Expected To- might.

Inere has been so much wire pulling
for the places yet untitled on the fusion
ticket that the executive committee OF
the fusion committee probably will make
no effort tonight to decide upon csndi-
dates. The committee. II is said, realizes
the importance OF giving proper repre-
sentation to the various anti-Tammany
political factors. now that the ticket for
the Board Of Estimate has been decided
upon. The trouble has been 10 decide
what proper representation would be AS
a result, further conferences between
members of the fusion committee and
leaders OF the various organizations will
be held
It was believed last night that all the
executive committee could do tonight
would be to receive preliminary report
Of the special subcommittee which has
been considering candidates for judicial
| Offices. However, no candidates will be
selected tonight. That much seems 20
be sure.
1t is understood that the subcommittee
is Of the opinion that Justice Eugene A.
Philbin should be named as one OF the
two candidates for the Supreme Court.
AS TO the second candidate. there is a
wide difference Of opinion. The Pro-
gressives are urging the name OF George
W. Alger, while the candidates. OF Her
bert r. Limberg and James a. Allen are
being pushed from Independence League
sources.
II is being intimated that William RAN
dolph Hearst Is holding out for the nom
inatiOn Of one Of these men as the price
of his unconditional support Of the fusion
| ticket II is believed. however. that there
! is little real authority for such an init
nation
Among the Republican candidates for
/ the Supreme Court nominations on the
/ fusion ticket are Judge William II. Wad-
hams. Robert G. Morris. former president
OF the Republican club; a. s. Gilbert and
| Justices Iauer and Spiegelberg. OF the
/ Municipal Court
| Samuel Koenig, president Of the Re-
publican County Committee. was in con-
/ ference Yesterday afternoon and last
night with district leaders in regard 10
the attitude the organization should take
toward the county and borough nomins-
tons Such individual conferences prob
ably will take the place Of a regular
meeting OF the executive committee.
II is said the attitude Of the Republican
organization is that the fusion ticket
must have proper Republican representa-
ton. not because OF the patronage In
yolved. but simply as recognition OF the
strength that the Republican organiza-
ton gives to the fusion ticket as
whole
II seems 70 be generally understood
that Max s. Grisenhagen is 10 be re-
nominated for Register and that the Re-
publicans also viii get the Sheriff nomi-
nation, If they are aoIe to agree upon
candidate. There s a lively fight on
for this office. but John J. Lyons, leader
OF the Slst Assembly District, seems to
have the most friends among the mem
bers Of the executive committee.
William +. Schneider. County Clerk.
who is a Wilson Democrat, unquestion-
ably will be renomnated, il is said. lie
is a great friend of John Purroy Mitchell.
who is likely 70 have much 10 say about
the makeup Of the remainder OF the
ticket. as he did four years ago, when
the committee OF one hundred was urg-
ing him 10 be the candidate for presi-
dent OF the Board OF Aldermen. Mr..
Koenig will have conference with Mr..
Mitchell to-day.
A committee representing lawyers ana
others who have had 10 do business with
the Registers Office has written 10 the
fusion committee urging the denomination
Of Register Grifenhagen..
The fusion committee has decided not
TO name candidates for coroners or tor
members OF the Assembly or the Board
Of Aldermen The Republican organiza-
ton of Manhattan. however. has taken
the stand that the fusionists should make
a complete ticket all the way down the
limo II the other organizations expect
the Republicans 10 give support to the
men OF other political faiths hiSh up on
the ticket. It was said, they in turn
should be willing 10 lend their assistance
70 the election OF Assemblymen ana AZ
derynen. of whom the Republicans should
have their proper share.
The meetings OF the Republican desig-
Mating committees will be held next week
a. follows: City committee and judiciary
committee. first department. Tuesday
county committee. Wednesday: borough
Thursday; Assembly. aldermanic and
committees for the designation OF candi-
dates for delegates 10 the state conyen-
ton, Friday.
District Attorney Whitman was not IN
town yesterday. but his friends said he
was seriously considering a request that
he campaign not only in this county
where he will be running. but also in the
other boroughs for the fusion ticket for
the Board Of Estimate.
Frank Hendrick, who recently Volun-
teered TO run for Mayor on third ticket,
sent a letter last night 10 John 5. Nc
Kune, chairman OF the Republican city
Committee, in which he announced that
he would apply 10 the Supreme Court for
AN Injunction restraining Mr. Mckune
and the other members OF the committee
from indorsing or designating John Pur-
roy Mitchell as the party candidate for

sons that Mr.. Mitchell is an enrolled
Democrat as well as a federal ofticeholc-
