Tanllllany ENJOYS
Urge Newburger
ToDrop Judgeship
Others Appeal to Him to Be-
come a Candidate, and
Petitions Already Are
Out; Murphy Criticised

With the rumblings of revolt in his
ears because of the turning down of
Supreme Court Justice Newburger in
favor of Samuel Untermyer's son.
Charles f. Murphy, leader of TAM
many Hall, yesterday dispatched three
emissaries to visit the jurist ut his
summer retreat to urge him not 60 be
candidate.
AT the same time another Tammary
man--not identified with the direction
of its affairs. however-and friend Of
Justice Newburger, also started for
Plattsburg to importune the justice to
be candidate regardless Of the plead
ings of Mr.. Murphy's ENJOYS.
To insure his entrance as a candi-
date in the Democratic primaries
against Irwin Untermyer, friends Of
Justice Newburger began circulation
of designating petitions in his behalf.
"a scandalous disgrace" was the
characterization applied by Herbert +.
Limburg to the turning down of Jus
tice Newburger This was echoed by
numerous Tammany men yesterday.
Even close friends of Mr. Murphy
joined in the condemnation. Said one
of these:
"1f Justice Newburger does not quit
he will be reelected and the entire
Tammany ticket may go down to de-
feat. If this should happen Mr.. Mur-
ply Will have to retire and make room
inO h 1o of IL,
such blunders.'
Mr. Limhurg in his statement said:
"The newspaper stories that my
nomination for the Supreme Court was
under cons liberation are without any
foundation. AS a lawyer having re-
gard Tor the high standard of my pro-
fession, | regard as an insult the sug-
geston that I would entertain such a.
nomination at tho expense OF Justice
Newburger
ut was a scandalous disgrace to
faithfully and efficiently has served
the community for twenty eight years.
ut is about time that we find out
whether judicial Offices in Now York
are the property of one individual to
be disposed off as his personal motive
or interest may dictate. The voters of
all parties will unite to answer in no
uncertain terms
Mr.. Untermyer is thirty three years
old His friends say he has been prac-
tsing law for ten years.
There was talk yesterday of a bill
being introduced in the Legislature al
the next session providing that one
must serve as lawyer for at least
fifteen years before being eligible for
service on the Supreme Court bench
At present there is no restriction, al
though the law provides that a Justice
Of Special Sessions must have had at
least ten years experience as a lawyer
a Municipal Court Justice five years
and City Magistrate three years.

Nanv "Details
Help Make Friction

The chief cause of friction. as has
been said. is the budget. with its coo
individual items, and the demand o.
she Controller, under the law as he
nterprets it, that the budget he fol-
lowed absolutely in detail-that is.
that not a cent more than was sti-
mated when the budget was drawn be
spent for any one Of the 500 purposes
involved. no matter how much saving
De made along other lines. and that
no money be spent for any purpose. = o
matter how urgent, that was not listed
IN the budget, until the charges have
been approved by the Board of Esti-
mate.
1t is to this that the school heads
primarily object. They point ou- that
tie budget has to be completed, so tar
as they are concerned. sixteen months
before the last of the moneys it in
wolves are to be spent, and declare
there are 4 great number of emer-
gencies which cannot possibly be -ore-
seen and which have to be cared for.
but which the Controllers demands
make it possible to meet only after
long delay.

OF the union. which asked sundry
questions in regard to the Teachers

The question in NJ. Bohm's letters
and the answers approved by the board
ollow:

teachers Union violate that resulted
ia a drastic ruling which denied the

Of the department showing that rules
and regulations OF the Board Of Edu-
,ation had been violated at meeting
l.eld March 20.
q. Why was such action taken with
out giving the union an opportunity to
5e heard in its defence "A. The board
,..d not consider it necessary to go
further than the report of it's in
pectors.
Q.-What action of the Teachers
Union or its members induced the
,i0ard of Education to adopt the reso-
lation providing for the investigation
Z. the loyalty of the members of the

regulation that seriously affected the
growth of the union? A.-Because of
public utterances and printed reports
of the organization over the signature

already advised, 10 school organiza-
lion has been or will be denied the

resolution by Mr. Somers urging the
board to make a fve-ycar contract fo1
sae purchase of textbooks. President
trall said: "The price of textbooks is
going to be 25 per cent higher, and
cur expenditure for books will be about

that most of is work was done in
nine months and that all teachers are
