AtttKk Anti-Tammany Man For Al¬ leged "Deaiing" in Nominations for Supervisor and Other Offences
The charges against Henry P. Keith, Democratic Leader of Nassau Coimty, who was recently nominated by Pres¬ ident Wilson as Internal Revenue Col¬ lector for the Firs*. New York District which includes Brooklyn and Long Is¬ land, and whose name is at present t>efore the Senate for confirmation, will be presented by representatives of the Nassau politician to the Feder¬ al poat, and according to members of the association are serious enough to prevent him from being seated.
The Nassau County Association in¬ cludes In Its membership peraaps the wcaltblest and most Influential resi¬ denta of the couuty. Among tbem are Mrs. August Belmont, Mrs. Theo- odore Roosevelt, jr., Frank N. Dou¬ bleday, Mrs. Dorothy W. Straight, a aleter of Harry Payne Whitney, and Clarence IL Mackay, all of whom arc lietaiiid the movement to prevent the appointment
Keith was recommended for the ap¬ pointment by Congressman l.Athrop Brown. His nomination, sent to the Seuate last week, was hailed as a di¬ rect blow -at the Tammany organiza¬ tion. Inasmuch as Keith baa been per- •isteat In his opposition to Charles F. Mnrpby for several years. There were a^urmurs of a fight on the nomination idaost aa soon as It was annoimced, but it was not imtll yesterday that the source of the opposition develop¬ ed.
Thie came from Frank L. Crocker, a prominent member of the Associa¬ tion, that tbe organization had'drawn up a formal protest against Keith's apoplntment, and would send it direct to President Wilson.
Coming as it does from an organiza¬ tion representing the wealth and in¬ fluence of the Nassau County, thc pro¬ test Is expected to carry weight at the White House and Is likely to re¬ ault In the withdrawal of Kith's name by President WUson. This is thj avowed object of the association. If tbla is unsuccessful the fight wUl hc- carrled Into the Senate committee, wtaiflh now bis tbe appointment under advisement, and If no results are ob¬ tained tbere an open attack upon Keith is expected in the Senate when the name comes up for final confirma¬ tion.
According to the announcement Keith is charged witb nearly every po¬ litical and ethical crme that has ever ^en committed by a figure in politico. He is attacked for his personal avtivi- tiea In polltioal campaigns and from tbe standpoint of his affiliations.
It Is because of his alleged "deal¬ ing" In connection with certain nom¬ inations for Supervisor of the town of HempeteadI that tbe association is prMsIng the charges. The protest, Iiowever, includes other attacks cou- cemlsg which the members would not talk yesterday or last nlgbt.
The tomml protest, according to lir. Crocker, will be In tbe hands of tbe Prealdent this afternoon accom¬ panied by personal letters to the exec- utlra from those prominent in the as- soolatton's affairs. Tb Nassau County AMOciatlon was organized in 1913 and has aa its primal object the advance¬ ment of civic and charitable work :n the county. This is the first instance in which It has appeared as a poten¬ tial factor in politics.
Among tbose who have interested tiHUnselTes In tbe flght against Keith are Mrs. Mary Harriman Rumsey, J. ScrgMOt Cram, Jobn A. Albertson, Jull«& A. Ripley. Elliabetb H. Mortl- awr, Harry I. Nichols, Joseph P. Grace Dr. C. B. Davenport, Mrs. Jbhn T. Pbatt, Mias Mary Malcolm and the Rev. Richard D. Dope.
