Judges Camp.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October 16.-Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman entered New
York City's political campaign to-
day-with the election II days Off
by proclaiming his support Of former
Judge jeremiah T. Mahoney, Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor.
Lehman, himself a Democrat, fol-
lowed the lead of Postmaster General
James A. Farley and United States
Senators Robert F. Wagner and Royal
8. Copeland by indorsing the Tam
many-backed New Deal opponent Of
Mayor Fiorello H. Laguardia, who is
also an avowed New Deal enthusiast
Laguardia is being supported for re-
election by the Fusion, Republican
American Labor and other minority
parties
Lehman Praises Mahoney.
In a letter to Mahoney, Lehman
described the candidate as "a man
who, by character, ability and train
Ing, is equipped in every way to
administer the affairs of the city of
New York"
The Governor said Il shall be very
glad, indeed, to vote for you and
for your associates, Frank ]. Taylor
and Max ]. Schneider" the Demo-
cratic candidates, for controller and
president of the council.
Senator Wagner, lifelong friend
OF Mahoney, will make his first speech
IN behalf of the Democratic ticket at
labor rally Monday night, sponsored
by an American Federation of Labor
Afhliates Committee.
New Party Denounced.
Announcement of the meeting came
today as George A. Meany, president
Of the State Federation of Labor, is
sued a statement denouncing the re-
Gently organized Trades Union party
for Mahoney, which has petitioned
Tor place on election ballots.
1T is as fictitious and fraudulent
from stem to stern, as a SO BILL" said
Meany, adding, the A. F. of L. is
practically unanimous in support OF
La Guardia in this campaign"
La Guardia already has been
pledged c. I. o. support by John L
Lewis and other leaders OF that labor
organization.
James P. Holland, former State A.
F. OF L. president, is among the listed
speakers for the Mahoney rally Mon
day, to be held in historic Cooper
Union
Says Labor Backs Mahoney.
THE purpose of this great labor
rally" said Peter A. Cassidy, chair
man Of Mahoneys A. F. of L. Afili-
ates Committee, "is publicity to assure
Judge Mahoney and his running mates
that the vast majority of the rank and
file of organized labor is solidly be-
hind him."
Mahoney's charge that La Guardia
has driven industrial firms from the
city brought sharp retort from Ray
mond M. Schwartz, executive secre-
tary of the Conference on Port De.
velopment of the City. who is attend
ing a national convention of traffic
representatives in Washington. D. C.
Schwartz said 235 of ATS firms

decided not to do so, and passed.
The opening lead was the A of
clubs. Dummy's @ held the trick.
Probably North could have gone
game, doubled, for top score, had
he played with his usual skill. At
once declarer should have led the
j. of diamonds, then won with his
K, as if he lacked the O.. The J
or 10 Of clubs should have been led.
If East failed to win the trick, a
low heart should have been led.
Doubtless East would not have put
up his Ace. A good guess Of the
X to play, would at once have
yielded game. The two club tricks
and the trick in hearts would have
given declarer three tricks. The
Ace of clubs and his five diamond
tricks would have totalled nine.
OF course the contract could
have been defeated by East's at
once taking his X of clubs, pre-
summing North played as suggested.
The Ace Of spades might have
been led, followed by the @, which
West might overtake with the K,
and lead the good j for tine fourth
defensive trick. But then the Ace
of hearts would have been the
only other trick possible for de.
tenders to win, as dunnmy's K Of
hearts and 10 of spades would
have been good, so also would have
declarer's diamonds and clubs. But
going down on the cards properly
played was improbable.
Instead of playing as North
afterwards admitted he should
have done, he tried to establish
dun1my's spades, then led his ] Of

by going down three tricks dou-

power to improve banking condi-

combating practices which were evil
in their results. Those powers have
been concentrated to a greater de-
gree than before in a single public

his trial on a charge of muir
dering Clayton Franks Aug.

His iron calm collapsed before
his emotions as he described to the
jury the events leading up to the
moment he emptied his six shooter
into the heart of the man he blam-
ed for winning his wife away from
him. He covered his face with his
handkerchief until he recovered.
While Lee Nuffer, his attorney,
was reading excerpts from a letter
introduced in evidence as one writ

I love him."

COACH TALKS
AT MEETING
OF LIONS CLUB

Coach w. S. Taylor, Ell Centro
high school grid mentor outlined
the many problems that confront
high school and college coaches
at the weekly dinner of the Ell
Centre Lions club.
1.-THE public, the school and school
officials want a winning ball club"
Taylor said, and they expect the
coach to produce a championship
team every season.
"And so the grid mentor drills
his players to win the championship
and turns gray and years older
each season in the effort"
Coach Taylor summarized his
system at Central Union and how
he tries each season to turn out
a championship team for the salts
faction of the public and of the
school.
