TAMIMANY SCURRIES 10 JOIN WKEE IN LEHMVAN'S DEFENSE Enemies Join Hands in Defense of Governor Against Seabury BOTH HIT LAGUARDIA ' ’ . Roosevelt’'s Friend Now ~ Central Figure in Bitter | Mayorality Fight . By FRANCIS A. JAMIESON . Associated Press Staff Writer NEW YOR—(AP) — Tammany Hall joined Joseph V. McKee, inde pendent mayoral candidate, Sat urday in scurrying to %he defense of quiet,, retiring Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, repeatedly attacked by Samuel Seabury, fusion strate gist. Hailing Seabury's criticisms of the record of Lehman, friend of President Rcosevelt, as a political blunder, forces behind Mayor John P. O'Brien, Tammany nominee, and McKee raced each other in attempts to capitalize on them. Gov. Lehman found himiself the central figure in the city's bhitter est mayoral campaign in years— with Tammany Hall, which fought unsuccessfully last year against the president and former Gov. Al fred E. Smith to block his nomin ation, joining in hig defense. . His voice shaking, Seabury had repeated his charge that Gov. Lehman had failed to act on dis closures of the legislative investi gation which ended in the resigna tion of Mayor James J. Walker. The fusion leader was counsel to the legislative committee, “The Demaeratic party resents exceedingly the attacks being made on Gov. Lehman, the regularly elected candidate of the Demoecra tic -party,” said former State Sen ator Abraham Kaplan, Tammany manager cos O'Brien’s campaign. Calling Seabury’s attacks on Gov.

With deep concern in his voice, Secretary Hull told correspondents the German action had dealt a staggering blow to. the whole movement for disarmament and that the United States was seri ously disappointed and deeply re gretful. . As to the dangers inherent in the determination of Germany to go it alone, neither the secretary nor his foremost advisors would unde&;take to predict in the ab sence thus far of complete official advices from Ambassador Dodd at Berlin concerning the import of the move. In Dangerous Direction Privately they agreed, however that the logic of events pointed in a dangerous direction, Germany apparently had left the arms conference and the league ‘because it was denied the right to ‘equip its army with types of air planes, light tanks and artillery asserted to be of a defensive char acter but withheld from Germany under the treaty that ended the World War, : Therefore, theie was seen al least a possibility that Germany. having now abandoned diplomatic methods, might go ahead and ac quire the weapons anyway. | If Germany should rearm in violation of the Versaills treaty. officials here believe the mos?} gerious consequences might “esult | particularly in view of the proxi mity of strong feeling of France on the subjeg{.

Prime Minister Ramsay McDonald, who was in close cpntact with Sir John Simon, the British foreign secretary, in Geneva, instructed the foreign office to pffer no of ficial comment. But Great Britain’s role in the crisis was said to be trying to pre ’venl hotheads from rocking-the bhoat, and Mr. MeDonald guarded againsy any possible mis-step ‘which might make more serious the KEuropean situatjon. Without disregarding existing responsibilities on the continent Great Brtain will take every.pre caution against new commitments it was said, With Mr. MacDonald tight-lip ped, the Britisi public turned to its unofficial leaders for their | views, David Lloyd George, the wartime premier, said he was “sorry, ‘but 'not surprised.” The situation is grave, he addzd but “the whole business has been hadly muddled from the beginning }hy the league, and Wwe ourselves tcannot escape blame.” STATESMEN ANXIOUS i F GENEVA—{#P)—Statesmen -gath ered here with the fundamental aim of consolidating peace asked themselves anxiously Saturday along whay road Germany’s with drawal from the League of Na tions and the Disarmament: confer ;ence would' lead them. : ’ Openly the words ‘“Let Germany go: we shall get along without ‘her” were heard, but secretly the ‘world leaders in Geneva were ser jously disturbed for the future. - Many e<xpressed profound dis may that Germany dropped from the arms conference, from which 'some quarters expressed. a hope for a solemn treaty to tighten fthe fabric of peace, restore world con fidence, and terminate a costly ar maments race.
