6 CANDIDATES
for NY. Mayor

NEW YORK - When Father
Knickorbockcr goes to the polls at
the city election November S, he Will
have AN opportunity 20 vote for at
least six candidates for mayor,
though ono uf them is in prison.
The candidates are:
Democratic--Ma Mayor John f. Hy-
Ian.
Rcpublican--Coalition. Henry H..
Currau.
Socialist Jacob Paukcn.
Prohibition --George X. Kinds.
Farmer r-Tahor-Jcrume de Hunt.
Workers League Communist --
Benjamin Gitlow.
Gitlow. y former assomhlyman,
convicted OF criminal anarchy, is
serving "a term at Sing Sing prison.
Preliminary skirmishcs Indicate
that th" main battle will ho between
Mayor Hyllu. candidate for re-
election, and Henry n. Currau, pres
ident Of the Borough of Manhattan,
who won the spirited four-cornered
primary race for the nomination by
plurality Of more than 10000
votes
Mayor Hyau seeks reelection on
the grounds that he has made "uOd
I'm his four years term as chief
executive. that he has been tho
friend Of tho people; has fought
big iutercsts' and kept the traction
fare down 20 five cents
MIR. Curran, who has been in city
office for ten years, has not set de-
ciled upon his platform IN detail,
bat has indicated that he would fol-
low the "fiye minute" platform used
in the primary campaign. The main
ISSUE he believes, Is that Of conduct
ing the city affairs on a business
ike basis. He maintains Mayor Hy-
lan's administration has been ineffi-
Cient.
Mr.. Curran and the mayor do not
belong to the mutual admiration So
cicty They have clashed frequently.
when the annual police parade was
held some months ago. Mr.. Curran
was not invited TO the reviewing
stand so he mounted fire hydrant
and viewed the blueCoats as they
marched by.
The republican workers have been
busy applying salve TO the wounds
caused by the hot primary fight and
apparently all Is harmonious. The
three defeated candidates recently
diucd with Mr Curran and pledged
their loyal support TO him.
The campaigns Of the other can
didatCs so far have been conducted
quietly Political Observers believe
their votes will not Doe greatly I'm eN-
cess Of those at the last presidential
election, although it is recognized
that national party lines are not fol-
lowed closely in municipal elections.
The city Is nOrmaly democratic.
At the presidential election a year
ago. however. President Harding
pollcd 7S5.7S3 votes. and James VI.
Cox democrats candidate for pres
ideut. 34A131 The socialist vote
was l29,S22; the farmer-lahor party
1883, and the prohibittonists,
1850.
The new party in the fold this
fall is officially named the Workers
League of Greater New York, known
as the communists. Many of It's
workers formerly were associated
with the socialists.
