There were about fifteen candidates for the to county judgeships, and at least a halt dozen for every other available place. It was stated today that Herman A. Metz was much interested in the candidacy of Andrew V.

Coraa, and that he had fathered his boom. Metz was asked about this today. All he would say was: "Corsyls a first-class man. I would be glad bo see him selected." Bernard Gallagher, after attending the W'eetlug of the B. R.

T. directors today, went in and had a talk with MeCooey. He said after this talk that the situation was ui in the air so far as he had been able to get word of the intention of the leaders. While there was an agreement upon Edward Biegelmann at 1 o'clock, it was not considered impossible that the whole slate would be overturned before night and that he might share In the overturn. Still Urging Charles H.

Fuller for Borough President. Charles H. Fuller is being urged very strongly by mm who believe that the nomination would be pleasing to Secretary William C. Redfleld and consequently to the powers around the throne at Washington. MiCoucy himself gave some color to the story that Henry A.

Meyer had a strong following by saying that he was going to have a talk with the Klat-Inish man and that l'w was being urged as a compromise candidate. According to the general made ut headquarters late this afternoon the uncertain positions are the county judgeships and the coroners, with the In the 1914 Edition of His Musical Comedy Success DTTCV ITTV With the Inimitable Comedienne DUoI ILL!

Ho was active In organizing the Progressive party In Brooklyn and ran as Progressive candidate for Congress in the Sixth District at the last election. JESSE FULLER, MAY WITHDRAW FOR DIKE Republican leaders and aome of County Judge Dike's personal friends have been at work for several days trying to persuade Jesse Fuller, to withdraw from the Bull Moose County ticket as a candidate for counly Judge to make room for Judge Dike, who was designated by the Republicans and thrown out by the Progressives in spite of the contrary ree- ommendatl( ns -of the Hapgood Committee. Such a proposition, it Is known, has been considered by Mr. Fuller, although h- refused to discuss It today.

His friends said that he would make his de cision after the Democratic County Designating Committee meets tonight. It was understood among them that If he was named on the Democratic ticket then, he would stick, and that If his name! did not go through that committee he would withdraw in favor of Dike. Some of the Republicans at first talked of a trade by which Fuller was to give way for Dik and Frank S. Senior, Republican candidate for Coroner, give way for Dr. Thurston H.

Dexter, the one Pro gressive Coroner who failed to set the Republican Indorsement. This deal was nailed by Republican Executive Chairman Jacob LivingBton. Senior comes from hie district, and "Jake" let It be known emphatically that he wouldn't stand for any such Idea. The next move of the Dike forces was to persuade Fuller to get out anyhow on the ground of personal friendship for Dike and because he (Fuller) had been an advocate of the indorsing of both Dike and Faweett by the Progressives. Fuller was on tho point of getting off the ticket when he was told by other Progressive leaderc that he stood a good chance of getting the Democratic Indorsement and persuaded by them that he had better stick if he could get this.

The plan to withdraw Fuller has not been put up to Woodruff, tho Bull Moose County leader. Ho went away last Friday night, to Knmp Kill Kara, leaving word that he would not be bach again until after Labor Day, Charles S.

Some years ago. claiming that he was a descendant of Captain Cortiaenzen, an old Dutch settler, Mr. Corsa sued for the estate of Maria Corsa, a recluse, who died in her Bronx home in 1906.

Later Ful- i SULZER NAMED IN TURMOIL. Big Effort of Day to Hold Indepen dence Hen in Fusion Line. Members of the Hapgood Committee and men In touch with the general city can't for the life of them tell today what W1I- i Ham Randolph Hearst Is going to do next! and what he will do so far as the city situation Is concerned. John Purroy Mltchel, Norman Hapgood and others spent the morning In conferences, the object of which was to whip the Independence League leaders Into line for George SIcAneny and W. A.

Prender-gast. Mltchel telegraphed to Hearst and this afternoon was awaiting a reply. The nomination of Mltchel by the Hapgood leaders was conditional upon the general belief that If Hearst were given Mltchel he would support the remainder of the ticket. Consternation hit the Hapgood people when they learned today that Hearst had come out against the ticket, The Oaynor men put It up to Mltchcel today to withdraw because of the strength the Mayor has with the Independent voters of the community. "If Gaynor can go luto tho Republlcau primaries and got more votes than 1 do, I will withdraw.

