...continued resolutely to Philadelphia and New York. This week, in the space of 48 hours, they attended Greek Orthodox services at Manhattan's Hellenic Cathedral, lunched with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt at Hyde Park, rode up Broadway in a ticker-tape storm, lunched at the Waldorf with Mayor Impellitteri and 1,500 other New Yorkers, accepted an honorary degree (King Paul can add Doctor of Humane Letters to his many titles) from Columbia University, dined with U.N. officials twice and attended two receptions. Ahead of them loomed a formidable five-week schedule that will take them...
When New York's Mayor Vincent Impellitteri got beaten in the Democratic primary last month by Robert F. Wagner, 43, son of the late Senator Robert F.

In a supporting speech, the mayor told Harlem voters that he hoped they...
Last week, in a traditional smoke-filled Manhattan hotel room, the opposing Democratic party bosses had it out. Queens Leader James A. Roe, Brooklyn's Kenneth Sutherland and Staten Island's Jeremiah A. Sullivan insisted on nominating Impellitteri. De Sapio and Congressman Charles A. Buckley, representing Flynn, refused to go along with them, then carried the fight into a hotel corridor, where reporters overheard the end. Yelled Leader Buckley, "You are wrecking the Democratic Party!" Snapped Leader Roe, "You might as well go out on 42nd Street. We're going to stop you sabotaging the party...
