at Grand Central

A man believed to be A. R. Bondy. of
2403 Crescent Avenue, the Bronx
killed himself yesterday afternoon by
taking poison in the smoking room at
the Grand Central Terminal.
The room was filled with men and
many of them saw him take small
bottle from his pocket and drop two
tablets into travellers cup, which he
filled with water, and drained it, A mo-
ment later he fell to the floor and
those who hastened to aid him saw that
the phial he had dropped was labelled
cyanide of potassium. Before an am.
bulance surgeon arrived the man was
dead.
His body was identified by docum ents
found in a pocket, including a bank

Republican Chiefs
Pick Lockwood as
Winner for Mayor
Legislative Record and Ac-
iiviiy i'm Housing Probe
Held to Make Him Strong
est Man to- Head Ticket

Republican leaders met at the Ma
tional Republican Club yesterday for
an informal discussion as to the merits
of Mayoralty candidates and selected
State Senator Charles G. Lockwood as
the strongest candidate who could be
chosen.
They decided upon him Cor various
reasons. One Of the strongest was
the favorable prominence he has had
lately as chairman of the legislative
committee which has done much to
break up combinations restrictive Of
building. 1t was pointed out also that
his record in the Legislature was one
to win votes and that his plurality in
his district last fall equalled that
which Governor Smith received there.
Moreover, Senator Lockwood was
described as the only man in sight
whose nomination might worry Tam
many Hall. Many of those at the con-
ference asserted that if Senator Lock
wood should be nominated Charles E.
Murphy would be compelled TO with
draw his threat of renominating Mayor
Hylan and probably would seek to per
suade Al Smith to accept the Demo
cratic nomination.
1t was said ti..4t even in the strong
hold of the Tammany organization
there were many men of solid business
reputation who would refuse to sun
port or vote for Hylan, even if
Murphy carried out his threat of max
ing ham the Tammany candidate.
Such men, it was said, would become
adherents of the Lockwood cause at
once II the issue was between Lock
wood and Hylan, and serious break
in the Tammany ranks would result.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
Lockwood committee, 1t was pointed
out, had suggested Lockwood as the
proper Republican candidate for Mayor
and had promised to take the stump
for him if he received the nomination.
Another point which the Republican
leaders regarded as a strong recon-
mendation for Mr.. Lockwood was that
ne was said to have the support of the
Calder men in the party, and Senator
Calder was said to oe stronger as a
leader of the party in Brooklyn than
Jacob A. Livingston, although Mr.. Liv-
ingston had formed an alliance with
the leaders of Queens and Richmond
counties.
Senator Calder, it was said, had oh
tanned his power by reason of the
Federal jobs he was able to distribute
as the result of having a Republican
administration in Brooklyn. He had
handed out the jobs in such O wav
as to insure his political position. it
was said.
