1875. Democratic Talley, 2iS,27o;
Mancuso, aos,s1o.
Three years age the Republicans took
advantage of q similar situation which
Koenig rejected this year aud elected
Supreme Court Justice Neubergar, q
Fammany man wffG had been turned
down by Murphy, and Supreme Court
Justice McCook. straight Republican,
The two Tammany candidates, Luce
and Untermyer, were badly defeated,
The entire Tammany judiciary slate
would have been defeated again this
year, as it was ia 1919, il Koenig had
not fallen in with Murphy's scheme TO
destroy Cohalan.
There are many prominent Repub-
iicans, members of the Supreme Court
bench. and men active in politics who
are loyal supporters of Governor Mill
Ter who are hoping that Koenig will
withdraw and place Cohaian IN his
place.
Coleman can withdraw up to mid
night Friday. and Cohalan can be sub
stituted up to midnight of the follow
ing Tuesday Ie Coleman does not
withdraw before Friday he remains on
the ticket
Cohalan will run. There are power
ful friends of his in Tam1nany, Hall
who are making vigorous e1ive on
Murphy. Every Irishman in the city
who is identified with the Irish move
ment, whether they are advocates of q
Free State or q Republican, are to q
man behind Cohalan.
Irish Fight for Coha4an
The Cohalan followers of this sort
have bombarded Murphy and his candi-
date, John P. O'Brien, to make way for
Cohalan, as the lawyers of the city
have been demanding. The United Irish
Counties Societies--I38 in number
formally adopted resolutions indorsing
Cohalan, as did the Friends of Irish
Freedom.
Cornelius Meany, past president of
the United Irish Counties Societies,
said last night:
"There is popular misconceptfon
that we are supporters of De Valera.
The contrary is true. We Americans
idly behind Collins and the Free
Staters as we are behind Cohalan--and
we are behind Cohalan to the death"
Members of Tammany Hall have
made personal visits on many of the
district leaders, telling them that they
must use their influence on Murphy,
and failing that, that they must sup
port Cohalan in any event. Some of
the leaders visited on behalf of Cohalan
by their own followers include j. J.
Hallahan, Of the 21st Assembly Dis
trict; Michael j. Cruise. co-leader with
Murphy, of the 18th; Stephen Ruddy,
of the Sd; James J. Hagan, of the 7th,
and j. y. Mccormick, of the 22d. Within
sthe next twenty -four hours all the lead
ers will have been urged in similar
fashion.
Many of the Tammany leaders have
called personally on Cohalan. and told
him that whether O'Brien withdrew or
not they would support Cohalan.
The petitions designating O'Brien
were filed last night. Colemans was
filed last Friday, when some of
Koenig's leaders were trying to reach
him to demand that he call the sxecu-
tive committee together again co re-
consider its action and nominate
Cohalan.

Y. y. H. & H Head Speaks.

BOSTON, Nov. 22-Proposals for
consolidation of New England railroads

James H. Hustis of the Boston & Maine
railroad and President f. j. Pearson of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad today at continued hearing
held at the state house by the governor s
committee To investigate the railroad
problem.
The Boston & Maine is seeking no
alliance at this time with any railroad in
or out of New England. President Hustis
said. Such an alliance. the road manage
ment feels, would not be beneficial to the
1T the present time. The queS-
tion being one for careful study. how
ever. he said the present was good time
to consider il.
The Boston & Maine head urged the
need for regulating motor truck traffic
where. as common carrier in interstate
or intrastate traffic it came into eompe-
tition with the railroads, which were sub
Ject TO such regulation.
President Pearson said that some at
tention should be given to the rights of
stockholders in the plans for consonda-
tion. More OF the plans thus far ad-
vanced he said. had taken the stock
holders into consideration, notwithstand-
ing that they had suffered much and for
