SMITH TO Be CHAIRMAN.
Committee of Seventy Said to
Have Selected Him.
Anti-Tanmany Men Complain of
Unfair Representation.

When the new Committee OF Seventy
meets tomorrow afternoon to perfect
organization. 1t IL more than likely that
Charles Stewart Smith. ex-Presldent Of
the Chamber of Commerce, Will be elect
ed Chairman of the body.
Temporary Chairman Joseph La
ROGUE will cal the meeting to order,
and then Mr. Smiths name will be pre-
scented with others OF the slate OF Off
GERS, said to have been agreed upon
at an informal meeting OF the leaders
OF the Committee.
The Anti-Tammanyites belonging to
different organizations In the city think
that great mistake was made In the
makeup of the Committee Of Seventy.
1t is claimed that all the organizations
should have been represented or none,
but they argue that the Committee Is
made up of representatives of four DIFF
ferent organizations. namely. the Re
publican organization. Good Government
clubs, German organizations and state
Democracy.
When 1t comes to nominating ticket
many Of these members of the commit
tee representing the orRanizat ions have
no hesitancy In declaring that they will
support the nominee of their own or
ganlzation. irrespective of any action Of
the Committee Of Seventy 80 II IL
claimed that mistake was made In
not selecting n committee from citi-
zens unconneCted with the various or
ganizations.
The cry is also being raised that all
OF the Committee reside principally In
three A~embly districts. the Eleventh,
Twenty first and Twenty-thlrd. strong
Republican districts, and that the rest
OF the city has no representation.
The Independent County Organization,
ut meeting of the Campaign Commit
tee yesterday, put itself on record as
in favor of an honest union Of all organ
iZations, and declared that attempts to
nominate ticket by one organization
without conference with the others
would be nothing less than criminal.
The O'Bren Democracy Will in ali
probability, adopt similar resolutions.
as they are in accord with the indie
pendent County Organization In demand

MIRRORS PIILLED THE CAT.

The cat went into the maze yesterday
morning for the first time, says the Bai-
sorely tempted her to enter ever since
the maze had been put into position,
She strolled In and climbed pillar near
a central position, and when she threw
her eyes around there seemed to be
sixteen other black cats returning her
glance with friendly interest.
This enraged her, and she humned her
back to let the other cats know She was
no coward. Sixteen other cats took a
corresponding hump, and each was
watching ner next move.
This was too much, and the cat leaped
from her stand and started to get out
There were apparently a dozen avenues
OF escape, and she made for one of them,
only TO run plump against a glass mirror.
The same thing happened again and
again, until finally she spied the man In
q blue uniform who takes tickets for the
mare. Like flash she leaped past him
ana not out Of the maze.
