M'KEE DECISION
 CAUSES TURMOIL
Praised and Attacked Farley's Name Brought
 Into N. Y. Impasse

New York, Sept. 30 -(UP)- New York prepared today for It's hottest mayoralty campaign in years as former Mayor Joseph V. Mckee was assailcd by barrages of abuse and praise for his last min ute entry into the race. He will oppose Mayor John r. o'Brien. Tammany incumbent. and Fiorello II. LaGuardia. candidate of the fu- sion forces which desire to remove Tammay control from city govern ment.
 McKees entry was regarded as q definite aid to sorely beset Tamanmy which faced almost cer- tain defeat with It's unpopular can. didate against the' lively colorful campaigner, LaGuardia. Tammany. however, had little reason to feel encouraged. While Mckee was an- nouncing his candidacy yesterday, Gov. Herbert H. Lehman an- nounccd he would convene another extraordinary session of the Legis- lature to enact laws to assist ad- justment of muddled municipal f- nancing.
 The Legislature session will be inopportune for Tammany, focus- sing public attention on municipal finances at & time when opposition campaign speakers are ready to call attention to all remisses. Gov ernor Lehman said he would call the special session in a few days, assured by Assemblyman Irwin Steingut and Senator John J. Dun nigan, democratic legislative lead- CTS. that they supported the bills which give the city authority to carry out a comprehensive re-fi- nancing agreement with bankers. was assured.
 Fusion forces were bitter over McKee's entry and denounced him as a Tammany-ite. He declared his candidacy was Tammany trick to decoy votes away from LaGuar- dia and assure the reelection of Mayor O'Brien. Samuel Seabury, leader of the fusionists, was ex- pected to open their campaign and on Mckee at a campaign meeting Monday night.
 The name of Postmaster Gen. eral James A. Farley was brought into the issue by Charles C. Bur lingham. chairman of the fusion harmony committee. He charged McKee's candidacy was the result of a plan of Farley and Edward J. Flynn. Bronx leader. to punish Tammany leader John r. Curry and Brooklyn leader John H. Me Cooey for their opposition to Mir Roosevelt's nomination at the Chi cago democratic convention. Far- ley and Flynn hoped to place the Flynn machine in control of mu- nicipal patronage instead of Tam

New York, Sept 30-(UP)-- Some of the nations best business men can neither read nor write, Supreme Court Justice George Fl. Furman ruled in reserving decl- sion on an application for the dis missal of Hyman Shorenstein as commissioner of records on the grounds that Shorenstein is illit- crate.
 Murray Pomeranz, who applied for writ to force the retirement of the commissioner, could cite no specific instances wherein Shoren- stein failed to perform official duties.
 Most work in an office to-day is done on a typewriter, anyway" Justice Furman said.
 If your honor does not grant this application you will be putting premium on ignorance" Pomer- anz said.
 Emil weitzner, Shorenstein's at- torney. exclaimed:
 This is a democracy. and not an intellectual aristocracy."
