Picks Sheridan Queens Leader Continued From Page 1 nized leader of the Democracy of Queens County. I am convinced that he will have the support of the majority of the members of the executive committee.

"He is an intelligent young man, a native of Queens, and has been active in party affairs for many years. He bears an excellent reputation and has in the past given evidence of his independence and his desire to advance the interest of good government in his borough. "I will do everything I possibly can to assist him and I would urge all Democrats in Queens County to give him their loyal support to the end that he may bring the Democratic organization there to the highest state of efficiency, aid in bringing about complete harmony, and, above everything else, promote good government in his borough and in the city and State." Sheridan, a former chairman of the Democratic Speakers Bureau, broke with Theofel last Fall to back the Recovery party and Joseph V. McKee. He is a relative of Thomas I.

Sheridan, anti-Tammany Democrat in Manhattan, whom John F. Curry refused renomination to the Senate in 1932 because Sheridan tired of showing up at the clubhouse nights and listening to the tales of woe of the faithfu. Sheridan is a real estate man and auctioneer. He lives at 2883 33d. Astoria.

Sheridan Statement Sheridan last night issued the following statement: "The new Democracy of Queens, as I vision it, demands devotion to the public welfare. "Broadly speaking, it shall by my purpose to furnish the Democrats of Queens County with an opportunity to rebuild their party organization in harmony with the courageous statesmanship of the Prestdent and the enlightened political leadership of National Chairman Farley. To this end I shall endeavor to harmonize the various factions of Democrats, the in Queens. co-operation of all Democrats, our organization in Queens can be reunited and reinploy my faculties and devote my vigorated. For my part I shall em- energies in full co-operation towards solidifying a Democratic organization that will be responsive to the sentiments of enrolled Democrats and sensitive to the interests and aims of the taxpayers and general public.

"Finally, it shall be my undeviating policy to make the new Democracy of Queens strickly autonomous, and to keep it free of entangling alliances." Theofel's power first began to wane Samuel Seabury and the Hofstadter" Committee turned their fire on him. The boss testified, among other things, that somebody told him to "take $1,000 for yoursef, John," out of the campaign funds. Doomed by Split At the national convention in Chicago, he followed Curry and McCooey and made the mistake of opposing the nomination of President Roosevelt. Queens Democrats, alhungry for primary fights, split into factions and Theofel became a doomed man. Heffernan jumped into the lead in Brooklyn yesterday when the famous Peter McGuinness, the boss of Greenpoint, called on Farley at the Biltmore and emerged with news that Farley would okay the leader of the 12th A.

D. "When I saw Farley," explained McGuinness, "I said, 'I'm here to fix up this situation. Things are going bad over in Brooklyn and if we keep it up, we'll be sitting in the park without any trees to keep the sun off our "I said, 'Jim. I'm here to say a be good word for Jim Heffernan. the best man for the And He'd Jim.

said, he's a fine fellow and he'd be ideal, but I'm not going to dictate a leader for Brooklyn. That's up to you boys! "After what Jim Farley said, it is a cinch that leaders will all flock to Jim Heffernan. He will win in a walk." McGuinness said that he had lined up approximately a quarter of the votes of the executive committe behind Heffernan and that the rest would jump on the bandwagon. In addition to himself, Heffernan, and his brother, William, McGuinness said the following leaders and their co-leaders are with the younger of the Heffernan brothers: Lentol, James A. Bell, 1st A.

Joseph 14th A. Michael J. Reilly, 8th A. and John Gerkin, 6th A. D.

"We've formed a little bloc," said McGuinness. "We are the leaders without jobs or pensions. We're absolutely independent." be Kelly, ill at his home with a cold, declined to comment on the reported approval of Heffernan by Farley. His followers, however, were admitting freely that they supporting a lost cause in backing Kelly, whom Farley has turned down. The Recovery Party leaders, all five of them, including Sinnott, bound to accept any solution of the are problem that has the approval of Farley.

