GREENBAUM CAUSES
WORRY IN TAMMANY
Foley Faction Said to Be OPP
posed to denomination
of the Justice.

Tammany insured for itself an in
creased revenue OF Ss,2s0 a year By
raising the membership in the Demo
cratic ccunty committee from 5.oIs 10
$3.50 las, night. but did no succeed
In ructing a maj slate OF candi-
dates for the primary OF September IS.
A difference OF opinion az TO nominees
for the Supreme Court has assumed al
mos, the proportions OF a controversy
II must be settled before the slate can
be completed.
A gn up Of district leaders. OF which
Thomas F. Foley. IL Is said. Is the leader.
Is against the Endorsement OF Justice
Samuel Greenbaum for reelection. they
say he isn't "A Democrat and that there
are plenty OF deserving lawyers close
TO Tammany who ought TO get the NOM
nation. Justice Greenbaum was elected
10 the bench in 1902 as an independent
Democrat. Since then he has given 50
little attention 20 politics that many u
his friends don't know what his party
10.
Mr.. Foley Is represented as having
told Charles +. Murphy that ne won't
stand for G~reenRaum. and that the whole
judicial ticket will be questioned II
Grtenbaum Is left in. For his part Mr..
Murphy is mindful OF two facts. One
Of them Is that .Justlse Greenoaum has
been Endorsed not only by Repuoli-
cans and ProgresSves but by the Bar
Association, the ounty Lawyers Asso-
citation and by a spec.a: committee OF
well known lawyers who have go to-
gether on a basis OF non-partsanship
In behalf OF a Judge whose recorl they
deem Immaculate. The other tact of

wrecked the party's chances in the State
In 1895 by denying a denomination TO
Justice J. seph Francis Daily.
l. is considered improba bic that Mr..
MurT,Hy will consent 20 a turning down
OF Justice Greenbaum. but thus far those
who are clamoring for II have not been
dehnitelv overruled
Mr.. Murphy arrived at Tammany Hall
last night al : Is o'clock M attended
a meeting OF the executive committee.
This committee drew up the official call
for the primary OF September 2s and
Also changed the ratio OF representation
in the genera. or county committee.
Heretofore there has been one member
for every twenty-five voters hereafter
there will be one 70, every twenty-five
voters, Each Committeeman In taxed
SO a year, so the increase OF ss2 men,
bers raises the income from this source
from s50.4S0 to s60,30O a year. The
executive committees action was rati-
fed by the county committee a few
minutes later.
District leaders had an informal dis
cussion Of candidates before the com
m!ttees met. For District Attorney the
preferences were for Judge Swami, As
s!stant District Attorney Delehanty,
Magistrate Corrigan II Thomas w
Churchill.
The Sheriff talk centred about the
names OF Christy Sullivan and Richard
J. Delaney. with some interest aroused
by the candidacy OF Big Bill Edwards
There are indications that the real in
side candidate for sheriff has no, been
publicly mentioned, and ttAt Mr.. Muir
ply will try TO keep II secret until ahou,
time for the INA hl!ng OF designations
on September I.
All factions agree that Justices Clarke
Shearu and Delehanty should be re,
nominated. but this harmony may be
shattered II the Greenbaum sentiment
prevails. Tom Foley Va for Magistrate
Corrigan for District ATTORNEY At as
he Is said 10 be against Greenbaum for
Justice. As Mr., Foley's influence In
Tammany Is second only to that OF Mr.
Murphy himself, his followers are fore
casting disaster II he is ignored.
