"TOO MUCH RYAN"
THE AQUEDUCT COMMISSIONER HAS A
HARD FIGHT AGAINST j. FRAW-
LEY ON HIS HANDS

John J. Ryan, Aqueduct Commissioner and Tam
many leader OF the XXXIId District. has hard
fight on his han.Is at the September primaries. and
the wise ones In the district say that his opponent,
James Frawley. a contractor and nephew of
Tax Commissioner Sheehy. will probably sue
ceed him as executive member from that
district The FrawIeyites say that Ryan Is not
aggressive enough. and does not take of the
interests of the district They also alege that all
the places he does are given to his rela-
tives They assert that three of his brothers are
holding good positions. and that various cousins
ard brothers-n-aw have not been forgotten Too
much Ryan is the slogan with which the Fraw-
Ieyites ralyirg.
On the other hand. the friends of Ryan say that
Frawley and his friends are too friendly with the
gamblers who want to open houses i'm the district.
Mr. Ryan's friends assert that the report of the
Nixon Committee shows that there is gambling
in the XXXIId District. The story goes that GER
tain gamblers came to Ryan and asked permission
was refused. Then they rented quarters and
opened pOolroom Ryan's district headquar-
ters In One hundred-anG- -sixth-st. Two days later
Ryan had the place closed UP, ard it has not been
run since The people who rented the premises.
1t is said. paid four months in advance, and
they are angry over their money loss and want to
retire Ryan from the leadership for that reason.
What puzzles Ryan Is that the liquor dealers
seem to be against him. His friends assert that
anything political, and have never been compelled
TO buy tickets for chowder parties. saloon keep
ers in other parts of the city have. The Ryanites
wonder at the opposition OF the saloon men. in view
of his friendly treatment of them.
Ryans friends begin to suspect that Larry
Delmour CroSers friend. is helping F'rawley.
