An attempt to bring about fusion on

mer law partner, named for the Su-
preme Court on both tickets.

4 motion asking Mr.. 0'Connell to

lost, is to 10. /
The proposition for fusion on the SUI /
preme Court and City Court caused |
red hot wrangle in the executive com
mittee of the Progressive organization
at the Washington Square headquar-
tiers. They sguabbled from o'clock
until after o'clock. .
Jacob Lessed, acting county chair
man in the absence OF Francis W. Bird, I
and William Halpin, leader Of the Sth, /
were in favor, it is said, Of accepting .
the proposition Of the Republicans. /
The Republicans had named Isidor .
Wasservogel and John r. Davies for ,
the Supreme Court and the Progress /
sives John J. O'Connell and James .
Cowden Meyers. !
For the City Court the Republicans .
named Lloyd P. Stryker and Benjamin |
Bulmer, and the Progress!ves Jacob r. |
Schif apd Assemblyman Michael
Schaap. The Republicans in The Bronx
were anxious that George V. Mullan1,
former law partner Of Mayor Mitchell
be named for the Supreme Court. The ,
Mayor had told his Progressive friends !
that he would like to see Mr.. Mullan /
named by them in fusion with the Re- |
puhlicans.
Samuel S. Koenig said the Repub-
licans would be willing to put Mr.. Null |
Ian in place Of Mr.. Davies and name |
Mr.. Scbaap in place of Benjam Bull
mer for the Supreme Court If the Pro-
gressives would indorse Isidor Wasser- /
vogel and Mr.. Mullan for the Supreme !
Court and Mr.. Stryker Republican can
didatc, for the City Court
There was a loud wall from the Pro- +
gressives when this proposition was
put forward. II was argued in favor
of the Mullan nomination that it would
continue the favor of Mayor Mitchell,
who already had been good to the or,
the plan said it was no better TO stand
for a Mitchell Republican than II was
for a Koenig Republican.
Finally, when it looked as though the
meeting would break up in a general
fight, Mr.. Halpin moved that the Pro,
gressives favored fusion il they could
get it on equal terms. committee,
consisting of Mr. Lesser, William ".
Chadbourne and the Progressive ju-
dietary candidates, was appointed 20
decide the question.
After another wrsnPle this commit
tee decided that 1t would not stand for
the judiciary fusion.
In the 18th Senate District Ogden l..
Mills. the Republican candidate got
the fusion Endorsement, and Lyndon
Bates. the Progressive candidate for
the Senate in this district, withdrew
lie will be named both by the Republi
cans and Progressives for Congress in
ia the 18th Congressional District. To
make room for his nomination, Edgar
Brombergcr, the Republican candidate
for Congress, and Emory K. Buckner.
the Progressive candidate, fled their
destinations last night.
The destinations Of Bulmer, Republi
can candidate for the City Court, and
Jacob H. Schif. Progressive, were filed,
but both candidates probably will be
Iedesignated to-day.
