Lehman Heads N. Y. Winners

Heading the list of successful Jewish candidates in New York is Lt. Gov. Herbert Lehman who was reelected for a second term. Long active in multitudinous Jewish affairs, Lt. Gov. Lehman will start his second two year term in Albany as the right hand man of Governor Roosevelt.

All of the New York Jewish congressmen were reelected despite hard fights. William Sirovich, Sol Bloom, Emanuel Celler and Samuel Dickstein will return to their customary places in the 72nd Congress. Magistrate Louis Brodsky lost a close decision to the incumbent, Mrs. Ruth Pratt. Jacob Panken, Socialist opponent of Mr. Sirovich, came in a good third, as did B. C. Vladeck in Brooklyn. The numerous Jewish candidates for Congress on the Republican ticket were all defeated.

Judge Bernard L. Sheintag, of the Supreme Court, was reelected while Borough President Julius Miller scored a sweeping victory in his campaign for the same court. David Cohn, the Republican nominee, was defeated. Louis Kahn defeated his Jewish opponent on the Republican ticket for the city court while Harry Fromberg was beaten in his race for the Brooklyn county bench as were the three Jewish candidates in Manhattan for the municipal court.
