New York. May 26-William Travers
Jerome district attorney of New York.
took his seat at Cooper Union tonight
after an evening unique in the political
annals of the city. during which he at
tempted to explain the administration of
his office pursuant to his agreement to
give an account of his stewardship.
Hundreds of questions were literally
buried at him. and after a turbulent
meeting the 200 or more persons who
packed Cooper Union declined to regis
ter a vote of confidence. An attempt to
bring about such vote was made, but
il was Missed down by Mr.. Jerome's OPP
ponents. This ended a political innova.
tor which had been looked forward to
as a precedent-that of public officer
vindicating himself by frank recital be-
fore the people.
What effect this will have on Mr.. Jo-
rome's political ambitions is problemat-
ical 1t has been his course for some
time. it is understood of seeking a re-
nomination for district attorney on an in
dependent ticket.
