Mayor stokiey to be Dropped-A Possible
Combination with the democrats.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1A-The contest. for
municipal officers in this city is getting very
hot and interesting. Some weeks ago reform
committee OF one hundred Republican citizens
drew up a ticket with the present Mayor.
William S. Stokley. for Mayor; Joseph L.
Caven for City Solicitor. and John Hunter
for Tax Receiver. The chief contest is TO
wrest the tax office from the hands OF the Re-
publican machine. for from this office. with its
thousands Of dollars OF perquisites. the ma
chine gets its money. The machine men held
their convention yesterday. They endorsed
for Tax. Receiver. and renominated City So
licitor West.
The reform Committee Of One Hundred met
to-day. MIR. Hunter has accepted their nom
notion was taken on the question OF Mayor
Stokley's candidacy, but IL is understood that
thar subject will be finally disposed OF at q
meeting TO be held tomorrow.
The committee refused TO make public Mayor
Stokley's lettor. but from the tenor OF the re-
marks made at the Executive Committees
meeting II was strongly indicated that the com
rittes would rocotnmC al nc iis meeting to-
morrow the dropping or OF Mayor Stokley's
name from the ticket on the ground Of his re-
fusal TO subscribe TO the declaration OF princi-
pies. In this event the r-formers will be left
with only one candidate. Hunter They will
undoubtedly try to make a combination with
the Democrats. and failing in this. will make a
new ticket.
Geo De B. Kelm. who was defeated yester-
day in the regular machine conventions. Rn-
nounccd his intention OF running independ-
emily. 1t is not at all unlikely that there will be
the fleld. and in that event the chances will be
