CURRAN ARRAIGNS
POLICIES OF HYLAN
Tells Greenpoint He Would
Not Build Subway Even
If He Had the Money.

The present city administration
under Mayor HyIan has neither the abil-
ity nor the power to keep from quar-
relling long enough to work out a policy
on things which need to be DONE" This
out from the shoulder declaration of
Borough President Henry II. Curran.
the Republican-Co Coalition designee for
Mayor. on the inefflciency Of the present
Hearst-Tammany occupant Of the City
Hall, caught his audiences in Brooklyn
last night. He spoke before the Brook
lyn League Of Women Voters OF .he
Tenth Assembly District. at Public
School No. 4. Berkeley place, near Fifth
avenue, and Alpha Republican Club OF
the Fifteenth Assembly District. l3S
Nassau avenue, Greenpoint.
The speaker added: you know the
kind of warfare that has gone on in the
Board OF Estimate every Friday. 1t Is
the kind that has made the Saturday
morning newspapers better reading than
Life or Judge and this with the city
government costing million dollars
day"
Referring to the needs of the Green
point section for a subway. Mr.. Curran
declared there would be no more new
lines SO long as the present administra-
tion was in power.
IF this administration Is reelected,
he said. ut would not have the capacity
to get great project like this crosstown
subway from Queens to Coney Island
started. If the money were put In their
hands you would not see a shovelful OF
dirt handled"
Rivals Also in Brooklyn.
Judge Reuben L. Haskell. William NJ.
Bennett and Il. H. La Guardia, President
OF the Board of Aldermen. the three
other candidates for the Republican
Mayoralty nomination, also continued to
make Brooklyn their battle ground last
night.
Referring to the attack of Mr.. Curran
the night before, directed against the do
nothing policy of Mayor Hylan in con-
nection with the public schools. Mr.. La
Guardia said:
''The public is Interested not In what
the Hyland administration failed to do.
but rather in what each individual MEM
Der Of the Board of Estimate did do to
better school facilities in the city. "A
seat for every child has been catch
slogan for the politicians long enough.
What parents want Ia the best possible
education for every child.
front. and / am going to wipe 1t out In
municipal departments. ! shall select
School Commissioners capable OF or
ganizing and managing the citys most
important activity. / shall have the
law changed so we may run the schools
in the most economical way. ! promise
you the dirt will fly when l get on the
job"
In four speeches Judge Haskell de-
voted more time to the constructive
work of a Mayor and less to the pro-
hibition issue than usual.
mo better investment can be made
by a nation than to give it's children
proper education" he said. Il shall see
70 1t that every child shall have 1uii
time instruction. including the best
mental and physical training available.
The Board of Education must be en-
tirely divorced from politics.
VIII Look Into institutions.
'Tt is my opinion that great improve
nent may be made in the great charity
institutions and hospitals of our city
said Judge Haskell, and commencing
January my Immediate attention @itl
be given to this problem not only for the
better physical and mental welfare OF
the unfortunate ones OF our community
useful service"
Judge Haskell made this prophecy:
II have no hesitancy In expressing my
judgment that on this indirect prohibit
tion referendum This candidacy, which
is to be held on primary day. my nomi-
nation will be had by more votes than
the other three candidates put together,
and that on the other indirect referen-
DUN to be held in the general election
the people OF the city, irrespective OF
political affiliations, will register pro-
test in such an overwhelming majority
for my candidacy that every United
States Senator. member of Congress and
member OF State Legislature who
voted for prohibition will be ashamed
OF himself"
Speaking at the Kings County Re-
publican Club in the Fifth Assembly
District, Mr.. Bennett said
.'It Is an especial pleasure to speak
in the club house which Is the political
home OF Senator Charles c. Lockwood.
He was my colleague in the Senate and
was a straight Republican In the 1917
campaign. He did not bolt the prirn-
ary, but had Bennett banner in front
of his club house and kept 1t there
during the campaign. despite tho de-
nunciation Of fusion leaders. The people
who will support me are distrustful Of
fusion this year. realizing that II ~
composed OF the same people who con-
nived at the stolen primaries In 1917.'
