Summary: Charles Murphy labelled 'Charley the 1st, King of the Grafter,' sits at his desk reading several telegrams about the Democratic primary campaign between Glynn and Hennessy. Murphy perspires as he reads one notice. More papers are strewn at his feet. From behind a set of drapes, a hand slips Murphy yet another message. A 'Highway Map of N.Y. State' is posted on the wall above his desk.
Notes:
Inscribed on telegrams in image: Buffalo taken by storm. Hennessy's attack on Fitzpatrick demoralizing to latter. Thousands taken by the invaders.; Volunteers all over the state rushing to the support of Hennessy. All being fully armed and equipped.; Lack of ammunition among Glynn forces cause of general retreat before Hennessy's strong right wing.

In the 1914 primary election campaign, John A. Hennessy challenged Governor Martin Glynn of New York for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Hennessy ran on the platform of being an anti-Tammany Democrat. He accused his opponent of being a tool of corrupt Tammany boss Charles Murphy, especially with regard to the recent graft investigation of the New York State Highway Department in which Glynn refused to prosecute Murphy and his associates despite evidence linking them to widespread fraud and corruption. While campaigning in Buffalo, New York on September 11, 1914, Hennessey accused Buffalo Democratic boss Fitzpatrick (who strongly supported Tammany's candidate Glynn), of fraud and unfair treatment toward Governor Sulzer during his impeachment trial.
