Yet not one of these leaders has had the temerity to make a single public move to check the Burlingame drive.

And the friends of the Mayor are asking: Why? But there is no answer. Kracke. although to close friends he has expressed strong friendship for Mitehel and laid his political course in. all other matters in lanes which made him appear as an advocate of the Mayor's re-nomination, declines to state publicly an opinion of Burlingame's activities.

The situation is puzzling the most acute political sharps in the Republican ranks.

From all outward appearances, Kracke, Swasey and Voorhies have every reason to be boosting Mitehel and the present fusion Board of Estimate for re-nomination. Kracke is the Mayor's Commissioner of Plant and Structure at a salary of 17,500 a year. Swasey gets $5,000 a year as Superintendent of l'ublic Buildings and Ofllces in Brooklyn. Voorhies, as Commissioner of l'ublic Works in Brooklyn, draws $6,000 a year. Yet not one has even expressed publicly any dissatisfaction with Burlingame's continual warfare on the Mayor.

Together the three constitute a trio A most important movement toward church unity, and one which looks more like the consolidation of religious ally, Swasey says notning inu appears to be friendly with the six-foot Senator.

The plan calls for removal of the large building by the water front on the Hudson avenue side of the Yard occupied as the depot of provisions and clothing, the clothing factory and chemical laboratory buildings, and old No. 1, formerly the office of the commandant, now occupied as temporary quarters of the Naval Reserve.

The Senator has made the West Side contracts the chief vehicle of attack.

Following the Hearst attack upon Mitehel and the West Side situation, Burlingame introduced a resolution to probe the matter, and, whll the resolution was slumbering in committee, the Brooklyn Senator used It freely as the basis for verbal attacks upon Mitehel from every angle.
