NEW YORK ELECTION
BITTER CAMPAIGN BOXERS AS “SHOCK TROOPS” NEW YORK, Oct. 8. In anticipation of any attempt on the part of the partisans of Tammany to intimidate would-be voters for the Fusion Party at the New York election in November the Fusionists are recruiting a body of 2000 “shock troops” froth among professional and amateur boxers and university football players and oarsmen to act as watchers at the polls. This year’s campaign of the Mayoralty and other municipal offices is particularly bitter because of a split in the Democratic ranks which has brought Mr Joseph McKee, with the moral backing ot the Federal Administration, into competition with the present Mayor, Mr O’Brien, the “regular” Tammany candidate; and because Mr McKee’s advent into the struggle has drawn strength from the Fusionists, who have put up Mr Fiorello Laguardia, nominally a Republican, for Mayor.
