Action on the first two places on the
city ticket had been taken with 50
much real enthusiasm and been followed
with such communication that IL led the
conferred to exercise the utmost caution
IN selecting for third place the inde-
pendent Democrat who would do most
70 strengthen the situation. 1t was gem
orally agreed that never before had there
been a cooperative ticket named with
such fine feeling and that victory over

for with the proper sort OF cam
paign.

No Word From Livingston.
The big question as to what attI-
fude Jacob A. Livingston, titular leader
or Brooklyn. would take toward Curran
remained unanswered last night. Not
4 word came from him. 1t Is known,
however. that on the visit of inquiry

Coalition committee, and certain ques-
lions and answers were put in written
form. when Mr.. Livingston was asked

Coalition conference. he wrote in sub
stance; why not? He's a good Re-
publican"
The reply to tie same question about
Lockwood was That's hypothetical.
IF the Republicans OF this city want
10 play factional politics at the expense
OF the city," declared Mr.. La Guardia
in his daily Offering. they will swallow
the Coalition Fusionist recommenda-
tions If the Republicans of this city
want to win this year will lead them
to victory. as | did in 1919. /, as a good
soldier. frankly admit that Gov Miller
carried to-day--August 2-but walt and
see what happens on September l3--
primary day. l will win easily in the
primaries and at the final election"
"A better ticket could not have been
named" said Samuel s. koenig. head
of the Manhattan Republican organiza-
ton. mo fusion ticket that has ever
been chosen within my time has been
received so enthusiastically by all OF
the elements that were represented
Samuel F. Hyman. head OF the five
delegates from the Democratic confer
ence and an originator OF the independ-
ent Democrats organization. has been
one of the most ardent advocates OF
Lockwood for Mayor.
IT think II is ma gniicent" he eJacu-
lated, after the Curran and Lockwood
slate had been put through 1T is
about the strongest ticket we could have
named The great thing is that every
body connected with the movement has
shown a disposition 70 yield his per-
sonal ambitions and desires for the sake
OF getting the best candidates. l think
II is right that the Republicans should
lead and they have shown willingness
10 lead right"
Not One Dissenting Vote Cast.
There was not dissenting vote nor
r,urn1ur of discomfort when Mr.. Curran
and Mr. Lockwood were designated by
the steering COMMITTEES, which met ct
the Hotel Commodore at 10 O'Clock yes-
terday morning Charles d. Hillcs was
In the chair and had trouble at times
IN checking the enthusiasm. Miss Helen
Fartck Boswell of Manhattan presented
Mr.. Curran's name. Senator Calder,
who fought 20 hard for Lockwood up to
Monday night. was one of a dozen

Mr.. Price put the acid test on some at
the Republican Club. and the record of
others remained TO be looked into when

over until F. NJ. to-day. As stated.
Mr.. Miller seemed the best bet" IL he
could be persuaded TO consider It. but
his friends say he will not permit him
self TO get back into public life.
Judge Haskell in his statement enter
ing the primaries. slashed at the Re
publican coalition movement.
1T Is the gospel truth" said he. what
Senstor Lockwood says that no Re-
publican has the right to do anything
20 imperil the success OF the fight that
Is 10 be made against TammaEy rule"
Let those who preach practice what they
say and not try to ruin success by arbi-
trarily forcing candidates not wanted
down the throats of straight Republi-
cans. Republicans in this city will put
fusion out Of business either now or at
primaries. not to imperil victory. but in
order TO assure success on election day.
