Seabury chose not to capitalize on his fame or reputation as an honest reformer, but this did not prevent him from forming a fusion ticket with Fiorello La Guardia as its candidate for mayor (the Democratic machine, Tammany Hall, had been discredited, but New York City remained a Democratic stronghold. A fusion candidate could appeal to both Democrats and Republicans for support). Once La Guardia had been elected, Seabury withdrew from politics and returned to his private practice. He died in 1958.
