Murphy that II Tammany would nominate
Justice Whitney the Republican county
conv ention would also name him despite
the fact that Mr.. Whitney is n Democrat.
Mr. Murphy. however refused to con-
slider the suggestion. II - understood
that hs took the ground that Judge Whit
ney had always prided himself on being
an independent and mad never besu
affiliated with the local organization.
Another reason. Mr.. Murphy pointed out.
Why Judge Whitney had no claim on the
organization was that he had accepted
his appointment Last year from Gov.
