Harvey (1881-1946), a supporter of the Christian Front, was Borough President of Queens from 1929 to 1941. In 1937 he ran for mayor of New York against Fiorello La Guardia. "Time Magazine" referred to him as the favored candidate of Nazi Germany, noting that "Berlin newspapers solemly declared: 'If he is elected Mayor, Mr. Harvey has promised to eradicate Communists from New York in two weeks, with rubber hoses.'"
