The decision was announced at the GiIsey
House after long conference between the

Of the league.
The Endorsement of Judge Rosalsky was ru-
mored soon after he had been nominated by the
Republican Judicial Convention. Judge Rosal-
sky himself would discuss his nomination
last night further than 10 say that if such a
were intended the honor came unsought.
The demand within the league ranks for Judl:
Rosalsky's Endorsement was stronger than any
individual demand yet made 10 the league lead
ers BY placing his name in the league column
ii is hoped to strengthen the ticket the East
Side and in many uptown districts.
Magistrate Breen declared for Mr.. Hearst early
in the campaign. and Mr.. Hearst's managers
hope to use him to get votes in The Bronx where
he has a large following.
The leagues statement follows:
After carefully considering the names Of the
candidates of the judiciary ticket of the Demo-
cratic organization of New York as we'll as the
Republican organization. the Independence
League concludes that il consistently in
dorse the entire Democratic judiciary ticket.
with the exception of John J. Brady, who has
been nominated for Supreme Court Justice and
Judge Francis S. McAyOy who has been nom
mated for the Court Of General Sessions.
The Independence League has selected Magis-
trate Matthew P. Breen of The Bronx and
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky, as its candidates. in
the place Of Mr.. Brady and Judge McAvoy.
Matthew P. Breen has been identified for
many years past with the progress of New
Yorks magnificent park system. He was elected
TO the State Assembly in 1882, representing
what is now The Bronx but then popuIarly
lawyer of standing and ability. is a member Of
the Legislature, and assistant corporation
counsel he served the public with high intelli-
gence, honesty and efficiency. As a city mag1s-
trate Judge Breen has earned for himself the
editorial commendation Of the entire press Of
the city of New York, well the admira-
tion and support Of the bar of the city. When
Judge Breen was recommended for appointment
as city magistrate TO Mayor Seth Low he had
the support of almost every lawyer of any stand
ing in the community.
The Independence League believes Judge
Breen we'll qualified by temperament education
and training to perform the duties of Supreme
Court justice.
Judge Otto Rosalsky was twice appointed to
fill vacancies in the Court of General Sessions
During his service he earned for himself the
esteem and admiration Of the entire bar of New
York. He was recommended for a second ap-
pointment by some Of the most prominent law
yers in the city.
Judge Rosalsky was graduated from the Law
School in 1894 In 1896 and 1897 he served
faithfully and ably as Assistant District Attor-
ney under District Attorney Olcott and during
that time prosecuted several noted cases.
He is a resident of the lower East Side His
rfIf+, fairness ana a1rarisrca i c~i,,,i,oi -
his knowledge of practice before the Court of
General Sessions and the experience of two
terms as judge of that court. make him well
fitted for the office for which he has been nomi-
mated.
The Independence League believes that. with
the addition of City Magistrate Matthew p
Breen and Judge Rosalsky to the several other
judiciary candidates Of the regular Democratic
organization indorsed by the league it presents
a better and ADLER ticket than has been presented
to the electorate for years
The following telegram from Mr.. Hearst at
Bath. n. Y. was given out at the Gilsey House
as expressing his opinion when told of the action
of the league:
The league made every legitimate effort 10
secure the nomination of a non-partisan iudidici
airy ticket but the efforts Of the IeagIa ,-era
defeated through the party politicians and +bs
narrow policy Of Mr.. Woodruff and Attorney
General Mayer. An absolutely non-partisan
ticket would probably have been the most satis
factory solution Of the situation. but the ticker
that the league presents, composed OF the hast |
men on the Democratic ticket or savaroi -
the ablest representatives of its own organfze
ton, and such Republican representative as
MIR Woodruff's narrow mindedness perrni+red -
to secure, is certainly a better and an aLIa
ticket than has been presented to the eIect0rata
Cor wears. and has been made w with r. 49, ~
of eliminating not only partisanship but cor
poration influence
Charles Gearing who had expected 10 he tho
Leagues candidate in the 11tb
Congress District against w Bourke Cockrap
visited the Gilsey House yesterday. After bts
visit II became known that he had witbdra,,,r
and with him had gone the league candidates for
Senator and Assemblyman against the Tam
many nominees in that district
