New York. Oct. 26.-With only one
dissenting voice, and acting under
legal opinion rendered by Jos. II.
Choate, the executive committee Of the
republican county committee late to-
day decided to reconvene the New
York county convention tomorrow
night in Murray Hall lyceum, the call
for the convention carrying with it the
recommendation that William Travers
Jerome be nominated as district at
torney, to fill the vacancy created yes
terday by the resignation of Charles
A. Flammer, who, in retiring from the
ticket, advised his followers to vote for
Mr.. Jerome.
The committee, which almost unani-
mously voted for Jerome today, oppos-
ed his nomination by 27 votes to s
when his name was suggested for the
republican ticket a few weeks ago.
The conditions created by the cam
paign caused change in sentiment
among the republican leaders which
eliminated last night in the with
draWal Of Mr. Flammer and resulted
today in the naming of Mr.. Jerome for
nomination by the county convention
tomorrow night.
The ony voice raised in opposition
to the course determined upon by the
executive committee was that of Abb
raham Gruber, an assembly district
| leader, who declared that his constitu-
ents would not vote for Mr. Jerome.
