BY JAMES C.. AUSTIN

New York, Sept 2s-(UP)-Sub- jected to terrific pressure by two opposing political factions, former Mayor Joseph V. Mckee promised to announce definitely today wheth- CT he would be candidate in this falls mayoralty election.
 Fusionists backing Fiorello H. LaGuardia protested that as . friend of honest government Me- Kee should stay out and not en- danger their campaign to oust May or John, P. o'Brien and Tammahy hall from city hall.
 Independent and Rooseveltian democrats believed Mckee could win over both LaGuardia and O'Brien and that he was the man to keep q coalition headed by an insurgent republican and backed by regular republicans from gaining control of the city government.
 Political observers believed that McKee's announcement today would with the backing of his political sponsor, Edward J. Flynn, leader of the Bronx and only New York city leader allied with tho Roose- volt administration They believed he would have at least the tacit support of the Roosevelt admin istration and perhaps the active support of Postmaster-Gen eneral James J.

 LaGuardia opened his campaign In Brooklyn without referring to Mckee. Earlier yesterday. LaGuar- dia predicted a fusion victory whether orNn not a third candidate entered the field.
 Samuel Seabury, manager of the fusionist campaign, expressed be- lief that Mckee would not be a candidate. He said "McKee has pledged his word of honor that he would under no circumstances be a candidate"

The crime resulted from 8 fight over the payment of 50 cents for a pint of liquor. Belski, the state claimed, slew Tony Varneski, 40. also a squatter in one of the shacks at the Golf Lots.
 During the trial of the case that took up two days in court, eight of the residents of the Squat ters' Village" of various racial ex- fractions, testified.
 The jury brought in it's verdict at 12:42 after retiring for deliber- ation at noon. Arguments of States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis, Public Defender w. w. Gager, ap- bearing for Belski and the charge of Judge Jennings took about an hour and a quarter.
 According to the testimony in the case, Belski and Varneski were companions in one of the shacks at the Village.
 They busted themselves during the day, the same as the other "squatters" by picking over the dump for scrap pieces of copper and brass, together with bottles and other junk which they sold for small change. This change pur- chased meat and bones which was made into soup, the principal meal at the village.
 A 35-foot well supplies the "vil- lage" with fresh water.
 On Sunday afternoon, Juno IS, Varneski came into town and re- turned to the village with a pint If liquor. The liquor was put into coffee to make 6 potent drink. Af- ter the mixture had been con- sumed, Varneski asked Belski to pay his share for the liquor. his share being 50 cents. Belski re- fused to pay and fight resulted during which Varneski wielded a penknife and Belski q two-foot piece of lead pipe.
 Several witnesses said that after Varneshi was knocked to the ground, Belski jumped on his body.
 Varneski was removed to St Mary's hospital where ho died early next day.
 States Attorney Lewis in his summation to the jury explained that the crime against the accused could have been murder instead of manslaughter, but after discussing 1t with Judge Jennings 1t was de- cided to make the charge man. slaughter. He explained that an element of self.defense was evi- dent and that the court would charge the jury along those lines
 He said human life had been taken and that fact made 1t a seri- ous and important case. MT Gagef in his arguments charged that Bei- ski committed the act in self de- fense against the knife wielded by | Varneski.
