Shepard, Democratic nomi- hee for Mayor, decitned to-day to dis- cuss, except in an incidental way, the letter of W. Bourke Cockran, declaring he would support him for Mayor. The significant fact that Mr. Cockran asserted In his letter that he intended to support him for Mayor because Mr. Shepard had dened the Chief of Tam- many Hall in his own wlgwam, may have had something to do with his refusal to discuss it, When Mr, Shepard, looking brown and ruddy from his outing at Lake George, entered his headquarters in Brooklyn, he was questioned about the Cockran 1 It seems to me,” he sald, “that this letter verges upon politics. It bears upen the mayoralty, and that ls a political problem. It Is not a partisan problem, but all government, whether on a large or small scale, involves politics, though frequently not partisan politics, “As for the letter, It sacems to me hat it speaks for itself.” Mr. Shepard laughed when. questions Were asked about his health. “I am here, an object lesson,” he sald. “It Is for you to determine whether I am in aentle decay or not.
