The Kings County Republican
Executive Committee, without
murmur Of dissent, yesterday morn
ing indorsed the Republican-coalition
ticket. Elections Commissioner Jacob
A. Livingston presided.
Senator Calder in brief speech,
in which he reviewed the work of the
Republican steering committee, on
which the Brooklyn Republicans
were represented, said that the or
ganization was called upon to sup
port the ticket of its own choosing.
On his motion the executive commit
tee, amid applause, indorsed the
designation of Curran. Lockwood
and Gilroy. The resolution follows:
Resolved. That the Executive Com
mittee of the Republican County Com
mittee of Kings County does hereby
ratify and approve of the unanimous
Recommendation and designation of
Major Henry 81. Curran as nominee for
Mayor, of Senator Charles C.. Lockwood
as nominee for Comptroller and of
Vincent Gilroy as nominee for Presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen by the
conference composed of delegates dulv
authorized and appointed by the Re-
publican County Committee and from
other boards opposed to Tammany Hall.
| And because of the eminent fitness
and qualifications for the respective Of
| fees for which they have been recon-
mended, we accordingly urge that they
each receive the support of Republican
voters at the primary elections to be
held on September 13. 1921"
No Opposition Shown
As soon as the leaders gathered at
the Garfield Building, in Court Street,
for the meeting, it was apparent that
| friends of Commissioner Livingston, if
they had intended at any time to make
any fight against Endorsement Of the
ticket, had abandoned such a plan. Liv-
ingston spoke of Endorsement as fore
gone conclusion. The unanimous vote
was no surprise. Every one seemed
satisfied.
The only thing resembling a contest
took place when the borough and
county slate came up for Endorsement,
Then Livingston took q stand against
the Endorsement of Register Edward H.
Maddox to succeed himself. He was
Joined in his opposition by Mrs. Bea-
trice Stevenson and ex-senator Reuben
H. Gledhill, all OF whom went on record
against Maddox
The Brooklyn borough and county
slate, as already printed in The Trib-
une, was indorsed as follows:
Borough President-George W. Baker.
Sheriff-Peter S. Seary.
Register-Edward H. Maddox, to sue
ceed himself
County William r. Bayes, to
succeed himself, Almeth w. Hoff and
John R. Farrar.
Satisfied, Says Livingston
II am at peace with the world ard
content and satisfied with the city
ticket" said Commissioner Livingston,
when asked how he liked the result.
"Are you in accord with the action
of the committee ?" he was asked.
"There was no opposition, was there"
said Mr.. Livingston,
Colonel Michael Friedsam president
of B. Altman & Co., whom the Repub-
lican coalition committee asked to COR
slider the designation for President of
the Borough of Manhattan, yesterday
sent letter to Arthur B. Murtha,,
chairman of the committee which cons
ferred with Colonel Friedsam, in which
he said:
"Under no consideration could con-,
slider the nomination for that or any
man can serve the country best by
attending strictly to business at this
time"
In answer to a statement of Henry
w. Taft, chairman of the Anti-Tam-i
many Conference, from White Sulphur
Springs, that at is to be regretted .hat
they La Guardia, Bennett and Haskelll
did not unite with the Others" Pres'-
dent F. H. La Guardia of the Board of
Alderman, candidate for Mayor in the
Republican primaries, said yesterday
81 regret that they the antj-Tam-
many conference would not unite
with the Republicans in first formu-
lating platform upon which, perhaps,
all could have agreed. The party must
save itself from the present upstate
control. I believe it is the first time
in the history of politics where candi~
dates have been selected first and the
platform made secondary considera-
ton. A platform to win for it's candi-
dates must contain clear statement
of reputation of the Miller policies.
We who summer in New York City,
live here all the time, perhaps are in a
better position to know just what the
Republicans and voters of this city
need to inspire them to battle" said
La GudTOld.
Supporters Of Major La Guardia saiS
yesterday that they had been informed
that County Judge Haskell would have
campaign fund of 100000.
Fusionists May Name Schneider
1t is definitely settled that William
F. Schneider will not be renominated
by Tammany, but it is possible that he
will. be chosen by the fusionists to
succeed himself as County Clerk of
New York County
| One OF the arguments urged against
the denomination of Mr.. Schneider is
that he has held the Office of County
! Clerk for twelve years and that ha
should give another fellow a chance''
This argument is said by the commit
tee of lawyers who have organized to
| bring about the reelection of Mr..
Schneider to be a point ir his favor.
This committee. consisting Of Repub-
lican and Democratic lawyers, leaders
at the bar has obtained the signatures
Of more than 1000 lawyers who ask that
the County Clerk be retained in MS
| job.
They argue that because of his long
tenure he is better fitted to FIJI tka
Offices than an inexperienced man
would be. The lawyers also have ex~
pressed their praise of the services
which they have received in the ofica
