to the jam, which was terrible, and so leaving her with somebody whom I knew there - perhaps Mrs. Wallace even.

I went out in the big hill. There were plenty of New York people there and plenty of them glad to see me and glad to be recognized. There were political people there primarily. I can't recall too well what other New Yorkers, besides the thirty from the Department of Labor, had come down. George Van Schaick probably came down, but that would be an act of friendship. It wouldn't be as a regular Tammany Hall politician, who are the ones that I can't seem to remember. Of course, Basil O'Connor was there, but that was a personal act of friend ship. He wouldn't be coming to represent Tammany Hall.

However, I think there were a lot of Tammany Hall People there. Even though Jimmy Walker had just been ousted by Roosevelt, that wouldn't have made much difference to the Tammany Hall people. After all, they were the regular Democratic organization of Manhattan and some of them came. I'm not sure whether John Curry was the leader then or not, or whether it had passed to George Olvaney. There were a number of Tammany Hall people there, however. I know that, because I knew them. I was one of the few people there who knew them and knew them well. Some of them I had known and served with a long time.
