Judge Hcrrick now says he has rea-
son 20 believe that some of the Indc-
peudcnts who were against IT at that
time. because they thought lt viola
ton of the primary law, have changed
their minds. That is supposed 10 refer
TO William Church Osborn. chairman
Of the state committee, and his nde-
pendent friends He said at that time
that while he did not believe the Dem
ocrats should 90 on record then as try
inc TO do ANYTHING seemingly opposed
10 the spirit of the direct primary law
he thought IL might be necessary TO
bring some candidates in the field at
later conference.
However. the information here is
that Taumauv will still oppose any
eIs+e making by the conference. They

tlo,~ res1 reason is that they want TO

Judge Herrick has been closely asso-
ciated with Chairman Osborn recently
iu the drafting of the platform. The
fact that Judge Herrick thinks there
is q chance Of putting across his prOpo-

is taken TO indicate some knowledge
that the independent elder statesmen
at this conference viii far Outnumber
those at the Knlckerbocker.
Among those who Wlll support Judge
Helrick are Martin ". Littleton. Fred
eric r. Coudert, John A. Dix, former
Governor. and Augustus Thomas. In
formation here is that Tammany will
fight the suggestion Of candidates, eX-
4 cept. possibly, the fifteen for delegates
at-large to the constitutional conven-
tion.
Tammanv, or course. is anxious 10
