Fusion politics redefined by Mayor Gaynor’s death
Amid Gaynor’s death the fusion groups debate successors while McCall represents Tammany and Mitchel leads anti Tammany forces. Leaders like Schift Ridder and Cantor weigh substitutes such as McAneny Willcox and Ridder as Loyalists back Mitchel and a possible third ticket to split votes. On the Republican side Mitchel appears favored with no primary opposition as Lake Placid figures push for a Gaynor backed candidate.
