TAMMANY MAY RUN WALKER FOR MAYOR Curry Favors Naming Jim- my Again Notwithstanding Quitting Under Fire NEW YORK, Oct. 4—Rumor is that Tammany Hall, feeling that it is in danger of losing control over New York City Hall through the threat of Democrats that are backing Mayor Joseph W. McKee, is now looking to former Mayor James J. Walker to save the sit- uation, and will favor his nom- ination for Mayor at a city-wide convention to be held next Thurs- day. The New York State Court of Appeals having reversed the de- cision of the Supreme Court that held an election held this year would be illegal, it has been de- cided to nominate a candidate for Mayor this week. Former Mayor Walker will leave France today on the German liner Europa. He will not reach New York until after the nomination shall have been made. John F. Curry, Tammany leader, and John H. McCooey, Brooklyn [Democratic leader, are in Albany at the Democratic State Conven- fion. Curry is said to have declared that although Walkér resigned of- fice under fire, he still had the support of the regular organiza- tion. The Italian liner Rex on which Walker was speeding to New York to stage his fight for vindication became crippled and he left the ship at Gibraltar for France, where he hopes 'to connect with the Eu- ropa. ———ee There are in the United States more than 26500000 persons at- CHURCH ISSUE! — The 8 When Capt.
