TAMMANY IN TROUBLE
THREE TO FIGHT CURRAN
Fusionists Not Taking La
Guardia. Bennett and Haskell
Very Seriously.

Candidates for the various nomina-
tions in the primaries of September 13
for the municipal elections filed their
petitions with the Board of Elections
yesterday and last night. The petit
tions did not indicate different situa-
ton from that which for several weeks
has been generally known.
There was no petition for the in
dependent candidacy of Judge Alfred
j. Talley for denomination for the
General Sessions bench, for which
place Charles f. Murphy had refused
to redesignate him. Tammanyites
found small comfort in that, however,
for friends of Judge Talley said that
they expected him to become an inde-
pendent candidate in the general cleo
tions to defeat Judge Cornelius Col
Inns of the Children's Court, whom
Murphy designated.
Though there Will be a number of
contests for minor places on both the
Republican and the Democratic tickets,
the conspicuous contests for the city
wide places will be for the Republican
nomination for Mayor. The contest
ants will be Henry H. Curran. Presi-
dent of the Borough of Manhattan,
choice of the organization Republicans
and the coalitionists for Mayor; f. II.
La Guardia. President of the Board OF
Aldermen: former Senator William M
Bennett and Judge Reuben l.. Haskell
each running independently. Reported
negotiations among the independent
Republican candidates to join FORCES
did not bring any results.
The organization Republicans feel that
there has never been the slightest dam
ger of Mr.. Curran, along with senator
Charles c. Lockwood, their candidate
for Comptroller. and. Vincent Gilroy,
their independent Democratic candidate
for President of the Board of Alder
men, failing TO get the nomination. IN"
failure of the independents to fuse, now
ever. leaders bellows, makes any serious
opposition to the Republican coalition
ticket beyond the realm of possibility.
The popularity of the Republican
coalition ticket was indicated by the
bulkiness of the petitions which were
fiied. The number of names ran even
beyond tho expectations of the cam
paign leaders. Republican county head
quarters had expected about 5000 names
for the Curran- Lock wood Gilroy petit
tions IN Manhattan There we're 5000
signatures from the Borough of Man
haitian and the city total was approx
matelS- 1900 names. The Republican

nously signed were filed. designating
