BRoOKFIELD WOULD TAKE NO OFFICE
SAYS HE WILL. NOT BE A CANDIDATE
COMMITTEE OF FIFTY-THREE TO
MEET TONIGHT
MEET TONIGHT.

William Brookfeld will not be a candidate for
Mayor any other Office. and the meeting of the
old Committee of Fiftythree. sometimes called the
Republican tBrookfield) Organization of the City
of NewYOrk.' set for tonight. will act contrary
to his wishes if anything is done toward bringing
forward Mr.. Brookield a candidate for the
Mayoralty. Mr.. BrookfieId seen last night
by a Tribune reporter at Lakewood where he has
been for a few days. Wlen asked about the
meeting of the old Committee of Fifty-three ne
said
I know nothing about the meeting except what
nave seen IN the newspapers, and / do not believe
IL was called Tor any such purpose If while
appreciate the kindly feeling that prompted the
act. wish my friends know that they could
DO nothing more dstaStefUl 10 me than TO nominate
me Tor public office. have no ambition in that
direction. want office. would accept office
or nomination OF any tuTe whatsoever. think
the only use the old organization known the
Republican Organization of the City of Ne0-York
could be put TO would be to Republicans
and to indicate 20 them their privileges under the
Black Primary law, and get them to 60 10 the
the next city convention which will nominate
Mayor.
General Wager Swayne in speaking yesterday of
the call for the meeting tonight said;
and IL would be a gracious act the part of his
fellow citizens confer that honor upon him. He
is splendid man. and one who has always the
best interests of the city heart. I think how
ever. that the movement is largely sympathetic
one and will not amount 10 much. think the
who have called the meeting have taken an
i'll advised step if they aim to boom Mr.. BrookieId
for the Mayoralty.
