Republicans Not Likely to Indorse

Unless there Is a radical change in the attitude

Endorsement for District Attorney by the Repuo-
can organization
President Parsons Of the Republican county COM

,p,,,ir,. conforming Jerome's strength among the
voters in the Republican and in other parnes'
Mr. Parsons Will not comment on the SITUATION
The district leaders who have talked with MN nave
not been able to discover any leaning on MS part
toward the Jerome candidacy On the o'her manu-
II is fact that nearly district leader SOUNDED
bv Mr. Parsons has reported that jerome has lost
ground with the voters, and that he would not
prove TO be strong candidate if nominated
The efforts Of the District Attorney and his
friends are confined for the present to represslhg
the Jerome boom. Mr.. jerome is afraid OF start
ing his campaign TOO It was learned yes
terlav that no formal announcement will be made
lv Mr. Jerome concerning his candidacy until some
time in July.
AS already stated he is scheduled TO be the prin-
cipal guest dinner on the lower East Side on
June TO- at which he viii discuss his own admin
istraton paying particular attention to the charge
made bv John T Cronin at the Cooper Union meet
ing that there Is sentiment among the plain peo-
pie that under the jerome administration OF the
District Attorneys office there is one law for the
rich and another for the poor.
Il is understood that Mr. jerome viii review at
length the record Of his administration with ref
erence to protecting the poor and friendless espe-
ciallv on the lower East Side. where the District
Attorney has maintained residence for the last
seven and q half years.
Meanwhile there is the usual speculation concern
ing mayoralty candidates. 1t is fact. as stated
in The Tribune on Sunday. that the friends of the
District Attorney desire Justice Bowling. OF the
Supreme Court nominated for Mayor. II that is
brought about they Will do their best 10 nave
Jerome go on the Tammany ticket.
The outburst against Police Commissioner Bins-
ham by Justice Gaynor. OF the Appellate Division,
turned attention to the justice a mayoralty
candidate yesterday, but the Tammany men are
not easily stampeded They admit that Gaynor
would poll a large independent vote. but they ask
themselves What could do with a man like
Gaynor in the City HaI?" 1t is the well founded
conviction that Justice Gaynor would balk at even
friendly suggestions from the Tammany Wigwam
which makes him unattractive to the average hide
bound Tammany man.
