THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, RACE INTENSIFIED AS WHALEN QUITS Mahoney, Bitter Foe of Tammany Leaders, to Push Fight. 8y the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 5—The fight between New Deal Democrats and anti-Roosevelt Tammany Hall for the mayoralty nomination Wwas more gharply defined today with the with- | drawal of Grover A, Whalen as s‘\ candidate. Other complications remained, how- | ever, to confuse New York's voting millions in the pre-primary cam»} paign. | Replacing Wha'en as the Demo- eratic bearer of the New Deal banner | was former Judge Jeremiah Tltusi Mahoney, president of the Ama(euri Athletic Union and bitter foe of the present leadership of Tammany Hall. Opposed to him for the Democratic nomination September 1€ was United States Senator Royal S. Copeland, Roosevelt critic, who is backed by | former Gov. Alfred E. Smith and | dominant Tammany chieftains. | Pitted against both Mahoney and | Copeland was astute little Fiorello La Guardia, indorsed by the American Labor party last night as “the greatest | Mayor the City of New York has ever | had.” Bitter Party Fight Looms. The withdrawal of Whalen, former police commissioner, promised a two- | fisted intraparty fight within Demo- | cratic ranks before the primary—with | the outspoken Judge Mahoney as the | spearhead of a drive to wrest control of Tammany from anti-New Deal forces. | Whalen gave the signal for the on- slaught in his withdrawal statement “Judge Mahoney is far better equipped than 1 to wage a fight | against the in ts which have su ceeded in securing temporary posses- sion of Tammany Hall and are striv- in, to dominate the Democratic or- ganizations in the other four boroughs (Tammany covers only Manhattan boroughs) and to secure control of the City of New York."” Mahoney Eald he would run as fan's man.’ “Our party organization for :ome time has been conducted and man- aged in the selfish interest and for xhe profit of a selected few,” he said. *“That is not my idea of organiza- tion.” | May Consolidate Strength. | Political observers believed that Ma- | perhaps not so well to most voters, had | the Demo- self. In addi- tion to the “reform” elements within Tammany, he was supported by Dem- ocratic leaders of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens. A one-time holder of the all-around ama athletic - pionship, the 62 ld former State | Supreme Court justice still swings a good squash rac | A crusader f racial equali “no or reforms and n his career as a teacher a ter switched to law. He has held many public positions He resigned from the State St Court in 1928 to return to private practice In 1935 he unsuccessfully opposed America’s entrance into the 1936 | Olympics at Berlin on the grounds that the Nazi government had dis- | criminated against Jewish athletcs. Mahoney was viewed by close ob- gervers as a formidable contencer for | the liberal vote hitherto conceded to La Guardia 15 SHOWS, CONTESTS PLANNED FOR YOUNG Playgrounds’ Schedule Is Heavy Today and Tomorrow—D.

PROBE IS BEGUN OF PLANE TRAGEDY Three-Man Board Begins Investigation of Crash Near Colon. By the Associated Press. A three-man board of inquiry undertook today to find what caused the destruction of the Pan-Amer- ican-Grace airliner which plum- THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1937. meted into the sea off Panama. ‘The crash on Monday night appar- ently killed 14 persons. The board is composed of Chair- man Miller C. Foster, assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Commerce; E. L. Yuravich, chief of foreign air- line inspection, and Roy Keeley, air- line inspector. Meager evidence gieaned from bits of wreckage pointed to the belief the occupants of the plane had little or no warning. Rubber Life Raft Found. Submarines found an uninflated rubber life raft and two life preservers still in their cases. The plane apparently crashed into the sea at high speed, in the opinion of the Canal Zone's naval comman- dant. He informed superiors his ex- cated the impact was so great that it broke the plane into small pieces. His report spoke of the probability of an explosion on the 15-passenger luxury ship. Rescue crews expressed the belief the cabin of the plane sank in 1,000 feet of water. Naval vessels, however, continued their search for bodies or possible survivors. The victims, who were nearing Cris- tobal after a flight from Ecuador, in- cluded two children and two Depart- ment of Commerce officials. SIX REPORTED SAFE. Officer and Five Men ‘“Bail Out” in Panama Mountains, PANAMA, Panama, August 5 (). — A United States 4rmy Air Force offi- cer and five enlisted men, who were amination of parts of wreckage indi- sald to have “bailed out” of a dis- abled plane on a trial flight over deso- late mountain territory of Western Panama, were reported sa’e today.

The Ballanca was ac- companied by a pursuit ship piloted by a Lieut. Long. The two planes encountered a storm in the vicinity of Rio Hato and climbed above the clouds to evade it. ‘When Long brought the pursuit ship back down he could not see the larger | | ship and tried in vain to communi- | cate with it by wireless. He returned to his base and reported | the diwsappearance. Army officials then were inclined to believe Scho- fleld had brought his ship down at an emergency landing field and was out of reach of telephone or telegraph. An aerial search was started and searchers reported sighting the ship | Wrecked on a mountainside. Other reports were that the six men had escaped by parachute.
