In the municipal election now that the
three city tickets are In the field. One
estimated in general terms that the Odell-
Halpin dty and county ticket, completed

rules OF the republican organization. He
estimated that the Odell-Halpin ticket
would receive 25 per cent OF the total polled.
the Hearst ticket 10 per cent. the socialist.
prohibition and other obscure tickets COM
bined per cent of the total vote. and that
Mayor Mcclellan would receive co per cent
Of all the votes polled
I Tho republican county and Manhattan
borough conventions were held last night
and the candidates selected by Odell- -Halpin,
Lauterback and Gruber, were nominated.
A faint spirit of independence was dis
played by a few delegates. There were
cheers for District Attorney Jerome and q
few votes for his denomination were cast,
against the orders of the new bosses.
With the exception of the cheers for Je-
rome 1t was the dullest, dreariest political
convention ever held in this city.
The County Nominees.
The county convention nominated Justice
George L. Ingraham. Mortimer c. Addoms
and Joseph E. Newburger for justices OF
the supreme court. Ingraham and New.
burger are on the Tammany ticket. Ad-
doms was nominated instead of Justice
Gildersleeve. because Governor Higgins a
few days ago appointed him to serve until
the end of the year in vacancy on the
supreme court bench caused by the death
of Justice Van Brunt. Why the new
bosses indorsed Justice Newburger only the
new bosses know.
Otto A. Rosalsky. a former assistant dis
trict attorney, and the present republican
leader of the eighth assembly district. was
nominated for justice of the court of gen.
eral sessions. Former Police Magistrate
Charles A. Fiammer was nominated for
district attorney. He was Abe Gruber'a
candidate for the place.
Ambrose 0. Neal, q district leader, was
nominated for sheriff. and Frederick L,
Marshall. former alderman, was named
for county clerk. DR.. H. A. c.. Anderson
was nominated for registrar.
The Manhattan borough convention nomi-
mated James Duffy for borough president,
and Rrs. Gustav Scholor, Henry Carey,
Antonio PizZani and l. Pierce Obendorffer
for borough president, is a rich contractor
and personal friend of William Halpin.
Nominations Made HurriedIy.
and in perfunctory way. The certificates
had to be filed with the board OF elections
before midnight. and the delegates did not
care anyway. They were present merely
to obey orders, and all obeyed except nine.
who voted for Jerome for district attorney.
After the nominations had been made
William NJ. WINS, the candidate for mayor,
addressed the convention.
The legislative committee of the county
committee was in secret session all yester-
day afternoon up to 6 o'clock in the evening
making up the ticket. Most of the session
was devoted to attacks on District Attorney
Jerome, led by Abe Gruber. Mr.. WINS, the
nominee for mayor, appeared before the
committee late in the afternoon and urged
the nomination of Mr.. Jerome, but he did
not make that condition precedent to his
making the race as head of the ticket. The
chief arguments, or charges, made against
Mr.. Jerome were that he had not prosecuted
the officers of the life insurance companies
and that he had attacked, In his speeches
and interviews, the bosses of the party.
Representative Herbert Parsons and few
other district leaders worked hard for the
Endorsement of Mr.. Jerome but on the final
roll call they could muster only eight votes.
The ticket as a whole caused no surprise
and no enthusiasm among the rank and file
of the party. An imitation campaign will
be conducted from county headquarters, 1
Madison avenue. but the organization has
no money and the prospects of raising q
campaign fund are not considered bright.

ership League are to hold conference late
