1t wasstated last night at the Gilsey House
that IL Mr.. Murphy. would agree to let Mr.
Hearst have six Of the ten places on the
Supreme Court bench without making
any fuss the Tammany leader would be
Permitted to name the candidates for the
two iudgeships Of the Court Of General
Sessions and for Surrogate. II was ex-
planned by one Of Mr.. Hearst's chief agents
that this ought to satisfy Mr.. Murphy,
because IL would. after all, give him the
naming OF the numerical majority OF the
candidate tea on the judiciary ticket.
Mr.. Murphy would not answer any Ques-
tions yesterday bearing on the judiciary
situation, but some Of those with whom he
had talked said that the probability was

Gossip around the headquarters OF the
county committee was that the Republic

indorse the ticket Of the Judiciary Nomin,
atOrs II the lawyers committee would
consent to changes which would make
room On their ticket for Judge Otto Rosal
sky Of the Court OF General Sessions ano
ex-senator Elsberg. It was pointed out
