Il nto the secret until the name of Justice
Collins was found on the Murphy slate
presented to them Many reasons were
advanced for the action of Murphy. 1t
was said that Judge Talley had talked
too much, that he belonged to the wrong
wing of the Irish party. that Murphy was
getting square with "AP' Smith for
naming Talley instead OF District At
torney Edwin Swami to General Sessions.
Whatever the reason may have been
Murphy quickly ran to cover from the
sudden storm of disapproval and induced
Justice Collins to send formal declna-
tion Of the designation to the Board of
Elections. 1t was understood at the
time that this was the informal an
nouncement OF Murphy's surrender.
However, he put off finishing the bitter
dose until the last minute. 1t was not
until late yesterday that Murphy's
humiliation was complete.
ugly Situation Continues.
VI Justice Talley Is to be the Democratic
candidate, but 1t is believed the ugly
situation created In the first place can
not be smoothed over. AS one Democrat
expressed It: IF Murphy had any good
reason at all for turning Talley down In
the first place he should not have re-
versed himself. His action has made 1t
appear that he had no vital excuse in
the beginning The friends OF Judge
Talley cannot be pIacated by the Muir
ply repentance, while the friends of
Justice Collins are now up in arms.
All in all 1t Is generally considered a
sign of weakness on the part of MUIR.
