New York, Oct u.-There is consider
able bad feeling among the members of
the executive committee Of the Inde-
pendence League over the selection Of
the judiciary ticket at the convention at
Tammany Hall last night. The talk even
goes so far among the members as to
Indicate that under certain circumstances
the league may support the nominees Of
the Republicans for places on the bench.
Some of the most active of the execu-
tive committee had ambitions for judi
cial nominations themselves, and they
we're bitterly disappointed when It was
announced that only three Hearst men
were put on the ticket. and the other
ten places had gone 10 Tammany men.
So much feeling was there about the
matter at the Gilsey House that meet
ing was held OF the executive committee
at 1.90 o'clock this morning. and a de-
mand WAS made upon Mr. Hearst for
bis attendance. He declined 70 leave
his home at that hour Of the night. and
the committee held a long session with
out him. When it was over. Max linn
sen gave out this statement with Mr.
Hearsts sanction:
1T has been the desire Of the execu-
tive committee Of the League 20 secure
the nomination of n non-partisan iu-
dietary ticket The ticket named by the
Tammany men contains the names OF
some good men and some net satisfac-
tory.
The Independence League viii watch
the action Of the Republican convention
with interest"
Murphy l. Not Alarmed.
Charles F. Murphy did not seem to bc
at all alarmed by the implied threat in
the statement The feeling at Tammany
Han is that the whole matter of the judi
clary ticket had been settled. and those
selected would nave the support Of the
Democratic party and the Independence
League Democrats and the members o.
the league.
There seems TO be no question that the
names were submitted 10 3iT- Hearst be-
fore the convention. met and that he
made no objection To them. being satisfied
with the places accorded 20 league men.
His principal object was 90 keep John J.
Delaney, who had been McClel!au's coun-
sci AID who had resigned the day before
the convention In the hope of making
I himself available foT one of the Supreme
Court nominations. Nj. Delaney had been
the mayor campaign manager, and Mr.
Hearst considered him Us having been too
close 10 the mayor TO so on the fusion
ticket
statement was made to-day that the
| Hearst forces were dickeriug with the
Democratic organization in Kings with
the object of reaching an agreement on
the judiciary ticket there similar To the
one adopted i'm New York. The attitude
/ Of Mr.. Hearst toward Senator MCCarren
is just as bitter AS ever. and there Is
no likelihood that a compromise VIII be
made.
This question OF judiciary ticket is the
