...judicial deal whereby Tammany endorsed its inquisitor. Republican State Senator Samuel Hofstadter, for the Supreme Court bench began to bear fruit for the Democrats last week. Republican State Chairman Kingsland Macy, shocked and resentful, denounced the deal as "an unspeakable idea." The Association of the Bar of the City of New York, led by George Woodward Wickersham, flayed Senator Hofstadter as "unfit to hold judicial office" and got busy trying to frame an independent ticket. One item of the deal was that city Republicans were not to fuse with independent Democrats to beat Tammany but were to nominate a flabby...
Before the Seabury committee one day last week appeared 67-year-old Boss McCooey, State Republican Leader William Kingsland Macy and Mr. Steinbrink.

On the same day that his vituperative retort to the Wise-Holmes complaint reached the Governor, the sensitive Mayor flayed his Republican adversaries...
...fifth such legislative inquiry to be authorized since 1890, and the passage of the resolution marked the end of a political duel between William Kingsland Macy, G. O. P. State Chairman, and William L. Ward, longtime boss of Westchester County's Republicanism. For months Mr. Ward & henchmen had balked the inquiry, presumably because of a neighborly feeling for New York City's Democracy. Mr. Ward's capitulation, apparently under pressure from Washington, makes Mr. Macy undisputed G. O. P. chieftain in New York State...
