The strikers on ex-Commodore Ell

of Walking Delegates ordered every

Made Against the Ex-ColIector.

Ihe rumor that Mayor Gilroy contem-
plated the appointment Of Gen. Michael
kerwh, late Collector of Internal Rev
ehue Tor the Second District. as Police
justice to succeed Justice Solon h..
smith. received some color to-day.
hVef since the rumor first became cur
rent. Mayor Gilroy has avoided speak
ing explicitly concerning his intentions
II was learned to-day. however, that
certain people opposed to Mr.. Kerwin
were SO positive of Mr.. Gilroy's inten-
ZION to appoint him that few days ago
p delegation waited upon the Mayor and
entered vigorous protest.
Gen. Aerwin has, 1t Is said, incurred
the enmty Of the great body of lrishmen
In New York by his alleged bias in favor
OF the Cronn murderers which he ex-
pressed in his paper. The Tablet, which
IL said to have since gone out of exist

1t was this strong prejudice against
Kelvin which prompted the delegation
TO wait upon Mayor Gilroy.
When asked to-day conceraing the mat
ter, the Mayor at first declined to talk,
but finally reconsidered his decision to
the extent OF saying that he had no in
tention Of making any appointments at
present.
The reporter then asked:
isn't Il a fact, Mr.. Mayor, that dele
kgo in regard to the appointment of Gen.
kerwln as Police Justice to succeed
Solon B Smith and preferred charges

"A delegation did call spon me, having

pointment and made lot of ridiculous

Gael. The charges were not supported

charges made by the delegation which
waited upon me a few days ago"
Among politicians who profess to be
posted on what goes on in the Mayor s
office. however, 1t Is generally accepted
as a fact that Gen. Kerwin has beer
slated to succeed Justice Smith, who Is
