Ex-Mayor Grace's organization furnished the
political surprise of yesterday by endorsing the
nomination Of Col William l.. Strong for Mayor
Aqueduct Commissioner Scott had declared to
the Committee of Seventy last Friday night that
the organization would not support Republican
for Mayor Not only did the County Convention,
which was reconvened in Cooper Union last
night, endorse the nomination Of Mr. Strong,
but IL took the whole slate prepared by the
Seventy for municipal ticket and adopted 1t
with only two notifications.
Otto Kempner for Sheriff was turned down,
and a Democrat was substituted for Dr.
O'ATeagher, the Republican whom the Seventy
wished to make Coroner. Kempner was set
aside because OF his record as a turncoat. DIR.
o'Meagher was set aside because IL was held
that the Republicans had enough in the head OF
the ticket and were hoggish to ask for more.
Mr.. Graces slate was not put through without
O great deal Of hard work. some hard word r.
and much friction which threatens the disrup-
ton of his organization. All was not smooth
sailing even in his conference committee. That
body remained In earnest discussion Of the ex-
Mayors plan from $50 o'clock last evening
until 9:15 before they filed In with their report
The 100 delegates to the Convention who
packed theibig hall waited good They
whistled and sang and INDUCED In chatting and
cheers for local leaders A call for cheers for
Senator Hill was received with storm Of cheers
mingled with few Kisses.
That's all right. You geese Will all vote for
him, Just the samel" shouted n Hill man, and
the convention Gheered the sentiment
