BENNETT is POOR FOURTH

Borough President Henry II. Cur
ran OF Manhattan Is the Republican
and anti-Tammany candidate for
Mayor. He won an impressive
victory in the primaries yesterday.
Judge Reuben L. Haskell. running
on wet" platform, who had figured
as dangerous contender, fizzIed
dismally. He was defeated BY Cur
ran by more than two to one and was
outpointed by f. II. La Guardia,
President of the Board OF Aldermen,
in all boroughs except Kings and
Queens.
The last drive made against Has
kell by the Republican organization,
aided by jealous work of women all
over the city. was responsible for his
defeat. The fact that Haskell. as
Mayor, could not do anything to re-
lieve dry conditions was driven home
with telling effect. No impression
was made on the La Guardia vote.
William NJ. Bennett. the fourth con-
tender for the Republican Mayoralty
nomination. was poor tailender.
John J. Halligan. the wet" can
didate for President Of the Board or
Aldermen. was defeated by Vincent
Gilroy, the Republican Coalition can
d.datc. by between four and Ave TO
one. The cries against fusion and
for a straight" ticket seem to have
met with little response.
Great Sweep for Lockwood.
Senator Charles c. Lockwood, who
had only slight opposition from
Morris Schector, the Haskell candi-
date, won overwhelmingly the Re-
publican nomination for Comptroller.
James J. Hines. the Democratic
leader OF the Eleventh Assembly
District. whose fight frankly was to
undermine the leadership OF Charles
F. Murphy. the Tammany boss
failed to win the nomination for
President OF the Borough of Man
haitian from julius Miller. Murphy 5
phone booth selection. 1t was
desperate fight. however. and
although Miller won by two to one
after Murphy had sent personal and
urgent orders to slaughter Hines
the latter's vote was taken as blow
to the Murphy reign.
At the Hines headquarters, tho
Monongahela Club. at midnight the
members were claiming that their idol
had won. They said the figures werc
being held back by Tammany.
Mr.. Curran's total vote viii be n
little over 10000 out OF total vote of
about $50, 900. or about 46 per cent.
The entire vote cast was about 25 per
cent. oc the Republican enrolment OF
643,630.
With about half OF the vote counted
there was an estimated plurality for
OF $1,000. His indicated plurality over
La Guardia was $1,000.
La Guardfa Ahead of Haskell.
In Manhattan Curran defeated Has
kell BY 80. 900 and La Guarlia by about
23,so0 In Brooklyn Curran's indi-
Gated plurality over his wet oppo-
nent was about $4,000, over La Guardia
$4,000.
The wet" candidate had been picked
to win in Queens. but indications with
incomplete returns were that Curran
would have $500 more than Haskell
and about 1000 more than la Guardis.
La Guardia's friends had claimed
victory in The Bronx. but Curran's in
dicated plurality over him there Is
about $4,000 and over Haskell 10000.
Haskell also fell behind badly in
Richmond. Curran's indicated plural
ity over him there Is $500 and 1000
over La Guardia.
Halligan's poor showing was as sur
prising almost as that OF Haskclls. be-
cs"se OF the loud cries that the oppo-
nents OF fus'on had made against the
selection Of Mr.. Gilroy. a Democrat. as
the candidate for President OF the
Board Of Aldermen. He was literally
swamped by Gilroy, and l.. Barton
Case. the Bennett candidate for this
nomination. did almost as we'll as Hal
ligan in some OF the boroughs.
It was felt by some politicians that
this vote might more fairly be taken
as an indics tion OF the sentiment In tho
Republican party on prohibition as Case.
