M'COOEY DEATH HARD BLOW TO TAMMANY HALL Veteran Democratic Boss of Brooklyn Leader in Tiger Fyces. Bv Uniif4 Prrn NEW YORK, Jan. 22—Funeral arrangements for John H McCooey, Democratic national committeeman, political boss of the populous borough of Brooklyn and faithful ally of Tammany Hall, were hardly made today before political were forecasting the beginning of the end for John F Curry. Tammany boss, and the relegation of the hall to the status of a district political organization. Mr. McCooey died yesterday of a heart attack. His long alliance with Tammany gave it a complete dominance over New York City and his continued loyalty, of which Mr. Curry felt assured, had been depended upon to enable Tammany to rebuild the city-wide power shattered last fall when Mayor John P. O'Brien was defeated by Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia. Mr. Curry now will find it nearly impossible to keep the entire Brooklyn organization from going over to the Democratic faction sponsored by Postmaster-General James A. Farley and Governor Herbert H. Lehman, it was believed. The Bronx borough organization already is allied with the Rooseveltian Democrats. Brooklyn's desertion would leave Tammany in possession only of its fast waning influence in Manhattan borough. Funeral services for Mr McCooey, an affable, benevolent politician of the old school, will be held Wednesday with a distinguished group of mourners, including Mr. Farley, present. Prominent New York Democrats, including Governor Lehman, will serve as honorary pallbearers. Mr. McCooey was 69 years old and had been undisputed Brooklyn boss for twenty-five years. He spent forty-two years in public office, but never held an elective office. Hq came of poor parents and began his career as a shipyard worker.
