JIMMY WALKER SEES DOOM APPROACHING; REMOVAL BY ROOSEVELT DEEMED SURE New York Mayor Reported as Resigned to Fate; Former Adherents Turn Against Fallen Idol. FACES ALBANY HEARING THURSDAY Damaging Evidence Will Be Presented to Prove Charges That Executive Is Incompetent, Dishonest. BY CARL RANDAU Time* Staff Writer NEW WORK, Auk. 9- — When Mayor James J. Walker faces Governor Franklin I). Roosevelt in the executive chamber at Albany Thursday to answer the charges that he is incompetent and dishonest, a dramatic climax will come to a situation that has been gaining speed and suspense for a year and a half. Dissimilar in background, in outlook and personality, the two executives never have had much in common except that they were members of the same party—a party overwhelmingly in control or New York City and more than able to hold its own in the state. Had not outsiders brought the issue to a head-first the Republican legislature and then Samuel Seabury, independent Democrat—the two might have gone through their official careers without a serious clash, despite their conflicting philosophies. Rut powers beyond their

control moved inevitably toward the present climax, and when the two meet it will be as avowed and bitter enemies. The Governor will have it in his power to put an end to the mayor’s political career—the only career he has known since he became a Tammany favorite while still in his 20s. That the mayor is in imminent danger of removal is indicated by all the circumstances. Evidence Piles Up Had the Governor intended to dismiss the charges filed against him by Sea bury, by James E. Fincgan, an independent Democrat, and by William J. SchiefTelin, representing a citizens’ group calling themselves the Committee of One Thousand. he would not have needed to call a public hearing. More than a year ago, before the Hofstadter committee began its work of piling up evidence against the mayor, the Governor curtly dismissed charges filed by a citizens’ group. But when, earlier this year, charges were filed against Sheriff Thomas M. Farley, the Governor called Farley before him for a twoday public hearing, and summarily ousted him. If Walker's fate is to be like Farley's, he will gain the distinction of being the first mayor of New York t- be removed by a Governor. New York, unlike most states, vests in the Governor the right to remove many elective county and city officials. Only Farley Ousted This power has been used sparingly. Most Governors have completed their terms without removal of any officer. In Roosevelt’s term, only Farley has fallen before him. The Walker-Roosevelt controversy has become involved inextricably in the national political situation. It was said it was because he did not wish local affairs to interfere with his national ambitions, the Governor showed irritation as Seabury drove deeper and deeper in the New York municipal situation. But Roosevelt has the reputation for being a lucky politician. Whereas it was believed widely only a few weeks ago that it would be suicidal for him to remove the mayor and thus sacrifice New York City's needed Democratic votes in the presidential election, it no longer is felt that his action in the mayor’s case will injure him. The mayor has lost standing at unbelievable speed recently. Property owners have tired of him because of the immense budget and the high tax rates. City Employes Angered Then, the mayor brought on himself the anger of the city's 130.000 employes when he proposed they "voluntarily” take a month's pay cut. Though termed a “voluntary” pay cut, the employes were informed that those who voted against it would have their names on file. This was counted on to intimidate them. Surprisingly enough, it did not do so in those departments where the employes had courageous organizations, and with defeat of the plan the mayor has lost caste. The New York populace, like any other, loves a winner. It quickly turns on a loser, and that is apparently to be its reaction to the mayor. As for the rest of the country, t-heie is no indication that it cares what happens in New York. The mayor himself is reported to be reconciled to his removal. He is said to consider himself the victim of circumstances, and to be viewing his eclipse with what philosophy he can muster. Seabury Assembles Evidence The charges he will face at Albany arise largely from Seabury’s painstaking investigation. Supplementing the Seabury findings are i he accusations of Finegan, who has urged the mayor's removal on grounds that while he has not been able to disprove charges of corruption, he, even more seriously, for the public welfare, has been guilty of misfeasance and nonfeasance. One of the principal matters expected to come up Thursday is the disappearance of Russell T. Sherwood. the mayor's missing accountant, and popularly referred to as his “bag man." Walker flatly has insisted that Sherwood, who banked more than $700,000, was not his agent, but Seabury has submitted wliat he considers conclusive proof that money from the Sherwood accounts was used by the mayor for his own uses and fer the uses of his family and lor purchases for an “unnamed friend." Other matters will include his gift

of $246,000 from Paul Block, the publisher; his part in attempting to give the Equitable Coach Company a bus franchise; his close association with Senator John A. Hastings, • political contact man" for the bus company, and his acceptance of $26,000 from a brokerage firm interested in floating taxicab securities.

Young Georgia Governor Leads Senator Race

families Representative Charles R. Crisp, acting chairman of the house ways and means committee. The primary is Sept. 14.

tern, disqualified himself to hear the case, as he was a witness to the events leading to Wiggins’ arrest in the 200 block North Illinois street Saturday night. When the ease was called Monday in Bodners court, he expressed surprise that the arresting officer, patrolman Thomas McCormick. had filed only a vagrancy charge. "Where are the other affidavits?" Bodner asked the officer. McCormick explained there was only one. "Get the proper affidavits." Bodner ordered and the other two charges were filed. Bodner said Wiggins, after getting his automobile away from a curb, drove against another car. McCormick took the pugilist from the car and walked him to a call box. Wiggins, according to Botinpr. was so drunk that he had to be supported by McCormick. Canada produces 88 per cent of ] the world's supply of asbestos.
