;-MURPRY'S THORN \;:How to Prevent the Election of Popular Justice Caused Him Sleepless Nights. AN IDEA IN A THREAT. | a a ( be relied upon to “hold the } | Ne i) Tammany’s New Boss at Last Decided to Name No He- brew for the Supreme Bench in Convention. , ‘Te problem that {s causing loss of Meep and a headache to “Smiling * Charlie” Murphy, and taxing his pollt- foal ability, 1s how to prevent the elec- jtion of Justice Alfred Steckler over all the Tammany candidates for the Su- Court. ‘The leader 1s confident that the Tammacy majority in Man- hattan and the Bronx will be a big one, but he realizes that Justice Steckler 1s probably 40,000 stronger than any other man and that number of votes take. from the Tammany candidate and placed in the opposite column would | overwhelmingly elect the man samed | Im the latter. The Boss's Dilemma. Mr, Murphy first devoted himself to peearch for a man of the same religious f fatth as Justice Steckler and who might Hebrew vote” for the Tammany ticket. But Yhere was an embarrassment of cant!- fates, eaoh backed by trong dele; tions from sympathetic organisations, Rnd each clamorous for thelr favorite, mo that In the selection of any one Murphy ran the risk of turntyg all the others against the ticket Th hot and hasty threat of the spokesman for a committee of a hun- ' @red, ropresenting several organiza- tions, gave the puzzled boss a new idea, and the outcome will be that to-night’s County Convention will omit to name any Hebrew for the Supreme Court, if the present programme is not changed. ‘The threat which brought this about was that “every Hebrew looks over his ballot on entering the booth and wherever he finds a Hebrew ame he votes it, no matter what column he finde it in, and if no Hebrow Js named on the Tammany ticket Justice Steckler will carry the whole Republican tloket through.” ‘Mr, Murphy's advisers argued that {f this were trac, the nomination of a Hebrew on the Tammany tleket would only result in a heavy vote for him without lessening Justice Steckler's vote, the other candidates belng the sufferers, Whereas, If no Hebrew were Placed on the ticket, those Democrats who desired to express their approval of the record made by Justice Steck- ler during « year on the bench by cast- ing thelr votes for him, would be lost in about equal proportion by all threo nominees on the J'ammany ticket. Macphy’a Calculation, “whus, supposing 40,000 of the 75,000 Hebrew voters to be Democrats, and the Tammany majority 60,000; If the whole namber ‘voted for Justice Steck ler one-third would scratch each of the three Tammany candidates, taking away less than 10,000 from the majority of each over Hall and Keener, but Jeaving each still a margin of about 20,000 over the popular Justice Steckler. This is the mathematical argument which Jed Mr. Murphy to decide not to game any Hebrew for Justice The whole matter will be laid before the Executive Committee for action Balf an hour before the opening of the Seyacion thle keu nee this evening.
