BY BYRON PRICE.

Chief Of Bureau. the Associated Press
Washington.
There are two schools OF thought as
to the political consequences Of a
Walker case postponement in New
York.
The remark heard most often among
politicians is that the Intervention Of
the courts, possibly delaying final action
until after the election, bids fair to
rescue Gov. Franklin Roosevelt from
the necessity of making one OF the
most difficult decisions ever faced by
presidential nominee.
There are astute politicians who do
not agree They see the Governor los
ing the great advantage they believe
he would have gained from a forceful,
clear-cut decision. at once removing
Mayor Walker from Office II the evi-
dence warrants and laying down ring
ing challenge to Tammany.
Gains Outweigh Losses.
Doubtless the changed situation in
wolves both debts and credits on the
Roosevelt political ledger, but the gains
are tar more obvious than the losses.
1t was plain. for instance that which
ever way the Governor jumped, he was
IN trouble. If he kept Walker N. he
was certain to be accused of truck
ling to !Tammany. II ne threw Walker
out, he ran the risk Of antagonizing
Tammany.
Conversely, II 1t now turns out that
| no decision is necessary until after cleo
ton. the Democratic nCminee VIII have
both sides suspended in air. and neither
will have anything much against him.
Presumably, whether he is elected
President or not, he will remain Gov
ernor for a time after election day.
Mayor Walkers friends throughout the
campaign, therefore, will be looking
wistfully to Albany. hopeful that the
axe will not descend. and careful to
do nothing that would make matters
