bench by pluralities ranging from TO-
900 TO SO. 900. Thier opponents were Will
liam A. keener Alfred Strekler and
Earnest Hall. who were appointed to
the supreme court by Governor Odeil
to fill vacancies. Keener and Strekler
were nominated by both the republicans
and the Greater New York democracy
and Hall by the republicans. The

feeling from last year when Mayor
Low carried New York county by about
5000.

state. I am convinced that there has
been a little Of thai peculiar heather
Chinee' business going on" That is
all Mr.. Coler would say.
