Washington, d. c., Nov. 80. =
The story of a first-class, face-tO-
face row between those prime poll
tical enemies Mayor Howard w.
Jackson and Governor Herbert r.
O'Conor, has just leaked out. 1t
happened at an emergency finance
meeting at the Hotel Emerson in
the closing days of the recent cam
paign. Those who witnessed the
verbal tilt say that when genial,
mild-mannered O'Conor got his
Irish up the two men came near
squaring off at each other.
Just a fortnight before election,
when money matters were becom-
ing extremely strained - to say
nothing of over-worked dispositions
Treasurer Preston Lane called a
meeting of bigwigs to see what ex-
ira dollars could be scraped to-
gether Among those who gather
ed to report their collections were
O'Conor, Jackson, Campaign Chair
man Truman Cash, Willie Curran,
Senator Radcliffe and Sam Hoff-
berger
The emergency session had
scarcely got down to business when
a phone call came in for the Mayor.
1t was rather lengthy. This was
followed by another. There was
then a brief spell in which O'Conor
reported that they could count on
him for $500 - which was $500
over his quota.
The Mayor was next to report,
but he was interrupted by still an
other phone call At the conclu-
sion of this he declared he hadn't
anything to report and never un-
derstood that he was to bring in
any extra money over and above
his personal contribution of $1,750.
Someone chimed in to claim that
