He was very much liked. He had a very broad circulation. He knew all kinds of people. He circulated all the time. He was a very cultivated man. He was very much overshadowed by Mrs. Moskowitz and then he became ill. He had heart trouble very early in life and it handicapped him. But he was a very cultivated man. He had taken his doctor's degree at the University of Santander in Spain. He had that kind of European education, although he was American born and American educated generally.

I think he came around to the idea that it ought to be Mitchel.

I think McAneny was always considerably hurt that he was not selected as the candidate. In many ways, as one looks back on it, one sees that he would have been a better and more stable mayor and perhaps would have lasted longer than Mitchel did politically, because he would not have had this hearbreaking row with the Democratic party and the Roman Church. Mitchel could have avoided that row. At least I think he could have. I don't know and it's hard to say now. But I thought at the time that he could have avoided it.
