He compelled the Democratic State Commit

On Monday last. under the accelerating influ-
ence OF the political knout welded by Murphy
and Conners. the state committee. by a vote OF

nate the two Bartletts- Professor McCarre1
admonished Messrs. Murphy and Conners that
1t was time to stop playing "fathead politics.
whatever brand that may be-and norinats
the Bartletts
The vote Of so 10 IS shows Just where the
state committee stands on the BartIetts" said
Mr.. Murphy on Thursday. and then he predicted
that they would not be nominated by the DEM
Ocrats, no matter what the Republicans might
do That looked brave enough in print and
Tammany henchmen all over town began to
talk about their organization forcing the nomI-

Meanwhile the speeches made for the Bart

and Senator McCarren were doing their work
among the gentlemen of the cornfelds' Let
ters began to pour in to Mr.. Corners and others
saying the Democratic party would be buried
out of sight on the eve OF a Presidential cleo
tion If 1t did not stop juggling with the Judiciary
nominations and name the two BartIetts. Good
friends of Charles F. Murphy on the Supreme
Court hancb
to continue to be happy he would better turn In
and nominate the two BartIetts
Mr. Murphy couldn't see it that vxav and
turned his eve toward the Republican State
Committee and Justice William J. Gaynor. He
hoped that the Republicans would go into a
combination with him and name Gaynor When
the Republicans yesterday noon dashed this
hope TO the ash heap. Mr.. Murphy f>.Iratfvelv
threw himself supplicatingIy az the head og
Justice Gaynor. Justice Gaynor has record
for doing heartrending things In times OF no-
htical exigency. and when Mr. Murphy. with
political red paint all over his hands. fr,plorad
him for succor. the Judge succored him. as
usual, with an
MCARREN CALM IN VICTORY.
All the while Senator McCarreu was sr,,1,,x
coldly between bets and saying: "sit tight,
We've got the ring in the bulls nose. III show
you how Is will beat 80"
And he did It's a fine story for all the way
farers not on the NIurphy-Conners band wagon.
and even the Tammany men last night smiled
as they rubbed their sore spots.
The State Committee scheduled to meet
az 3 o'clock. When Chairman Conners learned
of the action of the Republicans IN naming the
two Bartletts he held a hurried conference with
Charles F. Murphy, Daniel F. CohaIan and
others. The only salvation left was JustIcs
Gaynor's assent to so the state ticket Mr..
Conners and his colleagues took steps at once
TO see If such thing could be arranged
They had been told that the COMMITTEES Of the
Workingmen's Federation OF the State OF New
York had gained the impression from a visit to
Justice GaynOr that he would consider the sc-
ceptance Of such nomination.
GAYNOR TURNS COMMITTEE DOWN
4 messenger was sent TO Brooklyn, and Jus
tice Gaynor consented TO come across the bridge
and meet a committee from the Democrats at
Delmonico's This committee consisting OF
Charles F. Murphy. ". ]. Conners and Daniel
p. COhalan. went TO DelmOnico's at so O'Clock
They told Gaynor that he could have the nom
ination. il he desired it. and tried TO persuade
him that his election would be assured II was
impossible learn just what Justice GaynOr
said. but the committee informed by him
thaJ ne 1elt that so long as ne mad oeeu nom

Supreme Court by the Republicans and the In
dependence League and was 10 receive the
Democratic nomination in that district also, il
would he unwise for him to decline in order To
accept a later nomination for the Court of Ap-
peals.
When the committee members returned TO the
Hotel Victoria they had long faces. but they
would not admit they had been in conference
with Justice GaynOr.
Then the Murphy and COnners people got to-
gether and tried to devise some way Of defeat
ing Senator McCarren's plan for the nominal
tion of Judge Willard Bartlett Suggestions
were asked for and. among others. the name ot
Justice John W. GOff was mentioned Conners
wanted to name Denis b. LUcey. but Murphy
would not stand for him. Then they threw up
the sponge and decided there nothing to do
but to follow the lead of the Republicans and
name Judge Willard Bartlett

Chairman Conners said: well, made them
