Malfeasance Charges Against New York’s Mayor
DISMISSED BY GOVERNOR ALBANY, N.Y., April 28. The Governor, Mr. Franklyn Roosevelt, dismissed the malfeasance charges against Mr. James Walker, Mayor of New York, stating in his memorandum that the charges were so general in character and referring so generally to the Mayor’s subordinates that the cause was insufficient for his removal. This is considered a notable victory for Tammany hall, which was seriously arousQd by the threat of the reform element to overthrow its regime in New York. Moreover, politically, no small significance is attached to the Governor’s action. Mr. Roosevelt is the most outstanding aspirant for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1932, and any alienation of Tammany would seriously affect his Presidential chances.
