ATTACK TAMMANY MEN
Nomi7,ators Throzc Hot Shot at
Brady and Erlanger.

The Judiciary Nominators gave out statements
yesterday attacking John J. Brady and Mitchell
L. Erlanger, two Of the nominees on tho Tam
many judiciary ticket. running for the Supreme
Court bench. OF Mr.. Brady II said:
Brady has never been anything except pro-
fessiona politician and off1ceholder, and is best
known as one of the right hand men Of Louis F.
Hafen, who is the boss of The Bronx He has
had finger in nearly every good real estate pie
that has been cut in The Bronx In the last ten
years, with the result that he has risen from
comparative poverty to affiuence
One of the greatest get-rich-quIck schemes In
realty was the Clasons Point deal put through
by the Sound Realty Company big tract OF
swamp land, utterly uniInproved and apparently
worthless, was bought in by the Sound Realty
Company for next TO nothing. There were no
streets and no sewers, but as soon as Brady ana
his friends got the tract OF land in question plans
for the general improvement of the section were
rushed through by the Borough President. A
sewer was built right in the heart of the section
and the land doubled in value. Assessments
held up pending the marketing of this
property, and If Brady were elected a Supreme
Court Justice he would have the naming of one
assessment commissioner Tor this properly
while the Borough President would name an
other making safe majority of three commits
sioners.
Another deal In which Brady was interested
was the passage of the bill for the extension of
Bronx Park by adding some two hundred acres
This plan, ostensibly, was to prevent the pollu-
ton of the Bronx River, but it was not put
through until Brady and his friends had bought
up all the land the city will have to take over
In addition to this Brady has been largely in
terested, directly and indirectly, in sales of re-
cent years of school sites. firehouse sites and
park property to the city.
Regarding Mr. Erlanger 1t said:
People on the East Side have not forgotten the
failure Of the Federal Bank and Of the Globe
Security Company. which, when wrecked by
David Rothschild, cost upward of one thousand
people their lifetime savings. They also are
remembering the close friendship that existed
between Rothschild. who is now in Sing Sing and
Mitchell L. Erlanger, one of tho Murphy Hearst
nominees for the Supreme Court bench.
Erlange- lid not lose a cent by the two fall
ures-he had the tip and withdrew his dtroSlts
in time Not only were his own funds on de-
posit there, but after his election as Sheriff he
had county mcnev deposit. What would have
become OF that had he not been under bonds
would be worth guessing about
The long n.emoried East Siders recollcct the
hundreds of personal letters Rothschild sent out
In the camraign of 1903 10 aid his friend Er-
LANCER in running for Sheriff. Rothschild was
high in the esteem of his "soon-to-be" victims.
but Eranger dropped him hard at the first sign
of trouble Erlanger has since protested vigor-
ously that Rothschild never was his friend, and
has denied repeatedly that he ever received u
penny from the hank wrecker for campaign pur-
poses. The fact is, however, that he received the
tip that the crash was coming.
