Knott New in Politics.
So far as Is known Mr.. Knott, who
has large interests In number Of apart
ment hotels in New York and Atlantic
City. never before has been active in
politics. The other nominations were all
cut and dried and were not unexpected
One thing that created much comment
among politicians yesterday was the fail
ure of Tammany to put any Jewish
leader on its ticket this year--that is.
for one Of the major Offices. So far as
\can be recalled this is the first time
Tammany ever has neglected to recos-
nize the Jewish vote in parcelling out
the big nominations.
The nominations OF Mr.. DoneEan and
Mr.. Meyer were recognized as further
evidence that Mr.. Hearst played a DON'T
mating part in the selection of Tam
many's candidates this year. He is given
credit with having much to do with the
nomination Of Judge Hylan. The Tam
many leaders were exceedingly anxious
to secure the support of the Hearst
newspapers and bankroll and the pub
Usher had things much his own way.
O'Dwyer Makes His Peace.
Tho denomination of Chief Justco

pected by many Of the leaders. 1t wa

throwing out of the club of Murphy,
Foley and several other big Tammany
failed to pay their dues. Mr.. O'Dwycr
was unsparing in his attack on Mr..
Murphy and insisted that Murphy mus;
TO-" He eventually Gained down and
perhaps 1t was his change of tempera-
ment that permitted his denomination.
The designation of County Clerk
Schneider is reward for his work in
mittee Of 10, through which Tammany
, nominated its city ticket Mr.. Schneider
was elected four years ago as Fusion
list and up to a short time before he
organized the Democratic Fusion Com
mittee he was a bitter enemy of Tam
many Hall and Mr.. Murphy. But Ike
Judge ODwyer. he apparently eN-
perienced a change Of heart.

O'Loughlin tried to throw "A monkey
