Although there was a general denial
that the name of Magistrate Corrigan
was seriously considered, il Is under
stood that the committee was told OF
the stand taken by Colonel Roosevelt
en- his availability as District Attor-
ney Corrigan was denounced as not
being a Progressive and as being un-
available because he was seeking the
Democratic nomination. However, some
of the leaders are in favor of indorsing
him if he gets the Democratic indorse-
ment.
Cambridge Livingston, Change Of
Grade Commissioner under Mayor Gay
nor and an old friend of Colonel
Roosevelt, called on the Colonel yester-
day in support of Corrigan.
The Colonel said, according to Liv-
ingston, that the Office should not be
considered as a political one, and ex-
pressed the hope that the man chosen
TO fill it would be of the type of Magis-
trate Corrigan.

ticket was passed by the Progressives

were rejected-Hugh Gordon Miller,
who wanted to be named for the Su-
rreme Court, and "Suspender Jack"
