No statements or interviews appeared
in mir Sheehan's behalf, although he
is here and attended a conference held
Wednesday night by Mr.. Murphy and
several others Mr.. Sheehan would say
nothing.

Mr.. Shepard fatty refused to comment
either on the mayors endorsement or
Murphy's attitude of opposition.
