Official announcement was made last
night at the Gilsey House after an executive
committee meeting of the Independence
League hat Mr.. Hearst's organization
would put a county ticket Of its own in the
aed. and that that ticket Woul be made
up Of candidates to be selected entirely
by Mr.. Hearst. It was announced at the
same time that Mr.. Murphy would not be
consulted in any way in the compiling OF
this Independence Leagues ticket, but that
any suggestions which might be made by
him for the inclusion on the leagues ticket
Of some Tammany candidates in case Mr..
Murphy might think it-futile to go ahead
with naming a purely Tammany ticket
would be treated with respectful cOusidera-
ton.
Trouble between Mr.. Murphy and MIR.
Hearst has been brewing almost from the
day Of the adjournment Of the Buffalo
convention. 1t is well known that one Of
the considerations which induced Mr..
Murphy to urge the nomination Of Mr..
Hearst was that Mr.. Hearst would help him
TO elect his local tickets. Mr.. Murphy
had the idea. and the idea was fostered
BY Mr.. Hearst's agents; tfatrtf MT: Hearst
was nominated for Governor Mr.. Murphy
would have left to him the whole OF the local
field. No sooner had Mr.. Hearst been
nominated than things began to shape
" differently. At Buffalo Mr.. Hesrst's repre-
sentatives told Mr.. Murphy that il the
Independence League could have three
candidates for the Supreme Court Mr..
Hearst would be satisfied and would ask
for nothing more.
A day or two after the convention Mr..
Hearst asked for five and later he asked for
six Of the places on the Judiciary ticket, and
also insisted On half Of the nominations for
the Senate and Assembly. Mr.. Murphy, it
has beenpearned in the last day or two, re-
fused to acoede TO these demands, and as he
has stubbornly adhered to this position Mr..
Hearst has decided to name an entire ticket
OF his own.
W. J. Corners. the Democratic State
chairman; Peter A. Hendrick, Clarence J.
Shean and Max Ihmsen had a very long
conference yesterday. Mr.. Hendrick Is
Mr.. Murphy's personal counsel. Mr..
Shean occupies the same place With
Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Ihmsen was Mr..
He2rst's campaign manager In develop
ing the Independence League.
Very great dissatisfaction was expressed
by Mr.. Hendrick over Mr.. Hearst's attitude
in insisting upon naming six Of the ten
Supreme Court Justices to be nominated
in the county this fall. Mr.. Corners en-
deavorsd to be a peacemaker, but Mr..
Shesrn and Mr.. Ihmsen were not inclined,
it was stated, to withdraw the demand for
six OF the ten candidates. Mr.. Hendrick
for Mr.. Murphy, It is announced, informed
Mr.. Corners, Mr.. Shean and Mr.. Ihmsen
that the demand was altogether exorbitant
and could not be agreed to. The discussion
lasted many hours, and finally it was an
nounced that all had reached the oonClu-
sion that Mr.. Hearst should have four
places on the judiciary ticket and that his
candidates should be Thomas Gilleran
Clarence j. Shean, Judge Samuel Seabury
and John Ford. The greatest objection
on the part Of Mr.. Hendrick, speaking for
Mr.. Murphy, was to Mr.. Ford, but the
Hearst representatives in the conference
were just as firm in their support OF Mr..
Ford as Mr.. Hendrick was sturdy in his
objections.
After the conference IL was Stated, how
ever, that this compromise was not reached
until Mr.. Hendrick had agreed for Mr..
Murphy that none OF the Ave Tammany
Senators. Foley. Hawkins, Martin, Fitz-
gerald and Riordan. who voted at Albany
against the 40 cent gas bill in the spring OF
1905 should be renomipated thisf fall. Barney
Martin is out Of the running, because his
district was obliterated by the new appor-
tionment, and Daniel J. Riordan was nom.
mated on Tuesday night for Congress in
the Eighth district to succeed Big Tin
Sullivan.
AT the conference the representatives oil
Mr.. Hearst, Mr.. Shearn and Mr.. Ihmsen
made the further demand, it was stated
upon Mr.. Hendrick. representing Mr.
Murphy, that the Hearst people also have
the naming OF six Of the twelve Senators
TO be nominated in New York county
furthermore, that the Hearst people have
the naming Of seventeen Of the thirty-ivt
Assemblymen to be nominated in New YORK
county by Tammany Hall.
These demands for one-half Of the legis.
lative nominations astounded Mr.. Hendrick,
out the Hearst people were insistent
Mr. Hendrick was greatly flabbergastcd
IL was announced, and declined to come
70 any understanding on that part Of the
hearst programme until after he had con-
suited with Mr.. Murphy. The Hearst
s politicians said then that IL they had the
