MAY UNITE UPON JUDGES


JACOB A. Livingston, chairman of
the Republican Executive Committee
in Kings county, who had been sulkins
throughout the entire slate making
process, yesterday gave his word that
he would see to it that the Curran-
Lockwood Gilroy Republican Coalition
city ticket was indorsed at a meeting
OF his committee at noon tomorrow.
1t is understood that his pledge in
cluded his personal support. although,
as the presiding officer. he would not
necessarily have to have vote re-
corded.
This promise was given to Borough
President Henry Fl. Curran, who as
the designee for the Mayoralty nomi
nation, is to carry the standard OF
the organization in the campaign; to
Charles ID. Hilles, member of the Re-
publican National Committee and Man
mittee, and to George A. Glynn, chair
man of the State Committee. These
men. with several other leaders, were
in conference at the National Repub-
lican Club late yesterday afternoon
going over the opportunity for Repub-
lican victory in the city this autumn
1t was agreed that the situation In
Brooklyn was the most menacing, that
the attitude taken by Mr.. Livingston,
the titular leader, was most unfor-
tunate and provocative Of trouble in
the primaries and later. The Queens
County Executive Committee had rati-
fled the city ticket on Wednesday
night and the New York County Com
mittee was doing the same thing at
the time.
Kings Meets Tc-mOrrow.
SO Mr.. Livingston was reached on the
telephone and asked what he purposed
doing. After considerable conversation
the Kings county chairman said he
would call his committee for tomorrow
and see that the leaders went on record
as being behind the anti-Tammany city
ticket
1T Is understood that the wishes OF
Mr. Livingston will be considered in
making up the local borough and county
enough votes to ride roughshod over him
" it should ever decide to use its power.
The resolution adopted by the New
York County Committee read:
"Resolued, That the Executive Com
mittee of the Republican County Com
mittee of the County of New York does
hereby ratify, confirm and approve of
the recommendation and designation of
Major Henry II. Curran as nominee for
Mayor, Of Senator Charles c. Lockwood
as nominee for Comptroller and of the
Hon. Vincent Gilroy as nominee for
President Of the Board OF Aldermen by
the conference composed of delegates
from organized bodies opposed to Tam
many Hall.
And we accordingly recommend their
nomination to the enrolled Republican
voters of New York county at the pri-
mary election to be held on September
13, 1921"
Tammany having passed the buck by
postponing final action on its ticket un-
I'll Monday. the Republican Executive
Committee led by Samuel $. Koenig.
put off framing its permanent slate, set
for yesterday, until Tuesday at 10
o'clock. There was no discussion OF
Borough President or District Attor-
ney. the two most important nomina-
tions. For the Borough Presidency the
situation Is that President Curran
would like to see named Clarence H.
Fay who is now his Commissioner OF
Public Works. Mr.. Fay, who is con-
ceded to be well qualified by expert
ence. is taking the position that he
ought to forget any personal advance
ment in the interest of Republican sue
cess: that he ought to take off his Goa [
and work for the election of Curran
rather than OF himself to the Borough
Presidency. There Is talk Of Ernest r.
Ellert, on the ground that the situation
requires q business man. Others have
suggested Michael F'riedsam.
schneidcr's Fate in Doubt.
For half an hour the committee dis
cussed whether II would be good
der for his present post as County
Clerk. He is an independent Democrat
and four years ago was on the firing
line with Charles r. Murphy and Tam
many Hall to defeat John Purroy
Mitchell. His reward then was a Tam
many nomination for County Clerk but
they will have none OF him this year,

majority sentiment seemed in favor OF
naming a straight Republican. Herman

for the place.

Neither was there any talk Of the
three Judges of General Sessions and
two City Court Judges to be named
Charles +. Murphy has been appi oached
with the suggestion that there be some
sort Of nm agreement for Endorsement Of
sitting Judges for denomination. The
General Sessions Judges are Joseph r.
