New York.—There is no privacy
for Private Citizen James A. Farley.
Although he has been out of the
national limelight for 8 months, the
big fellow has about as much chance
for obscurity as a movie idol on
Broadway.
He’s reveling in his role
businessman and enjoying
freedom from the pressure
terrific years as Democatic national
chairman and Postmaster General.
He has no regrets, he says, over
climbing outside the ropes of the po
litical arena, while his family is de
lighted to have him once again as a
more or less stable member of the
household instead of a once-in-awhile
visitor between hops about the coun
try, at the rate of 60,000 miles a
year.
But, nevertheless, Jim Farley still
belongs to the people, and his office
would look like a convention hall to
day if all those trying to see him
were permitted past a cute blonde re
ception girl and his efficient secretary.
They shield him from a horde of
callers—job hunters, fellows who met
“Good Old Jim” at a poltical rally
back in Podunk Center, publicity seek
ers, panhandlers and scores of others
who have no legitimate reason for a
call.
Even then he receives dozens of
callers — businessmen, politicians,
prize fighters, baseball players, and
just plain folks. He carries on a tre
mendous personal correspondence with
his political friends in every State in
the Union who continue to keep him
advised on the national situation.
He couldn’t entirely shake loose
from his political bonds if he want
ed to, because of the close personal
ties he formed throughout the years
as ringmaster of the Democratic po
litical circus.
But those years in Washington—
beating the Roosevelt drum, keeping a
finger on the Nation’s voting pulse,
ironing out intraparty strife, and fly
ing across the continent just to make
a speech at a post-office dedication—
gave him a financial beating.
Now he’s trying to recoup his loss
es. •
Those with an appointment to see
Farley these days are told by the
blond receptionist to have a seat,
please and Mr. Farley will see you in
a few minutes.
Then a door opens and there is pri
vate citizen Farley with his hand out
stretched and a broad smile on his
face as though an old friend had
dropped in for a chat, when perhaps
he never saw the visitor before.
He looks as fit as a figfhter in train
ing, and if the years in Washington
maelstrom left any mark on his hon
est Irish face, there isn’t a trace of it
Only his surroundings seem
strange. He moves a great deal in
the plush-carpet quiet of h'is big busi
ness as president of the Coca-Cola
Export Corporation and president of
the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Boston.
Soft-voiced aides move in and out
of his office. Muffled typewriters
barely can be heard and buzzers buzz
discreetly in the distance.
That’s the picture of genial Jim
Farley that his multitude of friends
in every congressional district in the
Nation hasn’t seen. They know Jim
Farley as the center of milling, sweat
ing, loud-voiced meetings of politi
cians in hotel rooms blue with cigar
smoke, where poltical campaigns were
mapped and elections won.
It probably is inconceivable to them
that he has no political ambitions and
is happy in his new businessman role,
but that’s what he says.
“I have no pfons to return to poli
tics,” Farley said in an interview. “I
have no poltical ambitions. I’m more
concerned now with the well-being of
our country and the hope that we
come through withiut getting involv
ed in this war.
“And, too, I can’t afford political
ambitiojis.” .
There’s talk, of course, that Farley
be drafted to run as mayor of the city
of New York or as Governor of the
State. Many believe he could be elect
ed to either position if he took off
his coat and went to work for one of
them.
Farley isn’t interested in either the
power or the glory, his friends say,
the entire last 8 months than I was
during the entire 8 years in Washing
ton.”
There’s the same round of confer
ences, meetings, rallies, speeches—ex
cept they aren't political.
It’s no secret that Farley’s ambi
tion at present is to get control of
the New York Yankee baseball chain.
He heads a syndicate which still is
dickering for the American League
property with executors of the estate
of Col. Jacob Ruppert.
Farley always has been a Yankee
fan and a baseball addict ever since
he played first base as a youth on the
village team as Grassy Point, where
he was bom May 30, 1880, the son of
a brick manufacturer.
Sports have been his hobby and
from 1925 to 1939 he was New York
boxing commissioner. He still can be
found at a ringside or at the Yankee
ball park whenever he can find the
time.
His greatest baseball hero was Babe
Ruth, and there’s a possibility if he
can get control of the Yankees, he
will try to bring the Bambino back to
•the game. The team' of Farley and
Ruth would be a potent combination
in the national pastime.
Whether jt’s business, politics, civ
ic work, sports or the general run-of-
mine office work, Farley still packs
more activity into one day than al
most any other individual on Man
hattan Island.
“The days would have to be 60
hours long for the boas to meet all
the demands on his time,” a secretary
remarked.
That’s what “political retirement”
means to private citizen Farley,

County Board of Education as requir
ed by a recent act of the Legislature,
asking for elections in the districts

purpose of voting special levies for

000 and the annual salaries of mayor
and Governor ($25,000) would not
permit him to make up these losses
because of outside expense involved in
holding such a position.
There’s a possibility Farley could
be lured back into the national poli
tical ring by the assurance of nomi
nation as President or Vice President.
But he declines to discuss these
speculations, just as he avoids any
talk of his rift with President Roose
velt over the third-term nomination
at Chicago last year. His political ac
tivity is confined to his work as chair
man of the New York State Demo
cratic Committee.
Despite this “retirement”, Farley
can t step outside his office that he
isn’t stopped by a mail carrier or an
old friend for a chat. There’s a con
stant demand for his services in civic
work—which he gives generously. At
present he’s chairman of the greater
New York fund campaign to raise
money for charity.
“Actually, I don’t think the return
to private life has meant much
change for me.” he laughs, “except
I get to be with my family more of
