Taboo Trading of Candidates.

TABOO Trading of Candidates.
State Chairman Woodruff and President Par
sons of the New York County Committee both
came out strongly yesterday against any coali-
ton OF Republicans and Hearst people on candi-
dates for local offices. State committeeman and
Republican leaders from all parts of the state
believe that II would be a confession of weak
ness. unworthy of the party which has placed
Hughes at the head of the ticket to effect COM
binations with the Hearstites who are working
| to elect Mr. Hughes's opponent.
These declarations OF the Republican leaders
were especially interesting yesterday, In view Of
the complicated judiciary situation in New York
and Kings counties. In Brooklyn the Hearst
people are favoring Republicans for their Judi
cial ticket. In New York County. Judging from
the statement issued from the Gilsey House re-
Gently, the Independence League people are put
ting out "feelers' to ascertain the sentiment for
fusion on the judiciary ticket with "other
parties If perchance the Murphy-Hearst deal
eventually should fall through
1t was in reference to the trend of this Hearst
statement that State Chairman WOODBURY. ex-
pressed his strong disapproval OF anything sa-
voring of deal with Hearst, He was asked II
he had received any proposition to consider a
fusion with the Hearst people. either on judicial
candidates or candidates for Senate and Assem-
bly,. He replied,
No. ! haven't. for as chairman OF the state
committee naturally have nothing to do
with the makeup Of local tickets; but I I'M
derstand that such proposition did come from
the Gilsey House to the New York county lead
ers There have been suggestions of fusion
with the Hearst people on candidates for Senate
both.
When the news OF this got abroad I was
oesieged by indignant Republicans. who pro-
tested against any such recognition of Hearst
ana MS party That agreed with my own ideas
on the subject, and have told all my friends
over in Brooklyn that was strongly against
beat Hearst and all that he represents and we
cannot afford to do anything which would look
compromise with them. IT must be fight to
the end. all along the line, and If I can prevent
II don't intend TO have our side weakened by
any move which VIII resemble cooperation with
Hearst or Hearstism.
I think the Republicans in New York County
feel exactly the same way about II. know
have had talks with President Parsons. Senator
Page, Attorney General Mayer and others and
they agree with me about this thing.
Chairman Woodruff said that the outcome Of
this probably would be that the Republicans
either would nominate their own judiciary tick
cts throughout or accept those put UP by the
Judiciary nominators. In Brooklyn. he said, he
favored the Endorsement OF the independent
nominations so far possible. Chairman Cor
telyou Of the Republican National Committee,
who talked with Chairman Woodruff for time
yesterday chiefly about the Brooklyn judicial
situation, agreed that such course would be
the wise one.
President Parsons OF the county committee
held many conferences with district leaders ves-
terday. He declined absolutely TO discuss the
judicial situation. There will be a meeting OF
the executive committee Of the county COM
mittee tomorrow afternoon, preparatory to the
judicial convention tomorrow night Mr.. Par