That Is tho only con dition," the Collector of the Port is said to have replied. The Hearst puzzle had everyone guess ing. The politicians cau't see what Hearst can do. He can't endorse McCall, for McCall put through the subway contract that Hearst dubbed Iniquitous, He can't support Gaynor. In view of his attitude toward the Mayor tor the last two years.

He won't support Mltchel's ticket, he says. He can't head a ticket without running against Mltchel, who is his own choice. All that he can do Is to be against every ticket In the field except Mltchel personally or to rename Mltchel at thj head of a ticket made up of Hearst men. While no definite word came from the Gaynor camp today It was stated that it is the plan of the Mayor, If he runs independently to designate the Fusion bor ough presidents as well as McAneny and Prendergast. The suggestion was thrown out, apparently to add to the general turmoil that Governor Sulzer was considering a city ticket to be devoted to the direct primary Idea and to generally opposing Tammany Hall.

There was no doubht. however, that the big feature of the day was the efforts being made to hold the Independence League leaders into line for the Fusion ticket. Hearst will be told, by telegraph, that the leaders of the Hapgood movement had been Informed their action would meet with his approval and that his support had practically been promised them by Hearst leaders on the ground. What the reply of the newspaper proprietor will be, no one seems to care to try to guess. It Is felt, though, that Hearst has taken a step which is a mighty bad thing for Fusion.

HEARST'S ATTACK. Although the statement of William Randolph Hearst on the political situation, embodied In a telegram sent yesterday to the Independence party leaders, attracted a good deal of attention from the Democratic candidates and leaders today, none of them would discuss it for publication. Hearst, who is in Californlna, came out strongly against William A. Prendergast and George McAneny, the Fusion nominees for Controller and President of the Board of Aldermen, and practically declared that he would repudiate the party's action if it supported them. "Tell the Independence party leaders," he wired to William J.

Taylor, chairman of the Independence League City Committee, "that I cannot presume to dictate the party policy, but personally I cannot support proven political traitors. "I consider McAneny and Prendergast fully as falsa aa Gaynor, only less clever and room cowardly, "I could not support Gaynor and I cannot support McAneny or PrendergaBt for the simple reason that they secured their election by promises to protect the people In the possession of their publlo property and then all three of them abandoned their Boleuin pledges and surrendered themselves and the publlo interests to the prlvllege-eeeking and franchise-stealing corporations, "If the Independence party becomes an accomplice In this treachery and rascality," he continued, "merely for the bribe of a few offices) if It abandons Its principles of publla ownership and In dorses publlo plunderers merely lor a share of the plunder, It becomes no Det-ter than the Progressive party, which operates as the political branch Morgan on a percentage basis, is need fop an. honest, eineere, radioal party in New Yor and throughout this nation, intend to support one wherever I find one and tq create one wherever there is none," DOG MAY ENTER YELLOWSTONE President Wilson Breaks Rule ot In- terio?

August 25 For any member of the negro race who desires a "fine new seven-room house, with all improvements and beautifully decorated," and is willing to pay a bargain-counter price, now is the time to Invest. A placard bearing the legend, "For Sale, to Colored People Only," adorns the front of the home of Arthur Johnson, Jesse street, Stromberg Park.

First, the Board of Health refused to act, and then Krey said that the house was there when he bought the property; that It was there when Johnson built his house, and that he proposed to leave It there.

AGED FATHER SERVED PAPERS Defendant, About Whom Not Much Is Known, Admits Ability to Pay. In a manner calculated to eseape public attention, a motion was quietly made to Supreme Court Justloe Crane today for the confirmation of a report of Joseph V. Gallagher, as referee, recommending a decree of absolute divorce to Mrs. Matilda V. Crowe, of 541 West 113th street, Manhattan, from Eugene F.

Crowe, whose business address is given as the Aeolian Building, Manhattan. The motion was made by William J. Mahon, of 44 Court street, for Mrs. Crowe, and th'o proposed decree provides for the annual payment of (3,000 to Mrs. Crowe as alimony.

It was admitted before the referee that Crowe could afford the payment, so who he Is or his business was carefully concealed. Justice Crane took the papers, which the parties ask to be sealed. The couple were married on January 24, 1897. in Hoboken, N. and have no children.

