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.
