The City of New York, already suffering from eight years of Hylanism, would be doomed to four years more of it. [207] UP FROM THE CITY STREETS "Governor Smith began his fight against Mayor Hylan last winter when he appointed the intelligent and fearless Judge McAvoy to investigate transit conditions. The Mc- Avoy report, laying the entire blame for the lack of new subways at the door of the Mayor, opened the eyes of the Democrats of the city to the political weakness of Mr. Hylan, for this was ...the report of a judge born and bred in Tammany Hall. "When the time came to designate candidates for mayor, Governor Smith was not turned from his oppo- sition to Hylan by the refusal of the bosses of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island to abandon the Mayor. With Judge Olvany of Tammany Hall and Leader Flynn of the Bronx standing bravely with him, the Governor made war, real war. Hylan was not to be beaten with a feather duster. Smith went at him with the clubs of plain lan- guage. He told the Democratic voters the truth about the Mayor's failure to serve the city.
