MAY NOT IND0RSE TT.
Politicians Not Greatly Pleased sOith
Judiciary Ticket.

Little comment was heard among politicians yes
terday regarding the judiciary noinators and their
nominees. What there was did not indicate
strong possibility OF party Endorsement OF the
ticket put forward by the lawyers committee. al
though IL seems likely that two or three men from
this list will be chosen by each party, and possibly
each party's choice may he Endorsed by the oppo-
site party.
County Committee. did not care to express any
opinion OF the list of candidates. Charles f. Muir
ply had read the list with interest but he. too.
would say nothing indicating the probable course
of Tammany Hall regarding Endorsement. In fact,
as conditions stand with factiOna fights In each
party no one can speak with weight as 10 the
action likely to be taken by either, since no one
can predict with certainty which wing OF either
party will be in control after the September pTl-
maries.
From the nature of the ticket. however. the poll
ticians who gave their individual opinions were not
sanguine to any taking up Of the nominees by
either party The tenor OF the talk wasethat the
nominees, while undoubtedly we'll known to the
lawyers the nominating committee. all of whom
probably had had more or less business or social
relations with them, not at all well known.

lar party to take up ticket frankly put into the
field by a group of lawyers, for the most part the
legal representatives of large corporations.
Considerable objection TO the lawyers ticket has
been heard from Republicans. the score that too
little recognition has been given to Republican
claims OF the thirteen candidates named nine
are Democrats The claim Of Senator Elsberg to
a place on the ticket urged vigorously during
the consideration of names, and division
existed in the nominating committee over it. The
right Of NJ. Linn Bruce. Lieutenant Governor, to a
nomination was urged just as strongly. Otto RO-
salsky. his friends believed. entitled TO a
nomina tion for the place in General Sessions which
he holds now by appointment of the Governor.
The possibility of union of Democrats and Re
publicans on ticket in opposition to the lawyers
ticket was discussed freely yesterday although no
one would speak with authority about It. In such
a contingency il generally conceded that
Lieutenant Governor Bruce and Senator Elsberg
would be put forward by the Republicans and JUS

sessions. The choice of the Democrats would in
