appointed Mr.. Talley to the General
Sessions bench over the protests Of
Murphy and Foley last December.
Second-The pressure exerted by Cor
nelus +. Collins, justice Of Special
Sessions Court, chosen yesterday for
the General Sessions bench, and his
whose friends supposed he was to be
named for Borough President, was
large contributing factor.
Third-The action Of the Republl-

and Italian blood, compelled Mr..
Murphy to give heed to the members
Of his own organization who clamored
for the designation Of prominent
Jew and some popular Italian
These three factors finally eliml-
mated Judge Talley and brought about
the naming Of Joseph f. Mulqueen,

However, none of the factors con-

Ialley were comparable to the revival
or the controversy between Murphy
and former Governor Smith over the
appointment of Talley instead of Dis
Slate Accepted as Named
Murphy, backed by the Hearst Hylan
crowd at the City Hail. is so rigorous
in his grip on the Tammany machine
that his slate, involving the political
demise of Judge Talley, was accepted
