Kings Leaders Swinging TO Mitchell
DEVELOPMENTS yesterday in The
Nitchel-Beunett situation in Brooklyn
which is the crucial point in the cam
uaiCu, strongly indicated that th'
Kings County Republicans were swing
ing TO Mitchell. Some Of the leaders
who favor the Mayor as against Mr.
Bennett declared that the Kings
County Republican organization was
likely 70 indorsc Mayor Mitchell, or a.
least beat a Bennett resolution, at the
meeting Of the County Committee nex'
Tuesday.
Jacob A. Livingston, Kings County
Republican leader, who came out FOL
Bennett recently and announced that
the county headquarters would be usec
for the Bennett campaign, modified hi'
statement yesterday by explaining that
the county headquarters would mot be
the personal headquarters Of any can
didate.'
The word was passed in Brooklyn
Republican circles that State Controller
Travis. County Chairman Nass anc
United States Senator Calder were Sc
riousiy considering the issuing OF
statements urging the support Of

that Governor Whitman might DO the

borough President Pounds, who are
BENEFITS running mates on the Repub
Ecan ticket. They forced Livingston
10 modify his announcement about

The Brooklyn leaders are incensed a
the action Of Livingston IN practically
reading out of the party George B
SereDbetz. a prominent BushwIck Re
publican. because he had allied himself
with the Fusion cause. The two mer
had controversy IN Livingston's Of
fee recently, when Serenbetz an
nounced that he would support Mayor
Mitchell.
II told Mr.. Livingston" said Mr.. Ser,
cnbetz. that this was not matter OF
party regularity, as he held, but that
IL was a simple question as TO whether
the Republican party was going TO helF
Tammany Hall TO come back 20 power
IN the city government. The question
Of mans party regularity IS expressed
ly his enrolment and is not governed
by action in municipal campaigns which
are specially separated from state ana
rational campaigns, IN order TO take
fccal elections out of partisan pOlltlcs
