delegation instructed for Wm. J. Bryan as the presidential candidate.
It is safe to say that every delegate will favor the programme, and whatever influence I may possess will be exerted to impress the desirability of its adoption upon the delegates from the other localities in the state."
Mr. Carroll declined to add a word to the statement, but it is understood it was issued with Mr. Croker's full sanction. It is stated that Tammany and Brooklyn Democrats resent ex-Senator Hill's attempt to rehabilitate himself as a leader in state politics, and that there exists a thorough understanding between the Bryan managers and the New York Democrats.
