Three Gamblers Present to Make q Protest
Against Ingrstitude and Bad Faith-Edward
Hawkins to R~esign-Tslk on the Leyee.

A secret conference OF local Democratic
leaders was held, 1t is said, at the Grand
Hotel, yesterday afternoon. to discuss ths
situation as to the present police interior
ence with gambling. 1t Is understood
all of the city officials, having directly to
do with party management in the city, and
some of those having to do directly with
the police management. were present.
including Tom Taggart, State chair
man, Sterling X. Holt, ex-county
chairman; VIC Baokus. county treasures
and handler of assessments and bootleg
Albert Sshm, and w. A. Sullivan, of the
Board of Public Safety. The question
was, shall the gambling joints be-
allowed TO reopen or shall they
be kept closed. The decision was
aggravated by the promise made before
election to the gamblers who contributed
$1,000 to the campaign fund. that they
should be safe from disturbance. Three
were present, claiming not only
to represent their own calling,
but also the saloon-keepers of the city.
While Backus and Sahm were representing
in the Evening News that they knew
nothing of the contributions from
the gamblers, they were acknowl-
edging before this secret meeting
the obligation upon the city Democracy
based upon the fact of the contribution.
Of course. those who participated in the
conference keep a very close mouth as to
the decision reached. But it was whispered
upon the levee last night hat after
q certain period. not named. but
not far of, the bride il
to be taken off, and the town cut loose"
as one of the gamblers expressed il. In
the meantime the gamblers will make no
effort tn reopen ? their joints. This
settlement. 1t was declared, was in
fiuenced by an offer made in
the meeting to bet $1,000 TO $500 that IL this
policy of fencing IN the town was con-
tlnued, the Democratic candidate for
May or next fall would be turned down."
Another result OF the conference was
that Edward Hawkins, president OF
the Board of Public Safety, will
send in his resignation Gin December to
Mayor Sullivan. He does not wans
to become further ~entangled in
diff culties which might defeat his
nomination or election az Mayor.
He wants to be free to play for the same
heightened elements of support for which
the present incumbent played. and which.
as IL now seen by the unusual moun Of
gambling, he SO completely deceived.

The announcement was made this even
ing that the public prosecutor had refused
TO submit TO the investigating committee

reason for the refusal Is that 1t would be

more especially SO because the idea is OPP

The news of this action on the part OF the

dulged in as to what course the investigat-
