The saticct % greatest embarrsss-
ment with Nr. koenlg and his advisers
IS agie9 nE upon q nominee for Dis
trict Attorney, The temporary OBJ
Stacic is former City Magistrate Emil
f. Fuchs and his loyal supporters. A
week ago the friends of Mr. Fuchs IN Il
formal statement announced that he
would be a candidate for Judge Of
places to be filled in that court this
fall
As the leaders already had decided
20 nominate Judge Morris Koenig 10
succeed himself, and as Judge Fuchs
and Judge koenig in their fraternal
and social relations appeal to the same
electorate. the leaders cast about to
satisfy the Fuchs men with another
place for their favoritc The Fuchs
admirers said that if Judge Fuchs did
not run for Judge OF General Sessions
he would run for District Attorney.
and that if he We're not chosen for
either of these places by the organiza-
ton he would run independently in the
Republican primaries for General SEES
sions.
After an al-day tussIe with this sit
uatlon II seemed certain last night that
JOHN Kirkland Clarke would be agreed
upon as the candidate for District At
tornev. With this point practically SET
tied, President Koenig decided to throw
the General Sessions Judeeship prob
lem into the executive committee this
afternoon ana let the committee saw
who they want as the candidate.
Clarence II. Fay, Commissioner Of
Public " orks under Borough President
Curran, simplifed the matter of choos-
ing candidate for president Of the
borough by appearing before the con
ference at the National Republican
Club and stating his position. He told
the conferees that from the start he
had stated that the proper thing for
HIM to do as a city official was TO at
tend to the duties OF b $ Office, and that
Il he had any time lea for politics he
wanted to help Major Curran, his chief.
he said that he had not shifted from
this early position, and he suggested
10 the conference that it would be we'll
to leave him off all states His action
yesterday apparently has increased the
probability that Ernest f. Ebert. pres
ldent OF the PRIMERS Association and
former member OF the Board Of Edu-
cation, viii be chosen for president of
the borough
Herman W Boyer seems to stand the
best chance Of getting the nomination
for County Clerk. The friends of VII
liam +. Schneider. the incumbent, have
tried TO impress the Republican leaders
with Mr.. Schneiders availability, but
have not succeeded.
Joseph for City Court
For judges OF the City Court it seems
practically certain that Samuel J. Jo-
seph, Of the Bronx. will be one Of the
nominees. Friends of William II.
Chefosh. Of Manhattan. are supporting
HIM for the other place. but the lead
c. SAID last night that the second
place is open meaning that some
one other than Mr.. Chorosh may be
CHOSEN to-day.
Friends OF City Marshal Peter J.
Ge'fney, Of the 18th Assembly District,
brought forward his name last night

DR.. William Jay Schiefelin, chair
man of the Citizens Union, yesterday
came out IN strong statement in sup
port of John Kirkland Clark for Dis
trict Attorney
The Citizens Union believes" sand
Dr. Schieffelin, that the voters Of New
York County have an unusual oppor-
tuhity to rehabilitatc the office Of Dis
trict Attorney in the public regard by
the election OF John kirkland CLARK.
Mr. Clxrh, in our estimation, would ada
strength TO the coalition ticket.