Mrs. Crowe charges her husband with the statutory offense on December 3, 1909, at 328 West Fifty-seventh street, Manhattan, with a "woman unknown to the plaintiff." Dr. Fred Quidort, of 312 Twelfth street, Manhattan, father of the plaintiff, served the papers on his son-in-luw. Dr. Quidort is 70 years of age.

The testimony in the case was taken before Referee Gallagher, and Crowe wan represented by Lawyer George S. Ludlow, of 2 Rector street, Manhattan. Edgar P. Lawson, of 355 West Eighty-fifth ntreet, a business friend of Crowe'B, gave testimony that he had visited the West Fifty-seventh street apartment on the night In question and had seen Crowe there with the co-respondent. He was sure she wasn't Mrs.

Crowe. Who Crowe Is or what his business is was kept out of the record by a stipulation that "the defendant's Income 13 sufficient to pay the sum of $3,000 a year" is a decree is awarded the wife. GETTING A JANITOR. Eev. Wm.

In response to bis offer to give $50 a month to a man who would act as Janitor of the parochial school of the Church of the Assumption, on Cranberry street, the rector, the Rev. Dr. William J. Donaldson, was kept busy this morning Interviewing applicants for the Job.

Yesterday morning the rector delivered a sermon on laziness, and, in emphasiz-4 ing the point that there were many men who could get work but would not do so, the priest offered a job at $50 a month to anyone who would be willing to take the Janltorshlp of the school attached to the church. None appeared yesterday, but this morning word had been passed, down the line and there were any number ot men on hand to take the position offered. One man waa chosen, and the others went away, more or less disappointed. WILL EXAMINE MRS. BLACK.

Supreme Court Justice Crane today de- clued to grant a motion for a commission to take teatimony in Paris as to the present mental condition of Mrs. Eliza B. Black, who is confined in a sanitarium near the French capital. Mrs. Black is a wealthy Brooklyn woman, who owns i about $250,000 In real estate here and nearly $100,000 In personal securities.

She has been abroad about a year and, it is said, was taken ill last spring. The motion came up before Justice Crane folowing the appointment of a commission and a Sheriff's jury to take testimony In Kings County as to tho condttlop of Mrs. Black. There was some opposition to the appointment of a French commission, today, by attorneys representing the adopted daughter, MiBs Mary Louise Black, who Is with the alleged Incompetent, on the ground that the proceeding should bo brought in New York County, but Justice Crane decided that the commission should be named, and he directed the entry of such an order.

Two daring Jobs were turned off today by an 18-year-old youth, so the police eay, who has only been out of the New York Reformatory since April 18, last, on parole. The first, that of snatching a traytul ot Jewelry, waa successful, and the, other, tapping a till, resulted In his arrest. The youth is now locked up, without ball, on charges ot burglary, assault and attempted robbery. He said he was George Kappelmeier, 18 years old, of 300 Alabama avenue, but aside from that had nothing to say about himself. At 11:30 o'clock this morning, according to the police, Kappelmeier sauntered into the Jewelry store of Mrs.

Esther Spe-ter, at 1615 Fulton street, and, while her buck was turned, snatched a tray containing Jewelry valued at about $30. There was a bell on the, door, but It was out of order, and so he made a quick getaway," without being detected. Shortly afterward he went into the candy and cigar store of Henry Mason, at 1517 Fulton street, and uttumpted to rob the till. On July 4 last. Mason was robbed of (50, and since then ho has bad a buzzer connected with his till.

While be was in the back room the buzzer went off, and rushing out Into tbe store Masoj beheld Kappelmeier scooping up the coins. He got between the youth and thi door and yelled loudly for help, and when Kappelmeier attempted to dash to the street a lively fight ensued. The youth put up a stiff argument, and bowling Mason over darted through the door. He ran up Fulton Btreet to Throop avenue, with a big crowd In his waKe: turnued into Kingston avenue and headed for Herkimer street. Policeman Leonard Kcssingcr of the Gates avenue station attracted by the cries of "Stop thief!" Joined in the chase.

He yelled to the fleeing youth to stop, and when Kappel- mener kept on the policeman drew his volvcr and fired a shot in the air. as nn ran, Kappelmelrer took Jewelry, later identified by Mrs. Soeter as that stolen from her store, from his pocket, and threw it into the street.
