70 Have Asked GiegerHch and Connolly
10 Get on the lawyer Ticket -RepuD-
Iicans Inclined 20 Adopt mat Ticket.
The Tammany judiciary convention IL to
be held on October 10 and the Republican
judiciary convention Is to assemble on
October II. These two Judiciary conven-
lions promise to be one Of tho most inn
portant features Of the local political cam
paign. Charles F. Murphy, IL was stated
last night by those who had talked with
him, had decided to request Theodore
Connolly and Leonard A. Giegerioh to retire
from the ticket known as the lawyers
ticket. Mr.. Connolly for many years has
been chief Assistant Corporation Counsel.
He has always been aTammany man JUS
tice Giegerich is just closing his first term
Of fourteen years. He, too, is q Taunmany
man. Mr.. Murphy, 1t was stated by his
confidential friends, objects very seriously
to Mr.. Connolly and Justice Giegerich re-
naming on the lawyers ticket, but has not
given the slightest inkling that he will
either renominate Justice Giegerich or NOM
mate Mr.. Connolly.
Mr.. Murphy. 1t was learned, Ia very
much bothered over the details OF an
amicable settlement with all hands con-
corning the ten places on the Supreme
Court bench Of the county TO be flled this
fall. All told there are about hfty can
didates for zach place. Most OF h places,
1t Is said, were promised many times over
at Buffalo in return for support Of State
committeeman and delegates to the con-
~vention. Friends Of Big Tim and Little
Tim Sullivan did not hesitate to say yester-
day that the Sullivans had a promise OF
two OF the places and that the bargain
must be kept with them, no matter how
anybody else fares.
William r. Hearst and his l~ieutenants
are described as insisting that they must
have at least four Of these Supreme Court
Justice nominations in return for throwing
overheard the tail Of the Independence
League ticket, Mr.. HearBt's agents said
last night that they wished to make 1t very
positive that they must either have four
or five places on Tammany's judiciary
ticket and that John Ford certainly must
ave a place because he has been retired
from the League ticket as candidate for
Attorney General. The other Hearst can
didates for Supreme Court Justice on Mr..
Murphy's ticket must be, it was asserted;
John Palmieri, City Court Judge Samuel
Seabury and Thomas Gilleran, who was on
the Hearst ticket last fall for Borough
President. Clarence j. SheaTn, Mr.. Hearst's
personal counsel and Mr.. Hearst's can
| didate for District Attorney last fall, may
be nominated as one OF the Supreme Court
Justices. according to Mr.. Hearst's friends
last night, II he cares for the distinction, PUG
they went on to say that they were rather
saving Mr.. Shearn to become District At
toney OF the county when Gov Hearst
removes Mr.. Jerome.
The insistence Of the Hearst people on
either four or FIVE places on the Supreme
Court Justice slate Is plaguing Mr.. Murphy,
who believed that when he nominated Mr..
Hearst for Governor at Buffalo Mr.. Hearst
would abandon all Intervention in the
local campaign in New York county.
Mr.. Murphy did not think tina Mr.. Hearst
would make any demands on him for nomi-
nations for Supreme Court Justice: MI.
Murphy, it was stated, had positively
and could fill the entire nine places re-
naming many times over. Mr.. Murphy,
it was declared, will resist the Hearst de-
mands for nominations on his judiciary
ticket. He Is very sore, IL was stated yes
terday. at what he considers the efforts
Of the Hearst people to drive a hard bargain
with him.
Concerning the Republican judiciary con-
vention it was stated last night by RepuD.
licans who said that they were aware OF
what is going on hat there Is every prob
ability that the Republican county organl
zation under President Herbert Parsons
will accept the lawyers ticket in its en-
tirety. Mr.. Hughes, who was one OF the
committee to make up the lawyers ticket
is inclined to approve the suggestions
already made to him and to Mr.. Parsons
that the lawyers ticket be accepted by the
county organization.
