Medtord (Continued trom r On.) mediately from Tammany - membera on what effect Pooling's death would have on the approaching mayoralty campaign. Doollng came Into his leadership several years ago as victor In an in ternal fight at one of Tammany's lowest periods as far aa political pres tige goes. Tammany had been lip ped apart by the sensational disclo sures of the Seabury Investigation, folldowed by its political defeat by Mayor La Ouardia. Survived Ouster On top of that, Tammany found itself in extreme disfavor with the national Democratic administration, and pro-new dealers within Tart- many, alarmed by loss of xederaj patronage tried unsuccessfully to oust Doollng months ago. He sur vlved. but after the bitter fight, bad a severe stroke, his second bad one, His friends, and some of his physi cians, urged him. to retire. So did his political enemies. But, Doollng decided to carry on. Things came to a climax politically during the last fortnight. Leaders of the other four county Democratic organizations of the city (Tammany covers only the county of New York, or Manhattan) tried their best to get Doollng to agree to a pro-new deal candidate. When he refused, they picked Grover A. Whalen, world's fair commission head. Doollng then, with the advice and counsel of former Governor Alfred E. Smith, another new deal foe, picked Senator Copeland as his favorite. Split Developed A three way split developed. Jimmy Hines, powerful Harlem district lead er of Tammy, friend of the new deal, started a pro-Whalen revolt In Tam many Hall. . Al Marinelli, another district leader, from the lower east side, backed Borough President Sam uel Levy of Manhattan. . Political prophets generally predicted that Whalen would be selected as Tam many's candidate and that Doollng then would resign. Doollng surprised them all by ob taining support of Marinelli, whose backing, with those district leaders loyal to Doollng, was enough to de feat the Whalen forces In the Tam many showdown. Political observers said Doollng and Smith selected Copeland, who they said was especially attractive to con servative Republicans as an anti-new deal coalition candidate. The suc cess of their strategy showed Itself last week, when Kenneth Simpson, Manhattan organization Republican leader, announced the head of his slate waa left open, presumably for Copeland. although be had picked two of La Guardla's chief allies as running mates for city-wide offices. This action aroused La Guardla, and caused a split In the hitherto solid city fusion party, chief bulwark of La Guardla'a support. La Guardla's closest advisers now are reported urging him to Ignore any possible help from the Republi can organization and make his run for re-election as an Independent. ; Fargo 62 Years Old BISMARCK.
