MURPHY STEALS NOMINEE
Decides to Put Judiciary Nomi-
majors Man on His Ticket.

Charles w. Murphy decided yesterday to put
Assistant Corporation Counsel Theodore Conno!y
on the Tammany judiciary ticket. Mr., Connolly is
on the ticket of the judiciary nomnators. and Mr..
Murphy apparently thinks it will be wise
TO try to forestau criticism by naming Mr.. Con-
molly.
Mr.. Connoly went to TaInrnany Hall yesterday
in answer to a request from Mr. Murphy. and had
a prolonged conversation with the Tamraany lead
err While Mr.. Murphy would not admit that Mr..
Connoly's name would go the Tammany ticket,
the news spread through those in his confidence.
When Mr.. Murphy asked about Mr.. Connoly
he said:
"All that can say is that Mr. Connolly is under
consideration"
The other tentatively the Tammany
slate Justice Leonard A Giegerich, Corpora
ton Counsel Delany. NJ Marley Platzek, Mitchell
L. Erlanger and Peter A Hendrick. The last is a
district leader. and recently appeared in court
the counsel of the New York Contracting and
Trucking Company.
When Mr.. Murphy was asked if the name of
E. B. Whitney was under consideration for place
on the TamInany ticket, he said:
Il have not heard his name mentioned"
ANY one else from the judiciary nominators
ticket besides Mr.. ConnolyT'
NO" said Mr.. Murphy.
The principal cause Of trouble in making com
binauon Hearst-Murphy judiciary ticket Is that
Mr. Hearst H does not Wsn to be-
with the leader OF Tamrnany Hall, although he
aehe 1oa se o the lG
tween Murphy and Hearst has been done by John
Henry Mccarthy. Mr.. Hearst went up the state
last week before the deal could be closed, and
no was Iett behind empowered to say the
TO the headquarters of tho Independence League
ence ]. sheern said they represented Mr.. Hearst.
Murphy is too practical TO deal with subordlnates,
and everything was temporarily called on until
Mr. Hearst returns .
It Is expected that Mr.. Hearst Will refuse to in
! dorse six Tammany candidates, and one or the
/ names the Tamnany slate Will probably pc
| taken down. Mr. Hearst wants to name Judge
| Seabury John Ford. Thomas Gilleran, Clarence j.
! Shearn and Nathan Vidaver the combination
ticket. AS there only ten places to be filled
| on the Supreme Court bench. some one, either IN
| Tammany in the Independence League list, Will
| have to give
Mr. Hearst is due to arrive home to-day from
| his trip up the state One Of the first things he
will be compelled take up is the judiciary slate
| No longer do Mr. Hearst's friends shy at the
sound of the word IDEAL" They getting used
| 10 it, and the they hear it the better they
seem 10 like Il. The thing which bothers them
now IS not the questionable propr1ety or hooking
up with a man denounced by the Hearst papers
| last year S better than criminal, but rather
| how much they compel Murphy to give them
without teoperdizing the deal: -. $500
Murphy has Informed the Hearst men that sooner
| will name the entire judiciary nominators slate,
call the deal between himself and Hearst of and
take his chances at the polls. This Is the gist OF
| the message taken to Mr.. Hearst by William J.
Conners and IL was Just after getting this mes

opposed to q combination on the right KIND or can
