 New York, Oct. 13.-The republican conventions to select candidates for of- ice in the borough of Manhattan were held tonight. Before the conventions met the executive committee of the county committee discussed for two hours the question whether or not the county convention would endorse Dis trict Attorney Jerome. Although there is no official relation between the bor- ough and county conventions they are substantially the same and until the leaders, who made up the executive committee cold settle the question, both conventions were blocked.
 Of the thirty-seven members of the executive committee a dozen were in favor of Nil. Jerome and insisted. that he should te renominated for the office which he now holds The balance of the cor'uittee was bitterly opposed to his candidacy. As no satisfactory ar engagement could be arrived at mes sage was sent to William M. Twins, the nominee for mayor, inviting him to ap- pear before the committee and express his views. MT. Wins, in a long speech in favor of District Attorney Jerome, said that he was anxious for the selection of MT, Jerome as his running mate in the cam lpaign. It would afford him great per sonal qualification, he said, but even so, he added, he did not wish the men1- bers to feel that his personal feelings 1 should rule, and he would be willing to abide by their vote. Several other members spoke in favor of MT. Jerome. l Among these was Chairman Halpin, l who urged that MT. Jerome should be selected. Among those who most bit +arly opposed MT. Jerome's nomination was Abraham Gruber. 1 A vote was then taken on the propo- sition and it resulted in 27 to 8 against 1 MT. JeFOUl6 $ nOInln&ClOns
 1 The borough convention was then called and nominated James J. Duffy i for borough president and Dr. Henry Carey, Dr. J. P. obeerndofer Dr. Gus l tav Schcler, and Dr. Antonio Pizzani i for coroners.
 | The first nominations made by the i county convention were of Justice Nor 1 timer c. Addoms and George H. Ingra- i ham for the supreme bench. The nom- | nations were made by exclamation. The nomination for the supreme court i of Judge Joseph E. Newberger who re- signed recently from the court of gen. eral sessions to take the democratic nomination led to the first contest, Judge Newberger finally getting the nomination over Judge Henry A. Gill dersleeve by 155 votes to 5S. Ottoo M. Rosalsky was then nominated for judge of the court of general sessions. Am prose o. Neal for sheriff and Dr. F. L. Marshall for county clerk. .,, i On the call for nominations for dis trict attorney Charles A. Hammer was placed in nomination. The mention as 8 candidate of William T. Jerome by R K. Pretense set the convention in an uproar, but when the roll was called Jerome received only votes against 237 for Hammer
 The last nomination was that of Dr.
 H. A. c. Anderson for registrar.
 As the convention was about to ad- iourn MT. Twins, the candidate for may. or, entered and was received with en. thusiasm. During the course of his ad' dress MT. Wins said, speaking of the question of municipal ownership:
 q believe that every franchise that has lapsed should at once be acquired by the city I believe that every fran. chise that has been forfeited should be at once put into the way of acquisition by the most relentless pursuit of the parties who acquired that that fran chose uprighteously. I believe that
 there should be no new grants of fran chises in perpetuity whatsoever.
 q believe that all the wealth created by our community should be held ir perpetuity by the community and fo1 the use and benefit of our community and not for the aggrandizement oi large sums of money by individuals"
 MT. Jerome said when told of the re, suit of the convention:
 Tt has not happened in my memory
 that a man has been so honored or re.
 ceived such an endorsement as has beer
 practically unanimous in the opposition
 of the district leaders of all politica parties.'
