ONE WOMAN ON TICKET

The New York County Republican
Executive Committee. after a discus
sion which lasted all day yesterday
and did not begin to clear until late
last night, announced just before mid
night that the following had been Sc
lected as the party's designates for
local offices:
For Borough President. Ernest +.
Eilert; for Sheriff, John F. Shea; for
Register, Miss Helen Varlck Boswell;
for Judges of the City Court. William
Chorosh of Manhattan and William
J. Millard of The Bronx; for District
Attorney, John Kirkland Clark; for
County Clerk, Charles Novello; for
Judges of General Sessions. Joseph i.
Mulqueen, Morris Koenig and John II.
Iselin.
Emil Fuchs, who had entered the lists
for a designation for the Court OF Cen
eral Sessions, was induced several days
ago to withdraw from that race and try
for District Attorney. Opposition to
him developed there, and last night he
withdrew his name from consideration
for any office.
Great pressure was brought on the
committee to name County Clerk Will
lam +. Schneider for denomination. He
Is an independent Democrat, elected
originally on a fusion ticket. and the
executive committee took the ground
he had no claim on the Republicans. as
he had Joined the Hylan forces and ac-
cepted a Democratic nomination four
years ago.
There was some opposition to an In
dorsement for Judge Mulqueen. the ar
gument being made that the Bar Asso-
citation had made no move to obtain q
denomination for him. The final de-
cision. however, was to follow the rule
to indorse judge for denomination who
had served a full elective term.
Mr.. Eilert Is president of the Eilert
Printing Company. of 31S West Thirty
ninth street, and has long been active
in Republican county politics. Mr.. Shea
was Sheriff once before. Miss Boswell
is vice-president OF the county commit
tee and head of the women's division.
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Iselin both have been
Assistant District Attorneys. Judge
Mulqueen, who Is Democrat, is already
a member of the Court of General Ses-
sions. Mr.. Koenig Is a brother OF
Samuel S. Koenig, chairman of the COM
mittee. He is sitting on the bench by
appointment.
President La Guardia of the Board of
Alderman made the first move yester-
day in an attempt to join his forces
with those Of William NJ. Bennett and
Judge Reuben L. Haskell. who are also
running Independently for the Republi-
can nomination for Mayor. He sent
the following telegram to each:
Disregard Of the wishes and desires
oof the voters displayed by the bosses OF
the machine and the Indifference to the
best wishes Of the party, together with
a determined arrogance to nullify the
primary law. are factors which require
the Independent factors of the Republi-
can party to smash this machine and
redeem the Republican party. / would
be glad to meet and confer with you SO
that we may join forces. ] suggest
meeting Wednesday at / o'clock at the
Hotel Netherland, Manhattan"
The attitude taken by Bennett Is
stated In this letter sent last night tc
La Guardia:
