Mayoralty candidate John A Coulthurst aims to add a non partisan and citizen endorsement to his Independence League nomination. He faces Mayor Fitzgerald a regular Democrat and Postmaster Hibbard a Republican and non partisan. He will launch his first major push late today with a sustained campaign until election day.
Postmaster Hibbard declined comment on campaign strategy while Edward G. Graves, president of the Republican city committee, said a separate campaign committee will be formed with prominent Boston figures. Mayor Fitzgerald plans a strong attack on Hibbard’s record and partisan ties, while Graves accuses Hibbard of posing as non-partisan to gain Democratic votes.
The executive committee will meet tonight at Barristers' Hall to decide endorsements for mayor. Hibbard supporters expect favor, Coulthurst backers call it impossible. Both sides say Mayor Fitzgerald will not be endorsed, and the mayor says no reason why either opponent should be.
Leaguers say Fitzgerral vote not counted across city and push for a Ward 6 recount. In two Ward 6 precincts the mayoral tally matched the total votes, an astonishing claim by Coulthurst men. Alfred Scigliano, brother of the late Rep George A Scigliano, petitions for the recount.
