JEROME FOR BOWLING
WANTS HIN NOMINATED.
Has Told Murphy That He Would
Work for JUSTICES Election.

District Attorney Jerome would like TO have Jus
rce Victor J. Bowling nominated for Mayor by
Tsmmany Hail. He is close personal friend or
the Supreme Court justice and has let II be known
20 Charles +. Murphy that he would be willing 70
take part in campaign for Justice DoWling's cleo
tion.
probably true that the District Attorney him
self would like 20 run on the Tamnany ticket for
re-electiOn Il is understood that he has assert
cd his willingness 10 go the stump for Justice
Bowling regardless OF his own possible candidacy
for District Attorney.
AS things stand now, Mr.. Murphy's first choice
for the MayoTalty nomination is Justice Bowling
and II may be said that this nomination would not
be disJasteful to Senator Patrick IL McCarren, the
Kings County leader. Although he cannot afford
10 say openly, Senator McCarren would not look
upon the candidacy of Justice Gaynor with any de-
gree OF enthusiasm. II would mean that the Con-
trolershp nomination. which always has been
looked upon Brookyn's part Of the city ticket,
would be lost that borough. u has been through
the Controllers Office. a great extent. that Nc
carren has been able retain his leadership in
Brooklyn. He could not expect TO command much
patronage should Justice Gaynor be elected Mayor.
Justice Gaynor WI be back from Europe early
next week and his friends expecting him 10
make a statement regarding his attitude toward
the mayOralty nomination after his return.
Some go far predict he will resign
from the bench and accept independent nomi-
nation. in &c the question. which has been
troubling the minds OF not a few politicians since
the Gaynor pot began to bubble whether he would
accept Tammany nomination or Endorsement
friend OF the Brooklyn jurst said last night:
Justice Gaynor is in wise unmindful of the
influence welded by Tammany Hall in this city.
He realizes the that II can command. He is
strongly of the impression that Charles F. Murphy
Is so bad he has been painted, and he has
expressed the opirion that the leader OF Tammany
Hall is willing this year nominate good ticket.
] do not believe Mr.. Gaynor would consent to head
a ticket the remainder OF which was made up OF
whose only qualification for Office long
service for the machine. He would insist strong
nominees from tcp 10 bottom. II Mr. Murphy
should be willing 10 make this concession. I
sure that Justice Gaynor would be glad TO accept
Tammany nomination
IL was suggested last night that possibly Mr..
Murphy might have in mind using the OF
Justice Gaynor TO neutralize the self-made boom
OF Mayor Mcclellan for the Democratic nomination
for Governor next year. Justice Gaynor, having
decided 10 take up political career. might look
with favor on a nomination for Governor. Should
he be elected Mayor this year and then be nomi-
mated for Governor next fall IL is possible that
Tammany President Of the Board 90 Aldermen
would have the pleasure Of serving as Mayor for
AT least a year. until the general election the
following fall
There has been some suggestion that an attempt
would be made 10 put through a resolution indicat-
ing a possible choice for the mayoralty nomination
at the meeting Of county representatives, the
Hall is not likely, It is said. show its hand
prior to the so-called harmony" conference Of
leading Democrats at Saratoga on September g.
What develops there will have a great deal TO do
with the way Murphy shapes his this fall,
it is considered.
