CAPTAIN Goddard with view to putting an end
to the controversy issued the following statement
IN reply last night:

can know that the Citizens Union in the Sa1 XNth
Assembly District cast only 1853 votes. MI Nadal m

that elected him.
What Mr. Nadal SAYS 10 the effect that Bernard
Fftzpatrck's defeat for Assembly was due TO the
Citizens Union is also rubbish. as Fitzpatrick vas
defeated by more than 169 votes.
Next and last comes the terrible arraignment OF
CAPTAIN Goddard. all based Mr.. Nadafs state
ment that Mr.. Low got It's votes in the NNth
Assembly District. and thus l,40J votes behind
Mr Whitaker and eco votes behind the other fusion
candidates, and Mr.. Nadal asks me TO stand up
a about II. So of course find II nee es-
sary to stand up ani state that as usual. MI
NadaI does not know hat he is talking about, as
Mr. Low actually got looo more IN the district
than Mr. Nadal says he did.
