Court Justice James A. O'Gorman>
Democrat, of New York city, was elect

ton to William F. sheehan, would en-
ter the second caucus, which had been
adjourned from day to day since MOI
day.
At the close of day of almost coz
tinuous. negotiations the insurgents
capitulated and Justice O'Gorman was
elected. A few minutes before the bal
lot was cast Justice O'Gorman's resig-
nation from the bench was filed at the
Office Of the secretary of state as q
constitutional provision would have
prohibited his election while holding
the office of justice of the supreme
court.
