Significant in the maneuvering which preceding the final vote was the switch made by Borough P: dent James J. Byrne. Right along. ever since Tammany Hall has be engineering this deal, Byrne opposed the granting of the Brooklyn fran chise to the Equitable clique. 3yrne is a Brooklyn man, and or many other reasons, he favored the granting of the franc to the Coney Island and ( send Bus Corporation, a subsidiary of the B. |M. T., and the Brooklyn City Rail- road Company. Byrne’s opposition to the Brooklyn deal has blockaded the passage of the bill for some time past. Another one of those eleventh hour Walker deals was put over to jam the deal through. It is said that Olvanyegot Byrne on the telephone a few hours before the hearing and warned him that unless Byrne voted | for the Equitable franchise that he would order Walker into Brooklyn to campaign against Cooey, the Brook- lyn political chief, at the next elec- r | stein.
