MURPHY'S SANDBAG OUT
HEARST MEN HIS PREY.
Tammany Leader No1C after
Leaguers Slated for Nominations.

Charles F. Murphy. with the deal completed
by which he got seven Of the ten Supreme
Court 1usticeship nominations to three for
Hearst, yesterday buckled down to the task OF
elbowing the Hearst men slated for minor nonnt-
nations out of Tammany's way. The Hearst
men are preparing to name candidates for Con-
gress Senate and Assembly in more than half
the districts If this plan carries. the Tammany
representation at Washington and Albany will
be materially cut down.
+ MI Murphy spent an hour yesterday with
William J. Conners at the deserted State Com
mittee headquarters In the Victoria He and
Mr.. Connors talked plans for convincing
Hearst that he cannot afford TO run third ticket
candidates either in New York or Erie. They
are not particularly soIicitous about the Kings
situation. they figure that McCarren has
made the bed that he must lie in there.
The Hearst men slated FOR minor nominations
are TO be coaxed. "conned" and sandbagged into
getting out Of the way Of good Tammany men,
Just how 1t is going to work out no one will
know definitely until after October IL The
Hearst men have until then IN this county to
name their local candidates. In Kings County
the time limit was up last night at midnight.
Timothy DriscoIl. chairman of the Hearst
county committee. left town yesterday forenoon
in company with DR.. ]. H. Byrue, ex-Assembly-
man Long Charles E. Gehring and Max Stern
for Elmira. where they expected to confer with
Mr. Hearst over the question of not only nomi-
mating a full Judiciary ticket materially differ
| ent from the Tammany ticket, but also running
a Hearst candidate in every district In New
York County.
As Mr. Hearst pays the bills. it is expected
that he will advise DriscoIl that the patriotic
thing to do is to denounce the Republican nom
inees as creatures of the trust. knock down all
the independent candidates. and get in behind
Tammany Hail. as he did on the judiciary Hom-
nations The county committee of the indie
pendence League sat up until early morning
waiting for word from Driscoll and his asso-
ciates. who to report back TO the county
committee this afternoon.
Thomas F. Gilleran. who was sorely disap-
pointeS at being left off the judiciary ticket,
after getting the promise of a nomination by
the independence League for the Supreme Court
bench has accepted the inevitable. and said
that being a soldier in the ranks OF the Inde-
pendence League army" he will take his Inedi-
cine like man.
DO you think that the Independence League
Will nominate judiciary ticket?'' Mr.. Murphy
was asked last night.
II am not doing the thinking: let them do
that If they do. then we will see what's to be
done"
Mr. Murphy reiterated his belief of the grow
ing desire to withdraw independence League
candidates. but would not give the grounds for
his belief
