 100 Braves in Wiswam
 More than 400 braves stood about in the reception room on the second floor, down in the main lobby, and out on the sidewalk as the 7l men and women who were to make the selection filed through the ballroom and up narrow iron stairway to the white walled executive chamber.
 Curry's packers were credited ' few weeks ago with having been ,e- sponsible for the decision to seek tho advice Of the so-called Big Four"
 When the meeting at which th's decision was made took place, Cur rvs position was weakened by the strength of Martin A. McCue, east side district leader.
 All 35 of the women co-leaders were present when the meeting got under way, although one Of them arrived late, having come from Att lantic City
 Murphys Right Bower John F. Curry. Tsmmany's neI leader has been known as Charlie Murphy's right bower" He was a particularly close friend of the late Charles r. Murphy who for years was head of the old wig wam on 14th street His associates now say that he. more than any other leader. may be expected to carry on the Murphy tradition of maintaining harmony.
 Curry moves up to the top from eadership in a district clubhouse on West 51th street. in the shadow of the building where the democratic rational com nittee had its head quarters during the last campaign. For years he has been the leader in that district.
 Mir. Curry is in the insurance busi- ness and wealthy. He started as telegraph operator in the old west side stockyards along the North river. He was born in Ireland and came here with his parents as . small boy.
 Commissioner Of Records
 LurES IS now tOlIllll lSolOHSi VI records for New York county. As | state assemblyman he introduced the original bill calling for 5-cent sub way fare from Manhattan to Con"y Island. IL is still III effect.
 As one of those closely associated with Murphy. Curry was a candi- date opposing George W. Olvany in the prolonged struggle for Tam many leadership that followed Mur. phys death and the democratic na- tiona' convention in 1924 His slo- gan was then: "A leader, not a lawyer"
 In appearance Curry does not Tit the mental picture that the express son political boss calls up. Hs looks like big business Inan-neat- ly and conservatlyely dressed. with grey hair and q grey mustache. He is GlIiet and rather unassumlng, hie manner is pleasant. but he does not have much to say for publication. That's quite a characteristic or Tammany leaders.
 Curry has several children, most of them grown and out of college.

Gen. Zuriaga was in charge. Defensive

movements, sand-bag barricades, etc,
alarmed the city. Business was para

diSorganized. All communications with
the south had been broken.
Troops were reported coming from
Saltillo. The railroad and highway are
between two immense mountain ranges
and the Fill of the Obispado is the
strategic point and was fortified. A
skirmish occurred near there with an
advance troop at 1880 am.
But unexpectedly revolutionary troops
came by train from the northwest, from
Paredon, shortly before noon and estab-
lished themselves at the station and the
brewery near by. A reinforcement regi-
ment from Linares came marching in
and was captured without shot being
fired; surrendered voluntarily; nobody

UNDERGOING
HARD TEST
BY B. c. FORBES

The stock market is undergoing
a test. perhaps the severest it has
vet encountered. The disturbance
precipitated by the Federal Re-
serve Boards action apparently
alarmed washington. The Treas
ury Department manifestly tried
to exercise a Modifying influence.
Nobody-outside of Wall Street
bears-desires to see anything re-
sembling stock market debacle
because the effect upon business
and employment might be very
unfortunate. On the other hand,
were the speculative boom to go
on and on, absorbing more and
more credit, the effect upon enter
prise and employment would also,
it is reasoned, be unfortunate.
Hence the restrictive measures.
The market yesterday acted
more calmly than many had pre-
dicted. The resistance shown by
most stocks showed clearly that
many holders still are confident
in the soundness of current
quotations. The danger is that
the general public may suddenly
take fright and start throwing
their stocks on the market re-
gardless of prices realized. Should
that happen, the bulls, notwith-
standing that they admittedly
are tremendously powerful, would
be rendered helpless.
However, the markets action
yesterday was the reverse of
panicky. He would be a bold
man who would dare to predict
what is going to happen next.
One city, contemplating national
advertising, asks me whether it
should concentrate on attracting
tourists or new industries. Both
are desirable, but, in my opinion,
new industries are more funda-
mental for the solid growth of most
cities.
What even one plant can mean
to city was vividly illustrated by
Edgar S. Bloom, president of West.
ern Electric. at dinner rendered
him in Baltimore, where the COM
pany is building a plant. Said
President Bloom:
when finally completed to ul-
innate capacity, our Point Breeze
plant VIII PROVIDE employment
for about 10000 people. which
will mean, after making due al
lowance for the members of the
families of Western Electric
workers not gainfully employed,
an addition of $4,000 to the pop.
ulation of your city. We must,
however. add to this figure an
additional $4,000 to cover the ac-
cessory population. of which num-
Der it is estimated that $4,000
will be gainfully employed, ca
tering to the needs of Western
Electric employees and their fam
flies, and also to the needs of
the accessory group. To put it
in another way. our Point Breeze
plant at ultimate capacity will
sustain a total population of
10000 people. When that ca
pacity is reached we will have
a yearly payroll of upwards Of
$4S,000,000, and the sales value
of our output viii be in excess
Of $175, 100000"
