CITY PRIMARIES
Four Republicans Seek NOmina-
tiOn for Mayor
EASY SAILING FOR HYLAN
Present Democratic Chief Magi
trate Has No Opposition
on Tammany Ticket

New York. Sept u, (Associated
Press) A four cornered fight for the
Republican nomination for mayor
over shadows all other features Of the
primaries tomorrow Mayor John f
Hylan is unopposed on the Tammany
Hall ticket but there are a number OF
contests for minor Offices.
Nearly 1,175,OO0 enrolled Republican
and Democratic men and women will
be entitled to vote, the Republican
registration being 643,63O and the
Democratic 43l,167
The Republican nominees are:
Major Henry H. Curran, war veter-
an. lawyer former newspaper report
er, Yale graduate ana now President
Of the Borough of Manhattan.
Major +. II. La Guardia, OF Man
haitian. former Congressman, Presi-
dent Of the Board Of Alderman and an
airman during the war
Judge Reuben l.. Haskell. Of Brook
lyn. prominent in politics in that
borough. who was elected county
Judge last year on a wet platform.
Former State Senator William NJ.
Bennett of Brooklyn, figure in
borough and state politics, who un'
expectedly wrested the Republican
nominal on for mayor from the late
Mayor John Purroy Mitchell four years
ago.
Major Curran is the nominee OF the
Coalition Republican forces and has
the endorsement of the regular Repub-
lican machine. Major La Guardia is
at present outside the pale of the regu'
lars. Judge Haskell, also an outsider,
has made an issue OF the prohibition
question. AIr Bennett is opposed To
old line Republican fusing with Coal
lltionIsts.
As all four nominees have good
vote getters in previous elect ons,
political students predict close con
test. Brooklyn. with the largest reg
istration OF any OF the five boroughs
and with two candidates in the field,
is regarded as the pivot Of the stua-
ton
Considerable bitterness has develop
ed during the campaign but the Repub
lican managers profess to believe that
after The primaries all the candidates
will forget Their differences and con
centrate their energies in an attempt
to roll the Tammany tiger on its back.
While Tammany has re-designated
Mayor Hyland for another four year
term all has not been harmonious in
the wigwam and leader Charles F.
Murphy has number Of insurgent
fights on his hands.
The most important of these Is the
contest of James j Hines for the
nomination Of President of the Bor-
ouch of Manhattan against the regular
Tammany candidate, julius Miller
Hines has conducted a house to house
in Murphy's own district and
has enlisted the services of flying
squads of women voters. He planned
political funeral procession for
Murphy September 3, but ca led it off
at the last moment
The Socialists and Prohibition par
ties. who will have tickets in the cleo
ton, November s, have no contests in
the primaries Jacob Panken, a JUS
tice OF the municipal court is the
Socialist nominee for mayor. The
Prohibitions have designated George
