CITY MANAGER BAN TO BRING CANDIDATE RDSH Ewbank, Sullivan, Jewett Probable Lineup for Mayoralty Race. BY BEN STERN ‘IF was the big word today in >litical conversation on the eve of possible decision by the supreme i ourt on the constitutionality ol the city manager law. "U” the law is found unconstitu- : tonal, Indianapolis may have three mayoralty candidates in November. These arc: Reginald Sullivan, de(lared Democratic candidate and s ity manager election commissioner, Louis B. Ewbank, former supreme i ourt judge, who may be George V. Coffin s choice, and Charles Jewett, former mayor, as the anti-Coffin andidate. If" the law is upheld, the city manager ticket will be without opposition from the Democrats and probably face a strong Coffin slate. No Chance for Winkler It is practically certain that Coffin \> ill not put forward Sheriff George Winkler as the mayoralty candidate. Although Winkler’s name was placed at the head of the ticket ■ hen Democrats and Republicans filed slates in the spring in order to protect themselves if the city manager law should be “thumbed down.’’ Coffin probably used him as a stalking horse while he selected a stronger candidate. Ewbank is a logical choice, it is pointed out. The former supreme < ourt judge pleaded the statute of limitations for Coffin when he was ned with former Governor Ed Jackon and Robert I. Marsh for offering a bribe to former Governor Warren McCray. He presided over the city conven.on last May, when ouster attempts ere halted and Coffin again was t lected city chairman. Ewbank has ; ng associated with the ' boss.” Standing Excellent Coffin has promised he will nom■.ate a mayor “who will have an : ccllent standing in the commuity.” Ewbank is a logical choice. V. inkier is a good vote-getter, but he is tarred too heavily with the Coffin brush, it was said. Jewett protests that he will not be a candidate, and if the city manager law; is upheld he will work to elect a ticket which will assure the city “excellent government.” But if the law is thrown out. his dislike for Coffin and Coffin politics may prevail upon the former mayor to make the race. He is a strong candidate potentially because of his large anti-Coffin following. Sullivan will remain in the race, according to E. Kirk McKinney. Democratic city chairman.

Sees Chance to Win “If Coffin and Jewett oppose each, other, we will have an excellent opportunity to win,” McKinney said. ‘Although there is much pressure brought to bear upon me to name a city manager slate. I feel that if the Democrats do so, they will divide the vote so that a Coffin ticket will edge in,” he said. Coffin, it is said, has announced that he will not name a city manager slate, but will back any slate Republican business men put in the field. At the same time, there are percent rumors that Ira M. Holmes, attorney, long linked with Coffin. . considering filing for city commissioner.

NEW YORK AT POLLS AFTER BITTER BATTLE Start of Pr'nary Voting Is Marked by Many Factional Fights. - fi ii f h itt il Prt NEW YORK. Sept. 17.—Factional fights among both Democrats and Republicans gave promise of bit-terly-contested battles as voters went to the polls in today’s city primary elections. While the contest between Representative Fiorella H. La Guardia. regular Republican, and William M. Bennett, avowed dry. for the Rej publican nomination for mayor, interested New York as a whole, political excitement centered in Queens, where the fight for borough office nominations had reached i marked intensity. Bennett's prediction he would win by about 30.000 majority caused little concern in La Guardia’s ranks. Tht- congressman’s supporters went ahead with plans for the formal notification of the nomination as though he had won the primary. In Queens there are sixty Democratic and Republican candidates for twenty-four nominations. The five candidates for borough president are George U. Harvey, present incumbent, and former State Senator John L. Karle. Republican, and County Clerk Edward W. Cox, State Representative William F. Brunner and former borough PresiJ dent Bernard M. Patten, Democrats. M'NAB MAY GET JOB LEFT BY WILLEBRANDT

California Friend of Hoover May Be Dry Prosecutor. B’l Scriiflis-lfou-ard \rivspaprr Alliriuir WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—John L. McNab, San Francisco attorney, who nominated Herbert Hoover for the presidency at Kansas City, may be appointed assistant attorneygeneral to fill the post vacated by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. The department of justice, it has been learned, recently sent inquiries to a number of California judges as to McNab’s record in prohibition cases. If answers have been received, nothing has leaked out as to their nature. McNab has a large practice in San Francisco and occupies a prominent position there. In the past he has said he did not wish public office. He is, however, a close friend of President Hoover and might consent to take the difficult position if he were asked on personal grounds, it is believed.

WATERFRONT BLAZE TAKES $500,000 TOLL Fire Threatens Maine City for Five Hours; Nine Are Overcome. By United Press PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 17.—A $500,000 water front fire which for five hours threatened the business section of Portland, was under control early today, and city and state officials began an investigation to determine whether a careless smoker was responsible. Nine presons, including seven firemen, were overcome and thirtyeight crew members of the collier Plymouth of Boston jumped into the water to escape the flames. A pall of smoke hung over the city, and at times all of Portland was in darkness as power was cut off. Originating beneath the Portland Terminal Company’s wharf late Monday, the blaze scorched the Plymouth and the four-masted schooner Elizabeth Bandi, unloading coal and lumber, respectively. The Plymouth loss was set at $50,000, The fire spread to and destroyed several coal pockets of the Boston & Maine central railroad, containing 75,000 tons of coal. A sulphur warehouse, containing 23.000 tons of crude brimstone, was next to go, and the fumes from the sulphur drove firemen back. Blazing embers carried by a strong wind set fire to the roofs of houses tor more than a quarter mile from the docks, causing , considerable damage. Firemen from cities within a radius of thirty miles aided Portland’s department in. fighting the flames, which for a time threatened railroad freight sheds, containing many thousands of dollars in merchandise.
