Murphyites Ignore 28 Year
Service and Choose Inter

LUCE is PUT ON TICKET
Slatemakers Defy Hearst
Justice Smith 0usted-Big
Fight in Sight.

In naming ticket for the fall cam
paign yesterday the Tammany Hall
executive committee, under the guild
ance of Charles F. Murphy. took two
steps that are likely to start an hon.
est to goodness fight in what normally
would be an of year.
The committee turned down Justice
Joseph E. Newburger for renomina-
tion to the Supreme Court in favor of
a son of Samuel Untermyer. This was
done in spite of the twenty-eight years
service Of the Justice on the bench
and in the face of an Endorsement Of
Justice Newburser by the Republican
and the recommendations
of four bar associations.
The committee decided to be done
with William Randolph Hearst and all
his works, refused to meet any of his
wishes and in effect defled him to do
his worst.
There was no relation between these
two decisions in spite of some at
tempt to weave such connection.
T1OWcNtI, pIdItlGhl CilCCt VI thC
refusal to continue Justice Newburger
on the bench, a man who three times
has been elected on Tammany ticket.
has been to furnish a real issue upon
which Mr.. Hearst may base a cam
paign for the defeat of the entire
Democratic ticket
Slate Picked by Murphyites.
This is the slate picked by Mr.. Muir
ply and his lieutenants for recon-
to the Democratic voters in
the primaries:
For President of the Board Of Alder
L. Moran of The Bronx, to
succeed himself.
For Justice of the Supreme Court
Justice Robert L. Luce of Manhattan,
to succeed himself.
For Justice OF the Supreme Court
Irwin Untermyer, to succeed Justice Jo-
seph f. Newburger.
For Surrogate-Senator James A.
Fowler.
For Justice of the Supreme Court
Major Thomas T. Reilley. to succeed
Justice Richard II. Smith.
For Justice OF the City Court-Jo-
seph NJ. Callahan of The Bronx, to sue
coed Justice James A. Allen.
For Justice of the City Court-Louis
Wendell, to succeed Justice Lorenz Eel
Ter.
The refusal to concede a renomina ton
to Justice Newburger may be llkened
to the turning down OF Justice Joseph
f. DAILY for denomination by Richard
Croker in 1898. Justice DAILY was re-
on an independent ticket by
the lawyers, who went to his support.
A vigorous fight was made and the
Democratic candidate was defeated.
Many Democrats credited the election
of Theodore Roosevelt as Governor that
year to the cutting of the Tammany
ticket by friends of Justice DAILY. This
blunder started the downfall of Croker
as boss.
Samuel S. Koenig, Republican leader,
said last night that Republicans would
not withdraw Justice Newburger from
their slate. although he Is a Democrat.
What course the Justice will take,
whether he will be a candidate against
Tammany. will not be known until he
has had an opportunity of consulting
with his friends. He is spending his va
cation at the Hotel Champlain, Bluff
Point, near Plattsburg. having gone
there July . with the understanding
eAos hho was a I1dLIeT OF
course.
Newburger Refused to Come.
1t was learned last night that an at
tempt was made to get Justics Newbur-
ger to come down to the city In order
that a plea might be made to him to
withdraw. This he refused to do. Tam
many leaders declare the excuse given
was that he was too Ill. and they are
giving this alleged poor health as q rea-
son for not renominating him.
If Justice Newburger should decide to
resent the slight put upon him and 70
before the voters for vindication he un-
doubtedly would have the backing of an
Independent movement that would be
organized by the bar In the interest of a
Judiciary. he would be the
regular nominee OF the Republicans and
would have the support OF William Ran
dolph Hearst.
Representatives OF Mr.. Hearst, who
had heard It whispered that Tammany
would name Mr.. Untermyer's son and
would try TO make II appear that they
were doing this for Mr.. Hearst because
the latter and Mr.. Untermeyer have
been friends, got in touch with the ed
itor, who Is at his ranch near San Fran
cisco. The result was that this state
ment was made public by l. ]. O'Reilly,
for years the recognized mouthpiece OF
Mr.. Hearst, before the meeting OF the
Tammany committee:
II can say for William Randolph
Hearst. who is out of the city on vaca-
ton, that he will vote for Justice New
burger and support him FOR reelection IN
every possible way. on any ticket, party
or independent"
Mr.. OReilly made a similar statement
for Herbert r. Limberg. a Hearst sup.
porter. who was suggested in the rumors
as a possible nominee in place Of Justice
Newburger.
Murphy Ignores Warnings.
In spite Of these warnings. Mr.. Murphy
put through the designation OF Mr.. I'm
termyer's son. Mr.. Untermyer has lons
been one OF the standbys OF Tammany
Hall. having worked particularly hard
for the election of Mayor Hylan. He hai
been a liberal contributor TO Democratic
campaign funds for years Mr.. o'Reiliy
