BREEN WON'T RUN FOR JUDGE.
ROSALSKY'S NAME STILL on THE
HEARST SLATE.

There's an Impression in Tammany That
Opposition Nominations VIII Turn Out
10 he stage hunde When IL Comes
10 Getting Under Hearst Emblem.
City Magistrate Mathew p. Breen has
declined TO run for the Supreme Court
on the ~Inderendance League Judiciary
ticket. This ticket was to be the same as
the Tammany ticket with the exception
that Breen was to be substituted for John
j. Brady and Otto Rosalsky, Republican,
for Francis s. McAvoy for Judge Of the
Court Of General Sessions.
Rosalsky, who is on the Republican
judiciary ticket, has also been urged by
his own party associates to decline the
Hearst nomination, but up to midnight
nothing had been heard from him at the
Gilsey House headquarters.
Magistrate Breen's letter to the indie
pendence League county committee said:
with reference to the proposition that |
he named as a candidate for the Supreme
Court on your ticket. I beg to state that
while l appreciate the compliment o pay
me my candidacy might create an INDIE
sirable division Of the forces arrayed in
support Of the head of the ticket. l there
fore respectfully decline"
Mr.. Breen also submitted to he COM
mittee a letter which Justice Keogh sent to
Mayor Low just before Breen disappointed
a Magistrate. In it the Justice said he
knew every detail of Breen's connection
with the affairs Of the Union Railway Com
pany, and that his conduct in the matter
had been beyond criticism.
II was said at the Gilsey House that a
substitute for Breen would surely he put
on the ticket to-day. The time for filing
independent nominations expires at mid
night tonight.
There was some talk at Tammany Hall
Yesterday to the effect that there would
be no change in the judiciary ticket named
when the deal between Hearst and Murphy
was made by which Hearst got -four candi-
dates. II was admitted there that indie
pendence League petitions were being circu-
lated by Tammany men and that they car
ried the names of both Brady and McAvoy.
Charles F. Murphy was asked If IL was true
that representatives of the Wigwam were
circulating Independence League petitions.
Yes, l understand that is So was his
reply
Of Brady and McAvoy?"
They certainly will contain the names
OF the men nominated by the Democratic
convention"
No nominations can be made under the
Independence League emblem without
the consent of Max lhmsen and the other
dire ctors OF the Independence League
corporation, One of the first petitions
filed yesterday in the name of the lndepen-
dence League was an indOrseTnent OF The
McManus. the Tammany leader who il
running for the Senate in Plunkitt's old
district. Another indorsement vas that
Of Owen Bohan, the Tammany candidate
for Assembly in the Ninth.
It was said at the Independence League
headquarters last night that the work
az filing petitions for independent candi-
dates for Senate and Assembly will go right
on to-day. No one, however, could be
found who could tell in just what dis
tricts there were to be contests against
Tammany candidates or who the candi-
dates were.

in the Twentv-frst district Owens, who
has the Maggie support. or Ahearn. who
has the Cowan snpport-will be settled
bv the Board of Elections when il settles
whether Cowau or Maggie elected the dele
