Advise Cutting Loose Altogether.
Chairman William J. Corners Of the Demo-
cratic state committee had a long talk with
charles +. Murphy OF Tammany at the
Waldorf Astoria last night and IL came
ont that William r.. Hearst is insistent
in bs demand for four Supreme Court
lust. COS in New York county, one-half
Of the senate nominations and one-half
NJ the Assembly nominations, and that he
also threatens TO demand one-half Of the
CONGRESS nominations and is especially
anxious to nominate Congressman against
REPRESENTATIVE W. Bourke Cochran and
Representative William Sulzer.
Nj. Hcarst's agents said that Charles r.
,iurphv. Joseph Cassidy, Mr.. Corners and
Patrick Z. McCabe hould be very well
satisfied with the nominations given to
them for Attorney-GeneraI, State Treasurer,
Secretary Of State. Comptroller and State
Engineer and, Surveyor and the promise
that Lewis Nixon shall be made State Super
intendent of Public WORKS il Mr.. Hearst
is elected. The H~earst-Murphy people
continued to talk yesterday about the
vastly lucrative contracts that would fall
into their hands from the sos 900, 900 OF the
uncXrended canal fun and also the $780,
o0. mO that must be expended for good
roads in the State.
Mr.. Hearst, it was declared by Demo-
Gratis oonversant with what is going on,
directed first that Charles F. Murphy shall
nominate Recorder Con as one OF his, Mr..
H~eGrst's. representatives on the Supreme
Court bench OF the county. n his demand
il acceded to Recorder COT, it was stated
last night must resign his place to-day
in order to have his resignation in the hands
of Gov. Higgins not later than tomorrow
night. Mr.. Hearts, further reported de-
mands were that John Ford, Thomas Gil
leran and Clarence J. Shearn shall be nomi-
mated for the Supreme Court bench In the
county. Judge Seabury feeling that he
does not care to resign from the City Court
bench to take the risks OF the mOmentous
local campaign, which in many respects
has been very greatly complicated since the
Buffalo State convention.
After the conference betw sen Mr.. Con-
ners and Mr.. Murphy at the Wsldorf-AstOria
last night, it was further said that Mr.. Hearst
is very confident that Mr.. Murphy will give
way to all demands made upon him. Mr..
Hearst, il was added, instructed his repre-
sentatives TO stand hard and fast by their
pos ton, saying in effect to them; You are
not to give way one inch with Mr.. Murphy,
and you will find that he will agree to every
one Of your demands
n will be definitely decided to-day
whether or not Messrs. Hearst and Murphy
ill slasA.w Ns,Ir,s NJ
Murphy is described a. more than willing.
and his information is MIR. Hearst also is
anxious for a fusion judiciary ticket. But
from the same sources from Which Mr..
Murphy's information came it was also
learned that the coterie at the Gilsey House
have advised Mr.. Hearst to cut loose alto
gsther from Mr.. Murphy and to insist on
the naming Of a separate ticket from top
10 bottom without further regard to Mr..
Murphy.
One Of the members OF the Hearst ex-
ecutive COMMITTEES admitted last night
that Mr.. Hearst had been advised to take
this course but said that so far he had
refused to follow the advice and had prom
ised to make clear to-day the attitude he
would pursue with regard TO Mr.. Murphy
and the Tammany Of organization. Mr.. Hearst's
executive committeeman are mostly candi-
dates for nomination.
1t can be stated that while Mr.. Hearst
Is willing to have candidates OF the In
dependence League put up in opposition
10 many Of the Tammany candidates for
Congress, State Senate and the Assembly
he has so far baked at the idea OF cutting
loose entirely from the local Democratic
organization by consenting to the putting
out Of IN independent judiciary ticket.
Mr.. Hearst, il was learned last night.
told his committee that IL Mr.. Murphy
would nominate mea for the Supreme
Court bench OF reputs and credit there was
no reason why the Independence League
should not combine with TamInany on the
judiciary ticket. And that was how the
situation stood last night.
Mr. Murphy seemed to regard IL as assured
last night that there would be a deal.
The ju dicial convention on Wednesday
night will show II here will be In indie
pendent Hearst ticket put out against
Iammany Hall. : he said.
But they are saying up at the Gilsey
House that the Independence League in
tends to have a ticket Of its " n that
that ticket will be made up without con-
sidering any suggestions Tammany Hall
might make, it was said to Mr.. Murphy.
Well, that ticket would have to DO nom
mated by petition. and I guess neither you
nor any one else has seen n petitions sent
out yet, Mr.. Murphy responded.
Does that mean that you AVE reached
some understanding with Mr.. Hearst?' it
was asked.
The convention on Wednesday night
vii tell you that was ths only re- ply Mr..
Murphy would make.
Mr.. Murphy professed to regard with
indifference the reports that the Independ-
ence League intended to oppose in several
districts the Tammany candidates for
congress and for the State Legislature.
Inc league announced yesterday that
sven such q man as Francis Burton Harri-
son, who II was supposed would be per-
tedly acceptable to Mr.. Hearst, was to
nave a league candidate put up against
MN It was stated at the Gilsey House
mat n. B. Davis would be nominated by
psiflon to run against Mr.. Harrison. Dan
Huordan, who was nominated by Tammany
Tor Congressman In the Eighth district.
