WALKER ASSA|LED
BY c. 0. P. CITY CLUB
Breakdown of Office Charged
as Mayor Is Ready to File
Original Reply.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Mayor Walk
er's defense of his administration was
ready for delivery to Gov. Roosevelt TO-
day, but scarcely had it been finished
than he found himself subjected to at
tack from a new quarter.
The latest criticism came from the
City Affairs Committee of the National
Republican Club, which charged break
down and generalization of the city
government" The first bill Of COM
plant filed with the Governor-that to
which the mayor has drawn up his re-
ply-originated with the City Affairs
Committee, a group which has no rela-
ton to the Republican Club despite a
similarity in names. Both call upon the
Governor to remove the mayor from Of
flee.
The report of the committee of the
Republican Club attacks the mayor in
his private life as well as in his official
position.
Little Time Given job"
There have been two troubles with
Mayor Walker" the report reads. I'm
the first place he has. as the world
knows, given little time or attention to
his job.
He has joked, juuketed to race
tracks, sat up all night at wild parties,
entertained Hollywood and ignored the
city's problems. We have no concern
with Mayor Walkers private escapades
except in so far as they interfere with his
public duties. The mayor of New York
has no right to allow the vagaries Of his
private life to interfere with reasonable
attention to the responsibilities Of his
great Office"
The second objection to the mayor,
the report said, is that he lis an in
tegral part of political machine which
is interested in building up its own
power and filling the pockets OF its
members rather than in governing the
city we'll"
The City Affairs Committee, TO whose
charges the mayor wrote his reply, last
night asked Gov Roosevelt's permission
to file a rebuttal before he takes action.
