Having had conference with Judge
Reuben l.. Haskell in regard to a pos

the Board OF Aldermen yesterday ex-
pressed the hope that there might be
some way of getting together. Those
familiar with the situation were less
optimistic, however.
1t Is true that Judge Haskell agreed
with some of the points of the La

disagreed with parts of the document.

TAMMANY ACTIONS

Refusal to Renew Fusion Pact
With G.. O. P. in Some Dis

La Guardia Hopeful After Con-
ference With Haskell-Not
Agreed on Platform.

Socialists in this city may elect as
many as nine members of the Assembly
and the same number Of Aldermen this
year as the result Of a refusal Of Tam
many Hall to nsnew fusion agreements
that have existed for number of years
with the Republicans in strong Socialist
districts. Joint candidates also have
been supported In the past for Congress
and the Senate in districts where this
Socialists were strong.
One reason for the refusal of the DEM
ocrats to continue the arrangement is
their pique at thu bill put through by
the Republicans changing the Alder
manic lines so as to make them CO.
terminus with the Assembly districts.
Tammany wanted special favors in GER
tain districts. but did not get them
Also the Democratic organization was
paeved because the Republicans would
not indorse the Democratic City Court
Justices whose terms are expiring.
The districts in Manhattan where the
Socialists are sure to name members of
the Assembly-and members of the
Board Of Aldermen. the districts being
coterminus--are the 4th, 9th, Sth and
17th. In addition the Socialists are
pretty sure of winning in three districts
Changes Cause Confusion.
TheSnew bill changing the aldermanic
district lines to coincide with the as
sembly district lines has caused con-
siderable confusion everywhere and
much bitterness In some places. For
instance. there were parts of four old
aidernianic districts In the Twenty-first
Assembly District. Three sitting Alder
men live in the new twenty-first alder
manic district, which is the same as the
assembly district. Alderman George
w. harris, negro, of the old twenty
sixth insisted upon getting the one
nomination in the new twenty-flrst His
friends raised considerable disturbance

Two sitting Aldermen - John f. Nc

William Dalton, who got Charles r.
Murphy to say McCourt should be the

Fluid milk is highly perish

So the price of your fresh

Neither the farmer nor the
COW can help that. They can't

He added that there was still fourth
car that entered into the situation, and
that it was a secondhand Packard, q

Mayor some time in 1918. Hc said
that this is the only car that the
Mavor really owns and that it has
never had cents worth OF mainte-
ma ce from the city.
Mir. Wsllstein thereupon produced
records showing that the Harriss car
used by Commissioner Enright was
noted on the police records as "Police

entirely different automobile from No.

on the question at this mornings ses-