Deputy Register Thomas F. Wogan of a Bay Ridge is due to have another conference with Farley today. He will submit to him a list of possible compromise candidates, all but in view of Farley's reported attitude his visit is likely to be a futile one except as it concerns Heffernan, who is on the list. a Three of those on the list are believed to be sure to be rejected at by Farley. They are Representative Thomas H.

Cullen, who is the whip of the city Tammany delegation in Congress; James J. Sexton, who has always been regarded as one of the Tammany links to the old Brooklyn machine, and Peter A. Carey, one of McCooey's stalwarts who was never popular with his associates on the executive committee. The leadership fight in the 18th A. McCooey's home district, developed a statment last night from Deputy Commissioner William Lane just in which he indorsed Minority Leader Irwin Steingut of the Assembly for the place.

Steingut is My believed to be a sure skot for the place. GOING, GOING, GONE UNDER ICE Making its last gasp while sinking in the East River 50 feet off the foot of Atlantic Ave. is the tugbat, Captain Mathiasen. Trouble started when a condenser head blew off in boiler room. The crew got off safely.

Fred E. Sterling Rockford, Feb. 10 (AP)-Fred Sterling, 64, former Lieutenant Governor of Illinois, died today, His death ended a dual career that had first brought him to the front rank of newspaper publishers in Illinois and then led up through the political ranks to the Lieutenant Governorship. Mrs. Sterling, their son, Arthur, and a daughter, Olive, survive.

Mayor Favors Candidacy Ban Continued from Page 1 a strong following to assure its ratification, the Mayor said. "Any charter that is the product of a commission handpicked by petty politicians would be rejected by the people of the city and I have no confidence in the people who sponsor any such commission," the Mayor continued. 'Just Process Servers' selfish interests." Sad But True "The sad part of that is that it is He declared for the abolition of all county offices, branding the sheriffs, just "process servers" and county clerks "glorified filing He attacked their retinues of deputies, livered chauffeurs and secretaries and scoffed at the divisions of the offices to make room for more politicians as commissioners of records. "The Bronx was made a county just to make more jobs," he declared. It was the bitter fight of the old City of Brooklyn and of the towns and villages in Queens that delayed consolidation for many years, the Mayor said, citing this as typical of the opposition he knows the proposed charter revision will face.

Centralized Public Works After depicting the difficulties that would be encountered in repaving Manhattan's streets from the Battery to the Brooklyn Bridge, the Mayor said he was for one public works department for the entire city instead of letting various departments handle whatever work has to be done in territory under their jurisdiction. Mayor LaGuardia agreed with the previous statement of Professor McBain that the men administering the charter were more important than the instrument itself because, he added, "There are two things you can't legislate-one is honesty and the other is intelligence. I learned the first in the Board of Aldermen and the other down in Congress." Reiterates Pledge The Mayor reiterated his campaign pledge that, he sought to run the city on a "non-partisan, nonpolitical" basis, but applause that greeted this was halted when he warned: "Before you applaud let's see how this one's going to work. quite understand the opthat meets the efforts to eliminate waste. duplication and squandering of city funds.

It would expecting too much of human nature if we believe that the proposed plan would be supported or not resisted by the beneficiaries of the present way. New York City has arrived at a time when it cannot afford to have bad government." He credited the depression with making his campaign last year effective and pointed out that he had raised the same issues in his unsuccessful 1929 campaign. Nothing Difficult "There is nothing difficult about charter he said. "A group of "men and women putting politics aside could sit down and draw a charter in a few hours." The speaker pointed out that the revision was sure to be proposed by number of political groups opposed to certain provisions aimed them. Hie cited the opinion of a "certain very prominent political leader not of my school" that despite all the worth of revised charter "in his borough could defeat it by simply appealing to true." he commented.

"There isn't a politician in this town who is talking to me any more," the Mayor said. "The poltticians are not satisfied if you are just nice and cordial to them. A politician never goesto a public official for anything that is proper. My 14 years in Congress taught me that by watching my colleagues. They didn't come to.
