The announcement that John G. Deubert. tho
Republican leader In the Twenty-eighth ward in
Brooklyn and one of Jacob Worth's retainers. had
paid q quiet visit to ox-Rogister Hugh McLaugh-
lin, the veteran Democratic manager. at his lit.
tie office in the WillouRhby street auction rooms
yesterday morning. revived tho gossip over
his rumored selection for tho vacant place In the
Police Board. 1t has been definitely understood
since the removal of Commissioners Hamilton
and Philips by Mayor Van Wyck that Mr.. Nc
LauRhlin would virtually have the choice Of
philipS's successor, and, aB Douhert had been
favored by Worth and ButtlinE. MIR. McLaugh.
lin, who had never met him before, was probably
anxious to look him over and take his measure.
just how the Twenty.eighth ward statesman
impressed him could not be learned. but thero
were hints among the lieutenanLs in the auc-
zion room that he did not measure up to the re-
Q~uirements. One OF them, who has had moro
than ono conference recently with Mayor Van
Wyck over the matter. said to q reporter of
THE Sun:
while the successor to Mr.. Philips will, Of
course. come from Brooklyn, no decision Inns yet
been reached as to the man who will be selected.
The problem is difficult, as mono OF the regular
machine men seems TO DO willing to take the Job.
The wishes OF our organization will. Ihave no
doubt. be consulted In the matter, but IL Is my
opinion that the Mayor may take some time be-
fore he makes the appointment. Ths proposed
calling OF an extra session of tho Legislature
makes the problem more difficult"
A prominent Brooklyn Republican said yes
terday that Mr.. Deubert had assured Senator
Plat that he would not accept tho place unless
with his consent.
