Resolutions indorsing the Republi-
can-Coalition municipal ticket were
adopted without a dissenting vote by
the Kings County Republican Execu-
tive Committee yesterday. At the same
time 1t agreed upon the local ticket to
be recommended to enrolled members
OF the party in the primaries. 1t Is
headed by George w. Baker. shoe
manufacturer. for President OF the
Borough of Brooklyn.
There was little appreciable change
as regards the local Manhattan ticket.
Samuel S. Koenig, the leader, was at
his home in Bradley Beach. but the
friends of various candidates for desig-
nation spent busy day working for
favorable position. 1t was learned that
joint conference of members of the
Price Coalition Committee and of the
Citizens Union had agreed to support
John Kirkland Clark for District At
torney, but made no choice for other
places on the ticket. Representatives
of these organizations will confer with
Mr.. Koenig tomorrow morning. But
Emil Fuchs. who is making q hot fight
for District Attorney. has many friends
both in and outside the Republican or
ganization.

in Brooklyn. presided over the meeting
of the executive committee, and there

1t came to vive voce action on the
