Moss Sure Of Victory.

But listen to this from Mr. Moss:
.I am sure Mr.. Perkins's confidence
is misplaced and that the Republican
voters will select me by an overwhelm-
ing majority. My campaign manager
figures that at least $4,000, If not 80

Of the Tammany selection.
Aside from purely district contests
for nomination, the only opposition TO
organization designations in the Tam
many ranks is for the City Court nom
nation. Justice Lorenz Zellor, deslg-
mated 20 succeed himself by the Big
Chief" has not been at all frightened,
however, by the loud boasts of the
manager Of Joseph T. Ryan that he had
split the party in two in his effort to
win the City Court nomination.
In the Sth Municipal Court District
there has been a considerable ruction
in the Democratic ranks. John +.
Cowan. for some years anti-Tammany
was designated by the leaders for jus

by the county committee. Mr.. Moss
asserted that S s. Koenig presiden,
Of the committee, had not kept his
promise that both candidates for the
nomination should nave an equal

In q final statement Nj Perkins
suggested that although Mr. Moss
would have 20 remain as the Progress

failing TO get the Republican nomina

Political leaders expect the vote TO

up to political matters this year A
year ago, when there was a hot three
cornered fight for the Republican nom
nation for Governor, there were only
$4,000 votes cast in the Republican
primaries in this county. Political
students figure not more than $4,000
