at Wednesday Meeting

Senator Charles C. Lockwood, ac-
cording to influential Brooklyn Repub-
licans. is the present choice of the
Kings County Republican organization
for Mayor. Senator Lockwood, The
Tribune was informed yesterday, also
has been promised the support of the
Queens organization.
The Livingston and Calder factions,
which have been at loggerheads for
more than two years, are said to be
unanimously behind the Lockwood
boom.
Senator Lockwood's name formally
will be presented to the Republican,.
Coalition conferees Wednesday at the
Hotel Commodore by his Brooklyn
friends, it was said last night.
The Senator, while identified with
the Calder faction in Brooklyn, is per-
scnally popular with the Livingston
group, and it may be that the Kings
County chairman may present his
name as Brooklyn's choice.
One of the most. active supporters
OF Senator Lockwood is Frederick j.
+. Kracke, Port Appraiser. Appraiser
kracke said last night:
II am for Lockwood. But that does
not mean that l shall close my mind to
the consideration Of other candidates,
Tor primarily am interested in the
defeat of Tammany."
Slogan Is, Beat Tammany
That is the attitude of most of the
Lockwood supporters. They are first
of all interested in the defeat of Tam
many, and while believing that Senator
Lockwood is the best man to put for
ward against Mayor Hylan in Novem-
Ter, they will accept stronger candi-
GATE if the conference agrees upon one,
Senator Lockwood according to his
friends will run if the conference
agrees upon him. What effect this
would have ON the determination of
Majors F. H. La Guardia, President of
the Board of Aldermen, to enter the pri-
maries could not be learned last
night, as La Guardia was out of town
have been friends for some time. Be
fore the Senator became the central
figure in the Brooklyn situation La
Guardia announced that he was in the
race to stay.
Friends of Senator Lockwood quietly
have been canvassing the leaders in
his behalf for more than a month
pointing out that if he were a can.
didate he could make a big appeal on
achievements OF the Lockwood hOuS-
ing committee and that, in addition. his
fight for better wages and better con-
ditions for teachers and other large
groups in the city's employ would ado
to his strength as vote getter.
Following Senator Lockwood's an
nouncement on Saturday that he had
not been consulted when ex-senator
William M. Benefits following named
him for Comptroller on the Bennett
ticket and that he would not run fol
Comptroller on any ticket, came an in
formal gathering of Brooklyn leaders
at which it was said that Senator
Lockwood should be the Brooklyn or
CARNATIONS choice for Mayor.
Several prominent Democrats, in
Guiding Samuel Untermyer, who served
without pay as counsel to the Lock
wood housing committee, have an.
nounced that if Senator Lockwood were
candidate for Mayor they would
stump the city for him.
The meeting of the Republican
coalition conference at the Hotel Com
modore on Wednesday will be watched
with more than passing interest BY
politicians throughout the state. There
las been nothing like slate even at
tempted as yet. The truth is that there
