Irwin Untermyer, son of Samuel Untermyer, is being mentioned for appointment by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt for the Supreme Court bench to the vacancy caused by the resignation of Justice Thomas C. T. Crain.
The Governor, it was learned from authoritative sources, is willing to appoint Mr. Untermyer, who is supported by Mayor Walker. It is stated, however that it is intended by Tammany Hall that Mr. Untermyer be given the nomination for Justice Francis B. Delehanty’s place which expires December 31.
