Summary: Theodore P. Wilsnack of Richmond Hill was nominated for the Assembly by the Republicans of the Fourth Assembly District of Queens, 25 votes to 3, after a proposal to endorse John Kochendorfer of Richmond Hill, the Progressive (Bull Moose) candidate, was voted down. The passage naming Wade:

Frank Phillips of Richmond Hill placed the name of Kochendorfer in nomination. He was seconded by William H. Wade, president of the Richmond Hill Republican Club. H. Homer Moore nominated Wilsnack, and he was seconded by L. C. Shaut and Gustave J. Schaefer of Woodhaven, and Edwin Rees, substituting for Frank Bambara of Jamaica. The Wilsnack supporters contended that it would be wrong to name a man who had left the Republican party. The three who voted for Kochendorfer were John Dolan of Richmond Hill, who acted under instructions from his election district, and Messrs. Wade and Phillips.
