The San Francisco call., 1906-10-12

NEW YORK, Oct 1l.-M. k hearst s
abject surrender to the Tammany Hall
in the matter of the judiciary nomina-
tions has proved too much for the In
dependence League and it has bolted
the nominations and practically thrown
Hearst overheard.
BY unanimous vote the county COM
mittee of the league. meeting in the
Gilsey House tonight, denounced the
Murphy Hearst ticket as made up of
Tammany packs" unworthy of the sup
port of honest men. appointed a COM
mittee Of five to place an independent
ticket in the field and instructed Max
Ihmsen. chairman of the leagues
State committee, to inform Hearst of
its action. The committee adjourned
without waiting to hear from Hearst
who was speaking in Corning tonight
While Hearst's disgusted support
ers We're overthrowing his authority
and repudiating his ideal. the Republi-
can judiciary convention was in ses-
sion in Lyric Hall 1t nominated the
non-p partisan and Embossed ticket Sc
lected by the judiciary nominators
with the exception of William z. Wy
att. in whose stead Otto Rosalsky.
Judge OF the Court Of Special Sessions,
was chosen.
Only for the firm stand of Herbert
Parsons the entire nominated ticket
would have been chosen. Such action
had been advised by President Roose-
velt and Secretary of State Root, but
Parsons convinced the administration
that Judge Rosalsky deserved a NOM
ination and could strengthen the ticket
while, on the other hand. Judge Wyatt
is now on the bench.
This repudiation of Hearsf's deal
with Murphy by the independence
League is the most severe blow the
Hearst candidacy has yet received. 1t
came at a time when Hearst's agents
were seeking to patch up a truce with
Senator McCa-ren in Brooklyn under
which the league would forego nomi-
mating a ticket there in return for
some places on the judiciary ticket in
the Second district. McCarren's refusal
TO enter into a deal with Hearst was
forcible and final.
Tammany leaders expressed complete
satisfaction today over the fruits of the
Murphy Hearst judiciary deal and were
loud in their praise of the political sa-
gacity OF Murphy in gratifying the de-
mands of the Hearst clique with two
nominations when Hearst had openly
boasted that he would have at least six
10 peddle among his personal workers
Some of them went so far as to say
that developments of the next few days
would show that Hearst under the ju-
dietary deal agreed to withdraw his As
sembly, Senate and Congressional nom
nations in New York County. They
said, however, that this would not be
done with declarations to the public
but would be brought about in such
way that the public would think that
Hearst was sincere in his independent
action.
indicated this afternoon by Charles F.
Murphy, who. when asked If the nomi-
mating petitions were still being circu-
lated by Hearst, said: Il believe there
is disposition to withdraw them"
Throughout Tammany there was the
confident belief that Mr.. Hearst had
finally and fatty yielded to all the de-
mands OF Murphy, and from now till
the end of the campaign would do moth
ing without the leaders approval 1t
was said in Fourteenth street that
Hearst had been bluntly told there was
a growing revolt against him in Tam
many ranks and that unless he de-
ferred to Tammany without delay there
would be q Hearst calamity in New
York County on election day.
Evidences of a revolt have been
growing more and more apparent every
day. District leaders who have been
given to understand that they will be
opposed by Hearst in their fights are
talking openly Of knitting the head of
the ticket
Denouncing Hearst as a traitor to
Democracy, the Tamrany Times, Off
cial organ of Tammany Hall for the
last fourteen years, today bolted his
nomination. This action on the part Of
a weekly journal which depends upon
the support of the rank and file of
Tammany for its existence accentuated
the detection Of the Democratic votes
in this city and caused another cold
chill to run through the Hearst head
quarters in the Gilsey House.
