FOUR cORNERED
FIGHT FEATURES
n. Y. PRIMARIES

New York, Sept. IA four-cor-
EHered light for the Republican nomi-
nation for mayor oyershadows all
other features Of the primaries Tues
day. Mayor John r. Hylan Is unop--
posed on the Tammany Hall ticket
nut there ares number Of contests for
minor ofices.
Nearly 1,175. 900 enroled Republi-
can ana Democratic men and women
will be entitled to vote, the Republi-
can registration being 643. $50 and the
Detnocratic 531.1s7.
The Republican nominees are:
Major Henry n. Curran, war vet
eran, lawyer. former newspaper re-
porter, Yale graduate and now presi-
dent OF the borough OF Manhattan.
Major f. H. La Guardia of Man
haitian. Former congressman, presi-
dent Of the board OF aldermen and an
atrman during the war.
Judge Reuben ]. Haskell OF
BROOKLYN, prominent in politics in
that borough, who was elected q

Former State Senator William M.
Bennett Of Brooklyn. q figure in Dor
ough and state politics, who unex-
pectedly wrested the Republican nomi-
nation for mayo from the late Mayor
John Purroy Mitchell four years ago.
Currnn Endorsed.
Major. Curran is the nominee Of
the Coalition Republican forces and
has the endorsement OF the regular
Republican machine. Major La
Guardia is at present outside the pale
OF the regulars. Judge Haskell. also
an outsider, has made an issue OF the
prohibition question. Mr.. Bennett is
opposed to old line Republicans fusing
WITH CoAlitionists.
As all four nominees have been
good vote getters In previous cleo
tons, political students predict a close
contest. Brooklyn. with the largest
registration OF any Of the five Dor
le1d, is regarded as the pivot OF the
situation.
Considerable bitterness has de-
veloped during the campaign but the
Republican managers profess to be-
lieve that after the primaries all the
candidates will forget their differences
and concentrate their energies in an
attempt to roll the Tammany tiger on
its back.

CONFERENCE AIMS At UNDER.
STANDING, COOLIDGE TELLS
PEOPLE OF PHILADELPHIA.
AMERICA IS UNSELF|sH
"AlMs OF CONFERENCE NOT NEW,
THE IDEA ANTEpATEs MOD.
ERN CIVILIZATIONS"
twest.rn Newspaper Union yeu. seviee.)


Philadelphia. - The altruism Of
America that moved 1t to call the on
ference to limit armament and the alb
solute need for economy on the part Of
the nations will work for the success
of the Washington conference, Vice
President Calvin Coolidge told the
members OF the Philadelphia forum.
THE great purpose Of the present
conference Is not to establish force
which no nation will dare to disobey,"
Mr.. Coolidge declared, but to estab-
lish an understanding In which all na-
tions will desire to concur. There lies
the practical prospect of immediate
benefit and the great expectation Of
world salvation. The only price exact
ed is II trifling diminutlon OF theOret-
ical national security. But even the
lessened power OF defense will be bal
anced by the lessened power of at
tack"
THE aims of the conference are not
new," Mr.. Coolidge pointed out, "the
idea antedates modern civilization"
Previous plans, however," he said,
have for the most part, turned upon
political and military alliances which
undertook by combination to Increase
the military power, rather than by
agreement and Independence to de-
crease It,"
The futility Of the past agreements
will lay the foundation for the success
Of the present conference, Mr.. Cool
idge asserted, for they have demon
strated the absolute necessity for some
understanding regarding the causes Of
war. He said he felt certain the con-
ference would achieve the high pur-
poses for which II was created.
America" the vice president said,
"is proposing this conference with the
most unselfish Of emotions. We have
emerged from the great war less I'm
paired than any other nation. We
have suffered as yet very little from
any internal economic reaction.
I'VE can meet the test of c0mpeti.
tive armament with less strain than
would be felt elsewhere There Is
small doubt that we might prosper on
| the distress Of others.
america has always been an apOs
tie of peace and unselfishness. II
proposes to hold to tlMt course now
1t seeks for better understanding
among nations, not merely for its own
advantage, but from great desire to
serve. The mighty power that has
come, the great advantage that Ii
ours, will be unworthily held unless
1t be used for the cause of humanity
There will be no diminutlon Of ma
tionality, no Limitation Of independ
ence, imposed upon ourselves or upon
others. The nations will emerge from
the conference clothed with sove
relgnty unlmpaIred and with freedom
undlminlshed, but IL the hope Of oul
people Is realized they will emerge
with new determination to rely fol
their security not upon the individual
power Of force. but upon the universal
power Of Righteousness"
