This mean that Democratic Leader John 11.

dreams of having Surrogate Goorgo A. Win-pate, In whose office ho occupies the $9,000 chief clerkship, run uncontested next election is shattered. It also aiguilles the end of all hope for a bi-partisan support of the three Republican Supremo Court Justices: Kelby, Henedlct and Van Slelen. all of whom last -week declared that they stand for re-election this fall. "Wo will find three eminent lawyers to oppose these Republican Justices now In otllce," was all that Mc-Cooey would say when told of the Itepuhllean pronouncement.

"We are well able to take care of ourselves." "I'eclcrs" Sent Out. However, It is a fact that the Democrats did send out "feelers' last week to see If General Wlngale have the ltepubllcan barking. A counter offer of Democratic, support of one or more of the Justices was Intimated. McCooey hus held the chief clerkship of Ihe Surrogate's Court for many years. He realizes that with the election of a Republican surrogate would come a Republican chief clerk.

It Is believed that the Democratic attempt to gain Republican support for General Wingato was closely linked with McC'ooey's own position. The Republican decision means that not only will the three Supreme Court Justices be opposed by Democrats at -the polls but that County Judge Reuben L. Haskell, If he seeks re-election, will have a contest on his hands. MRS. W.

Even after the defeat of the treaty he continued his attacks.

He made a special trip to F.urope to analyze conditions there and to gather material which he might use In his flght against entangling European alliances. Politically he was an isolationist. He stood aimost alone for thrs policy of coercing Franco and other nations to pay their dents to the United States so long as these nations persist on spending vast amounts maintaining armies and navies. In one of the last speeches he made, an address before the National Republican Club, he summed up his foreign relations policy as follows: "The traditional foreign policy of (he United States Is a policy not of Isolation, but of independence; a policy of collaboration and not of alliance; It Is primnrly an American policy, not a Kuropean policy. We want to sell to Kurope.

HOFSTADTER ACTS TO BLOCK MOVE FOR A BORO UNIVERSITY (Rpcr.ial by Eagle Staff Correapundent) Albany, Feb. 25 A bill which would prevent Brooklyn from establishing an Independent university was introduced today by Assemblyman Samuel H. Hofstadter, Republican, of Manhattan.

It is the first attempt on the part ot the New York County Republicans to prevent the Brooklyn Democrats from making political capital out of the proposed Institution of learning. The bill creates a Board of Higher Education for the City of New York, with power to establish rolleglate centers In the five boros as branches of the City College. The board would consist of the trustees ot the City College and those of Hunter College. "They're playing politics with this university proposition in Brooklyn," said Assemblyman Hofstadter today. "This bill would prevent' the boro from establishing a separate university ana provides that any in slitution of higher learning must be estublished and administered in the same manner as a branch of the City College" Senator William L.

Love and As semblyman Joseph Reich have bills in now giving Brooklyn authority to establish an Independent university separate and apart from the City College. The Howstadter statement throws the whole thing into politics. The Love and Reich bills are minority measures and cannot be passed without Renubllcan votes. If Howstadter's statement means anything, It means that the Republicans are unwilling that John H. McCooey should make political capital, for use In the coming municipal campaign, out of Boro President Gulders proposed unl vcrslty.

Bchwartman waa arrested on a charge of grand larceny last night at the homo of his prospective father-in-law, John Sehoedel, a contractor, with whom he had been boarding the last two months. The young couple were to have been married Sunday.

The truck was recovered, but not the crockery. The police had been searching for Schwariman for weeks, The first clue' they got was when a young man, several weeks ago, presented a check for $200 to a Manhattan bank, bearing the signature of Block, the crockery dealer. The bank pronounced the signature a forgery. The man who presented It, when quoHtloned, said Hrhwarzman gave Itrto him In a "crap" game.

Berment, who appeared by courtesy only, us xinsel for one of the executors and trustees, provoked the greater part of this unnecessary conversation. The testimony winds on and on, with repetition after repetition. A cross-(xamlnatlon of two days of one witness, going over matters of no value to the commission, Is a fair illustration of what was done at an expense to the petitioners and to no known good to the defendants (the property owners). "The permit ting of counsel lo take all summer to prepare his brief and then giving him additional time was inexcusable. More than one-balf of the record could have been saved and as great a period of time had the chairman placed a limit on such occurrences.

Tne owners who did not deslra to sell or dispose of their properly are entitled to full value for It. The testimony of the defendants was all offered as to lot values, while the property lies In bulk. It was all prospective, none dealing with actual conditions. All alike, speculative. No effort was made to place a value In the alternative, dealing with the property In bulk.

The commissioners properly uliowed defendants to show the purpose for which the property could be used or developed. They went far Lryond this. They attempted lo apply a costly residential value to this partly submerged property, with possibilities of a more material use after being filled in. i I'lxaggcratod Aeroplane Photos. "The aeroplane photographs were nicely developed, but to the commissioners, who have viewed the premises, or to the resident judge, they plainly show how a condition may be exaggerated 'by this means of photography.

Thelr only known use In this proceeding might be for demonstration in un appellate court, to which the attorneys, have frankly avowed they intend to proceed. "Most of the property was Inundated at high tide and much of it wus used as dumping ground. It had possibilities and the commission duly considered these possibilities in making a liberal allowance to the owners. "The land could only be used for a bungalow colony, if at all, after incurring a tremendous expense In filling In. The commissioners have awarded a liberal amount to the owners for the land sought to be taken park purposes.

The awards made by the commissioners will be confirmed, No Kxtra Allowance. "The defendants seek a special allowance. As has already been stated, much of the work and expense was caused by their own method of procedure. In this proceeding the awards are most liberal in each and every instance, and the property owners can well afford to meet all their expenses from the amounts awarded by the commissioners. No extra allowance will be made to any defendant.

Taxable costs are allowed. "The commissioners' fees are discretionary as to the amounts allowed. They each ask for an allowance nt the maximum rate of $25 per day for 28 days intending hearings and for 12 days occupied In determining and making report. Ten dollars dy will be allowed to each rotnniiswloner for the actual number of days to be sworn to by hi in to hnve been occupied, not to exceed the total of 28 days for attending hearings and of 2 days for making a report.
