By GEORGE TUCKER | NEW YORK, Nov. 26. — Jimmy Walker, erstwhile ringmaster of New York’s political circus, returns from his three year period of voluntary exile to find a different New York. Jimmy’s personal version of “Re- turn of the Native” is being played under the “big top” that oice was his, but it is now so chang:a that he scarcely can recognize if. In the star's dressing room, wherc Jimmie’s own spangles hung, is Flo- rello LaGuardia, whom Jimmy de feated in 1929 by 497,168 votes. Al Smith, always his idol, is no longer actively in politics.

The most casual announce- ment that Jimmy would appear here or there was sufficient to bring out, | like butterflies emerging from their cocoons, a grand parade of “big names.” The legislative storm that finally forced Walker to abdicate got under way in 1931. A committee made a thorough investigation of all con- racts issued by the Walker admin- stration. The blow-up, however, left Walker's name unmentioned until, months later, it was charged the Mayor had earned a huge profit from |an oil venture in which he had in- vested nothing.
