Yesterday was. Ultimatum Day
among the confused anti-Tammany
fusionists.
Senator Charles S. Lockwood served
an ultimatum on the Republican
leaders that unless there is substan-
tlal unanimity among the Republicans
in all the boroughs they could count
him out of the Mayoralty race, as he
wanted to go on practicing law and
winding up the affairs of the Lockwood
housing committee.
Republican leaders in BROOKLYN
served an ultimatum on Elections
Commissioner Jacob A. Livingston
that unless he kept his promise made
in the presence of witnesses to Sen
stor Lockwood to support him Loyalty
in the primaries he would wind up
with only one vote in the executive
committee and that his days of politi-
cal leadership were numbered.
Manhattan and Brooklyn Republicans
served an ultimatum on Joseph M.
Price, leader of the coalitionists. that
if he wanted the confidence of the
steering committee he would stay awav
from Elections missioner Living
ston and get his news from the Brook
Ign members of the steering committee
Senator Calder, United States Ap-
praiser Kracke and Mrs. Beatrice V,
Stevenson.
Troubles Soon 70 End
Finally, as an end to a perfect dog
Gay, DR.. E. E. Hicks, of the coalitionist
executive committee, took to the execu-
tive committee of the coalitionists at
the Commodore, a resolution calling
for the dishandment of the coalition
committee. But the good natured doc
tors wrath cooled at the meeting of
the committee and he did not introduce
his resolution.
The antiTammany leaders are con-
adent that they are getting all of their
pre-primary troubles out of their col
iectlve system, and that on Tuesday
they will be able to name a winning
ticket with Lockwood for Mayor, Cur
ran for Comptroller and an indepen-
dent Democrat for President of the
Board of Aldermen.
Senator William M. Calder will be
back in town tomorrow more confident
than ever that the steering committee
VIII unanimously agree on Senator
Lockwood for Mayor and that the re-
malnder of the ticket, and the platform,
when it appears, will put Tammany on
the defensive.
The meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the coalitionists lasted for
two hours and half. Mr.. Price pre-
sided, and about fifteen of the twenty
nine members were in atten lance. The
situation, especially in Brooklyn, was
canvassed. Messrs. Price and Allen,
who called on Commissioner Livingston
on Thursday for information about the
solidarity Of the Republican organiza-
ton behind Senator Lockwood, told the
committee about their interviews. They
said afterward that they had not been
criticized for their mission.
There is no change in the situation" !"
said Mr.. Price. "I fully expect that at
the meeting of the steering committee
on Tuesday next we shall agree upon q
ticket. The situation is such that a
compromise candidate might possibly
be chosen, although | am not saying
mat such matter is scheduled for
discussion. My position is the same as
II has been, namely, that the designa
uon OF q Brooklyn man for Mayor is
not absolutely necessary"
Report Being Prepared
When asked about the possibility of
discarding all of the names under dis
cussion and choosing Justice Cropsey
or Henry W. Taft, Mr.. Price said there
was nothing i'll it" He refused to
discasss at any length the doings of the
executive committee, saying that there
was was an understanding that the execu-
i've committee would report to the full
coalition committee at the Comm odore
on Monday night next.
When Mr.. Price was asked about the
res'gnations from day to day from his
committee of men and women who de-
clare their intention to support Major
La Guardia in the primaries, he said
mat there had been only five resigna
lions from a committee of 325, and that
them.
Senator Lockwood came in from
Long Branch to talk with Republicans
