FUSIN CANDIATE MEETS CPPUSTN Three Others Would Oppose Tammany’s Choice for New York’s Mayoralty. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, -August 29.—Three hurdles are in the pathway of the re- publican-coalition organization in the race for the New York city mayoralty nomination on September 13—Maj. F. H. La Guardia, president of the board of aldermen; former State Senator W. M. Bennett of Brooklyn and Judge Reuben L. Haskell of Brooklyn. The republicans and coalitionists, who recently unanimously agreed upon Maj. Henry H. Curran, president of the borough of Manhattan, as their candidate, are confident he will sur- mount each barrier and that when the race is over there will be com- plete harmony in the quadrennial at- tempt to twist the tail of the Tam- many tiger. Linked with Curran are State Sena- tor Charles C. Lockwood of Brooklyn, candidate for controller, and Vin- cent Gilroy, camdidate for the presi- dency of the board of aldermen. Gil- roy’s uncle was a Tammany mayor of New York. - Opposes State's Interference. Maj. La Guardia, a former repre- sentative in Congress, who served with the Italian air forces in the great war, a “regular” republican, has kicked over the traces and an- nounced his opposition to the state government Interfering with city af- fairs. Former Senator Bennett was the man who upset republican-fusion plans four years ago, when he won an unexpected victory over the late Mayor John Purroy Mitchel in the primaries. Judge Haskell was elected 1o the Kings county bench on a “wet” platform in a spectacular campaign 1wo years ago. Tammany Hall has named Mayor John F. Hylan as a candidate to suc- ceed himself, and no opposition has appeared. Tammany Hall Dissatisfied. Some dissatisfaction appeared in Tammany Hall when Murphy an- nounced _his designations on the ticket. Efforts have been made to organize an anti-Tammany ticket to givesr a place to minor officials who were left off Murphy's slate for vari- ous reasons. The investigation of the legislative committee, headed by Senator Schuy- Jer M. Meyer, into Mayor Hylan's administration, coming in the heat of the pre-primary campaign, has _ aroused intense interest. - The mayor. who appeared as the first witness at open hearings, gave what the com- mittee called evasive answers when questioned on the city’s finances. The committee sought generally to prove that the city had exceeded the debt limit prescribed by state law and that the executive’s administration was marked by incompetency. The mayor made categorical denials of the charges. The committee will probably con- tinue its open inquiry for several weeks.
