York election Time is one of the Important elements They insist that when the election Is held Lagubernatorial Guardia will still have three more years to serve as mayor under the term to which he was dected last month Yet the term he may be seeking as governor would be for only two years So many of the New York City voters who thought he made a good mayor in his last term and who voted for him to have four more years rather than to turn the city over to the Democratic bosses will think it would be poor strategy for them to help send him to Albany It is also contended that scores of thousands
