After the Tammanv judicial convention
on Wednesday night, when the news reached
the Gilsey House that only two active
members Of the Independence League
had been nominated by Tammany, ructions
were raised at the Gilsey House by the dis
appointed members of the Independence
League who had been expecting TO figure
among the nominees. Nearly all the MEM
beIs of the executive committee OF the
lea VI were candidates for judicial Office.
A midnight meeting OF the committee was
called. An effort was made to get Mr..
Hearst to come, but he refused to leave his
home at that hour. Max Ihmsen, Mr..
Hearst's political manager, was impressed,
however, and after the telephone wire
between Mr.. Hearst's house and the Gilsey
House had been kept hot for half an hOur
the statement was given out at $50 A. NJ.
which The SUN printed yesterday:
II has been the desire of the we COM
mittee OF the league to secure the nomination
OF Il nOn-partisan judiciary ticket. The
ticket named by the Tsmmany convention
contains the names of some good men and
some not satisfactory. The independence
League will watch the action OF the Republic
can convention with interest.
At Tammany Hall yesterday the implied
threat was regarded with indifference.
The friends Ct Mr.. Murphy said that the
I Ctataunanf IL 10 N frIa that 10 UNA uivan
out with the consent Of Mr.. Hearst (as it
was). was merely an effort to placate those
of his followers who had failed to obtain
nominations and that Mr.. Hearst was COM
tent before the convention met. Mr..
Murphy. W. Bourke Cochran and Lewis
Nixon were in touch with Mr.. Hearst nearly
all Wednesday afternoon, through, il is said,
William J. Corners and City Court Judge
Mccarthy.
Hearst was perfectly content with the
arrangements which were made in the
afternoon for the putting up of a joint
ticket, ;" one member Of the Tammany Hall
executive committee said yesterday. THE
statement which was put out from the
Gisey House this morning perhaps did
come indirectly from Mr.. Hearst. but it
means nothing. There seemed to he a
threat in the statement that Hearst would
indorse the Republican ticket, but he knew
at The time, as did every one else. hat the
Republicans were preparing to indorse the
ticket Of the Judiciary NominatOrs and the
next dev elopment you can safely look for
is a statement from Mr.. Hearst tonight
saying that while e would have been glad
to join in any movement for the nomina-
! ton of a non-partisan ticket he finds him.
self unable TO support the ticket Of the
nominators because il is made up Of cor
poration lawyers for the most part. 1t
seems to me hat Hearst il aiming at two
birds with one stone with the statement
sent out from the Gilsey House this morn
ing. The statement is soft soap for the
disgruntled at the Hearst headquarters
and il intimates to the man on the street
that there is no deal with Tammany Hall
and Mr.. Murphy after all. But You can
take it from me that Mr.. Hearst aoquiesced
, in the makeup Of last nights ticket"
is there any possibility so far a. you
know Of the league getting out an indie
pendent ticketp" Mr.. Murphy was asked.
Il might believe it IL | saw the petitions
filed" he said with a grin.
There are Il good many men up at the
Gilsey House who are sore, 1t was sug-
gested.
Il don't doubt it, Mr.. Murphy replied.
There are a good many sore folkes down
here too. What are You going TO do when
there are over a hundred candidates for
only ten nominations"
If Hearst threatens to throw down your
ticket will YOU have the convention brought
together again tomorrow and nominate
straight out TammAny men in place Of
Seabury and Ford?" Mr.. Murphy was asked.
1T will be time enough TO think Of that
when Mr.. Hearst makes the threat" MIR
Murphy replied.
is il n fact that you we're in communica-
ton yesterday with Mr.. Hearst and that
he agreed TO the ticket which was after
ward presented to the convention?"
Il won't talk about that" MIR. Murphy
responded.
Have you received any intimation to-day
that Mr.. Hearst is opposed TO the nominal
ton of Platzek, Erlanger, Brady and
McAvOy2" it was asked.
Those candidates were selected by the
convention and the convention il over"
was the only reply Mr.. Murphy would make.
II was suggested that Mr.. Hearst would
have until October l. for the fling OF pc
titions fo- independent candidates. whereas
the certificate Of the convention would have
TO he filed tonight. What If Hearst
should wait until after MORE and then
put up opposition candidates, as he has
proposed to do. for Congress, Senate and
the Assembly, it was asked.
Il understand that there IL a disposition
on the part OF Mr.. Hearst to withdraw those
opposition candidates." Mr.. Murphy said
with another grin. You haven't seen any
petitions knocking about yet, have you?
No? Well | don't think you will, either"
