Cnroy Named
By Fusion for
Third Place


Republicans to be sure and see to it
that our votes are cast for the designees S
chosen by this ti-Tammany confer
ence. The other organizations cooper
atlng IN this movement also must fully
realize that We must work 1nceasinrlv
II we are to carry tnroug,l our work
IN the primaries and arterward win in
the general election. The result of
the primaries must be decisive.
We have been criticized in the last
two or three weeks for alleged acri-
monious discussion. That is due in
large part to the strong probability
that we stand to elect the entire fusion
ticket. Messrs. Curran and Lockwood
are seasoned campaigners and they are
confident of success 1t is very signif-
can't that Gilroy, Curran and Lockwood
have been developed as candidates by
THESE conferences in the last three
weeks. We learned to have a tremend-
GUS respect for Curran and Lockwood
because we discovered that either was
Wiling to serve in second place for the
common good. Now that we have
named lirst class ticket we want to
plead with the independent groups to
do their utmost in the primaries.
1T may be that the woman vote will
be the deciding factor in the campaign.
| believe that the character and ability
OF the men chosen for the city ticket
will commend the ticket to the conf
denca of the women of the City of New
York. Let us all leave this conference
to-day with the conviction that the
real work of the campaign is only just
begun"
Platform TO Suit Designees
Mr. Hilles, in answer to an inquiry,
said that Chairman Taft was vested
with authority to appoint seven mem
DeIs Of the platform committee Mr..
laft is out of town 1t is understood
that the platform will be made to con-
form to the public records and govern
mental ideas of Messrs. Curran, Lock
wood and Gilroy. The coaltionists
turned in platform containing many
attractive features, but there we're
planks which the Republicans will not
accept, and these either will be greatly
modified or dropped altogether Major
Curran has made it clear to the leaders
that unless the platform conforms to
what he stands for, and has been stand
ing tor IN municipal affairs, he will re-
lect 1t, direct the attention of voters
to his record, and let it go at that.
W hen County President Koenig was
asked about the possibility of either
w lilidHi N. bennett or I. II. La Guar
dla naming a straight Republican pri-
mary candidate in opposition to Mr..
Gilroy he said:
at will not avail them. The voters
OF this city know the difference be-
tween ticket backed by the Republi-
cans and anti-Tammany forces and a
ticket promulgated b. mere opportu-
nists in politics, and they will vote
accordingly. The ticket offered the Re-
pu bllcan electors of this city is strong
and fit and selected with such regard
for the attainment Of good government
that it will sweep the primaries and
win in November"
With the city ticket disposed Of, the
Republican leaders to-day in ali the
boroug hs will get busy on the forma-
tion of states for county and borough
Offices. For President of the Borough
Of Manhattan the names most discussed
are Ernest f. Eilert, Republican, for
mel member of the Board of Education
and president of the Printers Associa-
ton, and Clarence f. Fay, Commission
er of Public Works in the Office of Bor-
ough President Curran.
Miss Helen Varick Boswell may be
chosen as the Republican candidate for
Registrar of New York County
Colonel Sydney Grant, of the 18th
