Dr. Ross also said of the amphibious withdrawal that, "while the Battle of Brook-lyn was a defeat, the retreat was a masterly movement, and a triumph." Writing a little later than Dr. Ross, Stephen M. Ostrander, a well known historian too, referred to the "Battle of Brooklyn" on Page 262, Chapter 8, Volume 1 of his historical works on this area.

The flood of statements admittedly aided and abetted by City Hall reporters' probing questions has kept newspapermen so busy at the "Hall" that some of them complain they find themselves eating lunch and dinner an hour or two apart. So far, Halley has, in the opinion of most observer, managed to keep Impellitteri on the defensive and, like many other municipal Democrats, a trifle "edgy." It should be remembered that Halley asserts he is a Democrat that, as a matter of fact, he registered as a member of that party. The difference, however, is that Impellitteri and the "regular" Democrats clasped one another to their bosoms the day after election. Halley, so far, has maintained his "independence." Halley, who broadly hints every time he gets the opportunity that he is a candidate to succeed Impellitteri in 1933, considers himself a member of the "minority of two" In the municipal government. He intimates that he expects the support of Council Minority Leader Stanley M.
