Tamu,any- The Republicans will not nomi-
nate Jerome for District Attorney IL he IS
going TO accept an Endorsement from Tammany.
The Controllers hostility TO the District At
torney is of long standing. There never was
any great cordiaIity between them, and they
have not been friends since Jerome two
years ago denounced the Controller for desert
ing the fusion ticket and accepting a nominal
ton at the hands of Tammany. Mr. Jerome
was exceedingly eaustic In his structures on the
Controller. The Controller from time to time
showed his resentment by criticising the Dis
trict Attorneys. accounts when they to
tie Finance Department. He made a hit at the
expense of the District Attorneys detective bu-
reau by giving out for publication the expense
bills Of the county detectives In following up the
Dodge-Morse case in distant cities.
1t is suggested by Mr.. Jerome's friends that
the Controller in playing his cards SO that the
District Attorney shall not be Endorsed by
Tammany is looking ahead. 1t is suggested
that il viii not be long before there will be
good Democratic year" for TO run for
Governor, and that the Controller wants to be
in strategic position when that particular
year comes around. 1t is also suggested that
the Controller is satisfied that Mr.. Jerome with
out the Tammany Endorsement will not be able
TO win as a candidate for the District Attorney
OF view. will mark the end of Mr.. Jerome.
The sudden turn given the political wheel by
the Controller will keep the politicians guess
ing TIL the county conventions Of all the par
ties are over. The Tammany county conven-
ton is set for October u. That of the Repub-
ucans is down for October Is. the last day that
nominations may be filed with the Board of
Elections The Citizens Union may have TO
make up its mind about Jerome before the old
ORGANIZATIONS as it viii have to circulate petit
tons for Mr.. Jeron.e's denomination. Then, too.
The Cutting people have troubles of their own
over Jerome The radicals in the union are out
after ssrome's scalp, and have called special
meeting for Monday next with the idea Of kill
sne off the plan of the Cutting men to nominate
Mr. Jerome for District Attorney.
The chances are that Controller Grout VIII

said Yesterday that he expected TO say some
thing definite about his political desires before
Thursday night
Edward NJ. Grout run again on the ticket with
him for Controller, there is likely TO be trouble
between him and Senator McCarren, for the lat
ter told intimate friend yesterday that he
intended to support Herman A. Metz as the
Democratic candidate for Controller.
Before the Controller went to Europe 1T is said
that he gave Senator McCarren to understand
that In circumstances would he again become
q candidate for Controller. On the strength OF
this McCarren practically promised the place 10
Mr.. Metz, and he does not intend to go back on
his word. Before Controller Grout returned
there were intinations that Mcclellan wanted
him to again. and on his return McCarren
somewhat surprised when the Controller
seemed to indicate that he might be persuaded
to take the denomination.
