Harry Westcott and Congress
man Donohoe Contend for
Mayoralty Nomination
21,000 VOTES REGISTERED
With interest centered on the fight for
the Republican mayoralty nomination
the contest in the Democratic ranks has
been ox'erlooked to a large extent by
the voters.
Harry D. Wescott. son of former
Judge Wescott, of New Jersey, and
former Congressman Michael Donohoe
. nre contenders for the honor of leading
' the Democratic ticket nt the November
election.
Westcott hns the backing of the lead
ers affiliated xvith the Democratic city
committee who ncktioxvledge the leader
ship of Charles P. Donnelly. Mr.
Donohoe is supported by the same, com
bination of leaders that supported
Municipal Judge Bonniwell in his suc
cessful campaign for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination last year.
Leaders afliiliated with the Demo

Westcott xvill be nominated.
I Friends of Judge Bonniwell take the
opposite viexv, but nre not making predictions-.
Approximately 21,000 Democratic
voters hnve been enrolled on the throe
registration days. A greater number of
Democrats arc said to have changed
their enrollment to Republican in order
to get in on the warm contest now rag
ing xvithin the majority party's ranks.
"The xoters enrolled ns Democrats
are real Democrats," said City Chair
man Edgar W. Lank today.
"They nre the Jncksonian brand who
stick to the party through thick and
thin."
Mr. Lank is understood to favor the
nomination of Mr. Wescott, but de
clines to committ himself because of his
.position as city chairman,
i "Any Democrat has the right to run
for office," is the xvny ho sums up the
situation. Former Public Service Com
missioner Michael J. Rynn is said to be
one of the strong men behind the at
tempt to nominate Mr. Donohoe.
