It, Elias Dulberger. the Stitch Mccarthy
candidate for Assembly in de Ate will
not get a place on the ballot under the
Devery emblem.
Dulberger used to set up pins in McCar-
thy's bowling alleys In Forsyth street
where District Attorney Jerome OCCASION
ally takes exercise. Without consulting
Big Bill, Mccarthy had a mass meeting and
nominated Dulberger for the Assembly.
The Hon. Florrie and his candidate for
the Assembly. Bennett Seigelstein. were
among those who attended and applauded
Dulberger's speech Of acceptance. The
speech was regarded as a gem and Dull
berger was urged by his enthusiastic adj
mirers to keep on talking, even after he
had spoken for over an hour.

said Florrie as he led in the hand clapping.
Dulberger and his friends later secured
over 500 signatures to petition for an
independent nomination for the Assembly
for Dulberger under the Pump emblem.
Sigmund Schwartz, the Devery leader,
who is also president OF the Pushoart
Ped,ers' Association, convinced Devery
that Dulberger was vote getter, 70 Devery
approved Of the nomination.
The nomination papers were fled with
the Board Of Elections, but even then the
Sulivantes didn't take Dulberger's candi-
dacy seriously. Dulberger immediate "

Dressed in long black coat and high hat
and mounted on a white horse he went all
over the district. followed by cheering
crowds. These demonstrations did not

At this moment the Hon. Florrie pulled
in his head and called lssy Cohn.

A moment later cop led Dulbergers
horse around the corner and Dulberger
disappeared into the bowling alley.
Some of the Hon. Florrie's lieutenants
reported to him on Friday that a number
of voters in the district had declared their
intention of voting for Dulberger Just
for the Joke Of the thing" SO many re-
ports Of this kind were brought in that the
Hon Florrie got to thinking

Ate" that the contest for Assembly there
will be close this year, and considerable
number of votes for Dulberger might
change the result. To prevent this Cohn,
acting for the Florrie Sullivan Association,
filed a protest with the Board OF Elections
on Friday against Dulberger's nomination,
alleging that some Of the signatures to his
petition were not genuine.
Dulberger and his friends will make a
contest against any attempt to take him
of the ticket.
