Frank Moss will furnish the only
tight of any consequence in the pri-
maries IN this county.
When the time for filing designating
petitions of candidates for nomination
by the regular parties expired at mid
night last night there was only one
contesting petition filed for any of the
important nominations outside OF those
of Moss, who is a candidate for the
nomination for District Attorney
against Perkins in the Republican prl-
maries and against John J. O'Connell
in the Progressive primaries.
The American party of which Will
lam Sulzer was the founder and is still
the presiding genius, came into the
field with a full ticket, naming Frank
Moss for District Attorney.
Mr.. Moss will be sure of the Ameri-
can party nomination, as he is unop-
posed there, and Mr.. Sulzer says he has
the assurance of Mr. Moss that he will
be a candidate for election even should
he get no other nomination.
Against Justice LorenZ ZelIer DO
seph T. Ryan fled a petition to run IN
the Democratic primaries for the NOM
nation for City Court. Mr.. Ryan, who
has been prominent in Irish and Cath
Ollie circles, had $500 names on his
petition. ..
William H. Edwards ("Big BillO,
who started out to land the Demo
cratic nomination for Sheriff, with
drew Yesterday and filed no petition.
In statement he said the choice OF
Assemblyman Alfred +. Smith as the
candidate was satisfactory to him, as
il had met with the approval OF the or
ganization and independents generally.
IL shall contribute my best efforts to
the successof Mr.. Smith" Edwards an
nounced.
There were several contests filed for
the Assembly and Board of Aldermen
in the boroughs outside Manhattan
and the clerks of the Board OF Elec-
tons seemed to think that for the
smaller Offices greater advantage mad
been taken this year of the opportu-
nifty to fight the organization selec-
tions.
As already determined the Repub-
lican designees for the Supreme
Court were the same as the Demo
cratic with one exception. A petition
was filed for Abraham Schwarz in The
Bronx for the sixth Republican
designation. but with the understand
ing that he will withdraw and Justice
John NJ Tierney, the Democrat, sub,
stituted. A petition was Med Tor Saul
f. Rogers as Republican desiSnee for
the City Court, but he will Withdraw
in favor of Justice Lorenz Zeller,
Democrat.
Under the law designees may with
draw their names any time up TO Mon
day night. and there is an additional
twenty-four hours fors institutions.
The petitions for Justices John Proc
tor Clarke and Samuel Greenbaum were
obtained in all three parties by the
non-partisan judiciary committee, OF
which William NJ. Chadbourne was Sec
rotary. There were 1929 on the Re-
publican petition, 2,230 on the Demo
cratic and 1,l35 on the Progressive.
The other designees of the Demo
Gratis we're Justices Clarence ]. Shearn

the Supreme Court bench, and Justice
John ". Tierney, of the Municipal
Court bench.
Judge Edward Swami was designated
by Tammeny for District Attorney and
Assemblyman Alfred +. Smith for
Sheriff.
District Attorney Charles A. Perkins
was designated for denomination by
the Republicans and Frank X. Bowers
for Sheriff
The Progressives filed petitions for
the ticket Endorsed by them a week ago,
made up of party men, except Justices
Grcenbaum and Clarke. II is expected
that John j. O'Connell will retire in
favor of Frank Moss for District At
torney and that other substitutions will
be made. William Halpin is the candi-
date for Sheriff and Michael Schaap for
City Court. The other Supreme Court
designations of the Progressives are
