A youngish straphanger rode into town in the subway today with a statement In his pocket that was expected to make the cauldron of New York politics boil over. Joseph V.

FIGHT COMPLICATED Feverish revisions of plans in the political camps started as Mc-Kee's announcement was momentarily expected. Up to now the prospect has been for a clear-cu knock-down-and-drag-out tussle between two foes. On one side was Tammany Hall, with John J. Curry as its leader and John H. McCooey, corpulent and potent boss of Brooklyn, chief among its allies.

Tammany's candidate is Mayor John P. O'Brien. On the other was "Fusion," foes of Tammany united for the fight. It includes Republicans, Inde pendent Democrats, like Seabury, ana omer elements, ms canuiuaic is Fiorello H. LaGuardia, political battler who won nation-wide no- tit as a Republican Congress- man.

Now McKee, interim Mayor after the resignation of James Walker, enters the picture, complicating it. He is a protege of Edward J. Flynn, Democratic leader of The Bronx and longtime rooter for Franklin D. Roosevelt, McKee quarreled with Tammany during his brief tenure.

NARCOTIC'S SEIZED A satchel full of narcotics and hypodermic syringes, two rifles and an automatic pistol were seized.

Two of the men taken in custody were said to be from the East, one from the Bronx, New York, and the other from Jersey City. Both gave the occupations as bookmakers. It was learned the Justice Department received a tip that a man named Brady, said to be companion of "Ice" Connors, former Stillwater convict, wanted fn connection with the Factor case, was at the rest curep lace. The raid came on this information; but Brady was not found. t'li-nrn I'Dtn Brady is believed to have been the man, who with Connors, escaped from a police and federal trap laid for him on the outskirts of Chicago recently.

Treasury officials who have been in clos touch with the gold and general monetary situation, however, had on their desks copies of the various gold regulations for study and there were several im-p conferences among higher officials of the department. Some persons familiar with the Situation expected Mr, Roosevelt to announce a monetary policy this week, COMMODITY DOLLAR' Some of his economic advisers have been studying the commodity, dollar plan, under which the monetary unit would have a constant purchasing power with its buying ability lowered by reducing the gold content or increased by adding to it.

Members of the Senate and House meantime discussed privately tentative pians for insisting upon inflation by Congress at the session opening in January if they consider it neces-ary. Senator McAdoo of California, war-time Secretary of the Treasury, was said in several sources to be ready to press for inflation when Congress reconvenes.

Secretary Hull disclosed today that the important war debt conversations to be opened next week with British representatives now on their way to this country will be handled by Dean Acheson, undersecretary of the Treasury, and Frederick Livesey, assistant economic advisor of the State Department. The Secretary of State said it had been unanimously agreed that the conversations be handled in this way when Sir Frederick Lcith-Ross, financial advisor to the British government, arrives to begin the talks.

He is accompanied by Sir Ronald Lindsay. British ambassador, and T. K. Bewley, financial expert. Secretary Hull also disclosed that the conversations would be held at the Treasury rather than the State Department.
