I Governor Declines Dinner Invitation Of Citizens Union Task of Moving Family! From Albany Prevents Ac? ceptance, Despite Promise of No Mayoralty Boom Governor Alfred E. Smith will be : unable to attend the annual dinner of '?hi Citizens' Union, to be held at the ! Hotel Astor, Saturday nicht, according ' to a letter sent to Colonel William Jay ! Schieffelin, which was made public yes? terday. The Governor said that he was forced ?to decline the invitation of the Citizens' : Union because of pressing duties in connection with the moving of his ; family from Albany to Xew York be ; fore Christmas. "I have decline?! so | many that I cannot play favorites," I he said. I In his letter extending an invitation to Governor Smith, Colonel Schieffelin, as chairman of the Citizens' Union, as? sured the Governor that the Citizens' Union would not acclaim him as fhe next Mayor of New York City rather than as a good Governor. Colonel Schieffelin's letter read in i part: i "Your friends are quoted in the j newspapers as saying that you would be happier in the United States Senate i than in the City Hall, and I believe i that that is true, so if you can attend i our lunch you need not fear that Citi ! zens' Union will acclaim you as our I next Mayor rather than as our good ! Governor. I know that a jrood many i think that your nomination as Mayor I would be the best thing that c??uld hap | pen to the city, because it would re j quire the nomination of a first class man by the Republicans, so that who | ever would be elected would be a great improvement; but, as I said, if you will be our guest neither you nor the Union will be committed to anything, because others are to b?r? there who are also prominently mentioned for the Mayor? alty. We wish co welcotno you as one whose record in the Legislature, in the Constitutional Convention, as Sheriff and as Governor has won our respect, and whose personal character lias com? manded our esteem." ? ? - ? ?
