WON'T RENOMINATE DALYY
CROKER, WHO ~ DUE TO-DAY, on
JECFs TO THE JUSTICE

"
A Disturbance Expected Over the Resolu-
tion TO Retire H~im--Jusdce Days
Friends Say That He Will Hun Whether
Tnmmany NominhteS Him OF Not.
Richard Croker will arrive from England on
the LucanIa either tonight or tomorrow
morning, His coming will be welcomed by the
leaders OF Tammany Hall. They arc glad to
know that he II coming back, for they are eager
10 have the details OF tho local campaign settled
at once. One OF the things which will probably
claim Mr.. Croker's immediate attention Is the
selection OF candidates for the Supreme Court
bench. Tho terms Of Justices Joseph p. DAILY
and William N. Cohen expire on Jan. /, and
Justice Roger A. Pryor wi. DO retired because
he has reached the age limit.
Ono thing has boon as good a. decided al
roady. and that is that Justice Joseph F. Daily
will not be renominated by TammanY Hall. and
the indications are that his turning down will
cause . disturbance In the Wlgwam. Mr..
Crokor's coldness toward Justice DAILY 10 a mat
tor OF history In the organization Sometime
ago. when Mayor Strong was at the head OF the
city Government and the faithful Of Tammany
Hall were without jobs. Mr.. Croker, It is said.
requested Justice Daily to appoint Michael
T. DAILY. formerly Commissioner Of Public
Works and now Deputy Comptroller with .
fat salary. q clerk In the Supreme Court.
Justice DAILY refused outright to comply with
the request, intimatinR at the same time, 1t Is
said. that he would not be dictated TO by Mr..
Croker or any other leader Of Tammany Hall In
the matter of appointments, Mr.. Croker wac
very angry. and he declared. II is said. that
Justice DAILY would never serve another term
on the bench II he could prevent Il.
Last fall, when Van Wyck was running for
Mayor on the Tammany ticket, the Tammany
leaders professed to have discovered that JUS
tice DAILY was working for the election Of Seth
Low. The Justice is President OF the Catholic
Club and one Of the most influential
Catholic laymen in the city. The an
nouncement that Tammany will not renomi-
nate him has raised a storm. and II IL
Just possible that Mr.. Croker may be forced to
recede from the position he has taken when he
learns how determined Justice Days friends
are that he shall be ~renominated. They declare
that II TammSny Hall does not accept him as q
candidate he will 60 before the people as an
independent candidate, giving as his reason
therefor that he was shunted aside by the Wig
wan because he would not take orders from
Mr.. Croker.
Justice DAILY was elected o Judge Of the Court
J Of Common Pleas in 1870. When this court was
done away within 1894 he was selected as senior
Justice Of the newly formed Appellate Division
Of the Supreme Court. In spite OF his long
just whom Mr.. Croker has In mind 70 nomI-
nate, IN his place is one OF the puzzles that are
troubling the minor leaders Of Tammany Hall.
The frat intention q MI. Croker. Y is said. was
ment being when he was nominated for Mayor
last, fall that he would have to stay in the City
Hall for one year only. That Mr.. Van Wyck
Wishes a place on the bench Is well known; 10
fact, in the famous speech which he made to
the City Hall reporters. directly after he had re;
moyed Police Commissioners Hamilton and

Of his term. but that he would be elected by the
LARGEST majority ever given to any man In the
