O Brien Nominee for New York Mayor as Walker-Fate Change
John P. O'Brien was chosen as Democratic nominee for mayor of New York by Tammany Hall bosses after a packed Madison Square Garden convention. The move, aimed at saving Tammany leadership, led to James J. Walker being dropped from the ticket. Acting Mayor Joseph V. McKee may return to the aldermanic presidency in 1933. O'Brien’s nomination followed a legal roll call of 32 000 delegates from the five boroughs while many delegates waited unaware in the arena.
