Ten justices are to be elected to the Supreme

and two to fill vacancies made by the eXpira-
ton Of the terms of Justice Giegerich and JUS
tice Clinch who took the place of the late JUS
tice Barrett Both of these are nominated to
succeed themselves.
None of the new aspirants for judicial honors
has ever been very active politically. although
two or three have been prominent in civic
ganizations. Edward B. Whitney has taken
active part in the work of the Citizens Union
ard served of the Hearst counsel in the
contest against Mayor Mcclellan. Political com
ment last night, instead CT considering the per-
sonnel of the ticket, directed to the discus
sion Of those whom the lawyers committee had
failed to name
Considerable surprise was expressed that the
name of John J. Delany. Corporation Counsel,
had not found its way into the list especially as
Theodore Connoly, his first assistant had been
designated. Mr.. Deany has been known a
receptive candidate fo- three years and
the general supposition that he would have
the Tammany influence behind him. Senator
Jacob Marks one Of the chief Tammany repre-
sentatives at the state capital. believed TO
be sure of nomination. Democrats think that if
Tamnany decides not to make this ticket its
own Senator Marks's name Will be found on the
Tammany slate. Senator Elsberg Republican,
was discussed freely. but his name is missing
from the list. Otto Rosalsky. whom Governor
Higgins appointed 10 the General Sessions
bench is to be superseded by Judge Wyatt, Of
Special Sessions, if the lawyers have their way.
When the membership of the lawyers COM
mittee was announced, many politicians de-
clared that the ticket nominated by so many
well known defenders of corporations and trusts
would be made up wholly of corporation law
yers This list, it was noted by the political
wiseacres last night contained no man OF great
prominence in corporation law. Instead it was
pointed out almost all were lawyers whose prac-
tice was made up in great part of receiyerships
and references. The lawyers committee said
they were chosen because Of general legal ex-
perience and ability.
The committee has entered a vigorous cam
paign to elect its ticket. ii has adopted as its
name judiciary nominators and black triangle
for its emblem. Circular letters. with the ticket.
have been sent out 10 members Of the bar and
express these sentiments:
Every citizen has "A supreme interest in elect
ing TO the bench lawyers of character, ability,
professional experience and independence. The
candidates of the party organizations, however
estimable personally nave almost invariably

cal influence. OIien professional capacity mas
