CURRAN T0 OPPOS | IYLANFORHAYR Wins New York Republican Nomination — Attempt to - Buck Tammany Disastrous. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, September,14.—Henry H. Curran, coalitionist-republican, now president of the borough of Man- hattan, will be Mayor John F. Hylan's opponent at the polls in November. Curran won the republican nomina- tion4n the primary yesterday, polling 31,084 more votes than the combined voges of his three rivals. His total Vvote was 103,174, while F, H. La Guardia, president of the board of aldermen, his nearest opponent, polled 37,880. Judge Reuben L. Haskell, who \ advocated a referendum on prohibi- tion, got 29,468, and former State Sen- ator gflllhm Bennett was last with 4,742, ‘While fhe republican campaign pro- duced some verbal thrills, it remained for the democrats to furnish the real excitement of primary day. James J. Hines went to the polls as & candldate for the democratic nom- inatiog, for president of the borough of Manhattan for the avowed purpose of toppling Charles F. Murphy from his pinnacle of Tammany leadership, ‘This he hoped to do by defeating Mur- Phy’s candidate, Julius Miller. - When the fray was over Hines found himself trailing far behind Miller, while Hines’ campaign man- ager, Joseph Shalleck, was nursing the results of a more literal drubbing, consisting of concussion of the brain, two broken ribs, a broken arm and scalp abrasions that necessitated, the taking of forty stitches. His wounds, Shalleck charged, were administered by a group of men in an election ‘booth in Murphy's home district. Shal- leck charged that one policeman and several detectives of the city force participated in the assault. The attack on Shalleck was follow- ed closely by an attempt of armed men in automobiles to kidnap the bal- Jot boxes from the same booth in which he had been beaten. * _The democratic primaries also pro- duced a shooting in Queens borough.

Curran's sweeping vic- tory over the other. aspirants for nomination as the republican candi- |5 date for mayor of New York is classed as having furnished ground for encouragement to the fusion movement against the Tammany candidate, Mayor Hylan. An addi- tional element of hope is supplied, it is held, by the fact that the primary contest among the candi- dates for the mayoralty nomination was without especial feature of bitterness and should leave no irreconcilable differences. ‘The next move of the leaders work- ing for Tammany's defeat will be, it is said, to appeal to all the ant Tammany sentiment to consolidate in massed force back of the republican candidate for mayor and to throw their hearts and best energies into the campaign. _ Cool-headed politi- cians in New York do not under- estimate the magnitude of the fight that is ahead of them nor the diffi- culty of ousting a well intrenched opponent who has the offices and to a large extent the machinery of elections at his command. - No Trading of Ofices.

From this number Gen. John J. Pershing may choose the Ameri- can unknown soldier to take back .to the United States on board the cruiser Olympia for burial in his native soil. Most of the Ameri- can unknown dead were killed in the Argonne drive and buried in the Romagne cemetery, although a few of them lie at Bony and in the Belleau Wood. . The graves registration bu- reau in Paris has not been in- formed just how Gen. Pershing in- tends to proceed in choosing the body, but although Gen. Pershing will visit the American cemeteries in France the expectation is that the body of the unknown soldier will be taken from the Romagne burial ground. It is thought that the grave from which the body will be disinterred will be ‘ed by ono of the forty-eight private soldiers represénting -each state of the American, Unfon, who will accom- pany Gen.

So far the government has taken few steps to counteract the ‘evil in- fluence wielded by the monarchists. How lenient the authorities have treated those cobnnected with the Kapp-Luttwitz revolution may be judged from the fact that they have turned over to Dr. Kapp's son the estate belonging to the plotter.
