The Republican state convention met on September 28 at Rochester, New York, and nominated New York City Park Commissioner Robert Moses for governor on the third ballot after a struggle with the Macy faction, defeating Samuel Seabury and Seabury C. Mastick. Also nominated were Fred J. Douglas for lieutenant governor; Wilson R. Campbell, of Steuben County, for comptroller; William T. Powers, of Brooklyn, for attorney general; E. Harold Cluett for the U.S. Senate; Frederick E. Crane for chief judge; the incumbent[6] Democrat John T. Loughran to succeed himself; and Charles B. Sears for the Court of Appeals, thus dropping fellow Republican Edward R. Finch who had been nominated by the Democrats in a common cross-endorsement deal for judicial officers.[7]
The "Recovery Party" filed a petition to nominate state officers on October 9, 1934. The ticket was headed by Ex-Mayor of New York John F. Hylan for governor.[8] The ticket was not allowed on the ballot because of numerous forged signatures and thus not meeting the legal requirements.[9] Hylan did receive 15,208 write-in votes in New York City according to NYC Board of Elections records, but these were included in the state total of blank, void and scattering votes (141,700).
The "Constitutional Party" nominated Colonel Henry Breckinridge, a Democrat who opposed President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policy, for the U.S. Senate, and used the "Pine Tree of Liberty" as its emblem on the ballot.
