NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-It's a three-ring circus sure enough-this New York mayoralty campaign.
 Now Joseph V. Mckee, briefly an acting mayor after the abdication of James J. Walker, enters the political big top on a prancing steed supplied by Edward J. Flynn, Bronx Democratic leader and erst- while teammate of Boss John F. Curry of Tammanys Hall
 Already snarling Tammany Tiger was clawing at the fusion whip of F'iorello H. LaGuardia, h. dependent Republican The Tiger fights the battle of Mayor John P. OBrien, sorely beset by the colossal financial difficulties of the city.
 Mckee Former Regular
 As Mckee, after much hesita- tion, levels his lance for the charge the great audience of New York City voters strains it's necks. Which two will get thumbs down?
 Joe Mckee is a former Tammany regular" President of the Board of Aldermen in the Walker regime, who last April announced his '.com- plete elimination" from politics and governmental office" to be- come a banker.
 Despite that, there were strong evidences that the fusion of in- dependent Democrats and Republi- cans wanted him to be their can- didate against Tammany, and La Guardia then said he would sup port Mckee If he will run on an anti -Tammany ticket"
 Mckee did not battle then, hold ing back as he had done last Oc- tober when Boss Curry, seeking a candidate for the remainder of Walkers unexpired term, put Mc- Kee aside and selected O'Brien.
 His Return Dramatic
 Fusion finally turned to La Guardia, and it's leaders claimed they had Tammany on the run. Then came McKee's dramatic re- turn to politics.
 Some political theorists attribut- ed McKee's about-face to the plan ming of Postmaster General James A. Farley, State and National Dem ocratic Chairman. They said Far ley sought to build up Democrat ic organization in the city in com- plete sympathy with the adminis- trations in Washington and AL bany

 "ToO Bad" For Fences
 Expressing surprise at the pre- ponderance of larceny cases com ing before him, Judge Alexander commented that Alaska has a rep utation far and wide for honesty as being a place where keys to house doors are unknown and un- used and where a householder can leave his purse on the front door post without danger of loss.

 REPORT TO HITLER
Three Countries Firm in Stand Against Grant
 ing Rearmament

GENEVA, Oct. 13.-Dr. Rudolf Nadolny, G erm a n Disarmament Conference Representative, has left for Berlin, openly furious at the three power plan to shut Germany out of any defensive armaments. He has been called by Chancellor Hitler to report on the conference which Reich delegates considered decidedly unfavorable to their pro- gram.
 Dr. Nadolnys re e n t m e nt is against the plan of Great Britain, France and the United d States which in a formal resolution, in effect bars Germany providing de- fensible ornaments. It is said, however, there may be a change when the conference continues on Monday.
 Italian Mediator
 Italian delegates are unoffIclally said to have suggested Premier Mussolini act as mediator in the tangled arms problem.
 The German delegate is reported to have told German newspaper men that other powers are trying to impose their will on the Reich. He is also said to have mentioned the usefulness of continuing con- versations here.
 It is understood that American Special Ambassador Davis has ta- ken a prominent part in the de- cision to drop the resolution against Germany.
 The Americans however took a stand with the British and French on the principle there be no re- armament in Germany during the first period of disarmament be- yond the treaty of Versailles.
