h~I'CULLAGH'S DEPUTY.
Who Il It to Bc9-NIr. VIM Dusen's Chance
to Get the Place.

Who Ii 1t to Bc?-Mr. Van Dusen's Chance
to Get the Place.
It was reported last night that the Republi-
can leaders in Brooklyn had succeeded in pre-
venting the appointment of Clarence v. @. Van
Duseu as deputy to Superintendent McCullagh
under the Election law passed at the extra
session. Col. Michael j. Dady said that Super
intendent McCullagh had assured hin and Wal
ter B. Atterbury that Mr.. Van Dusen would not
be his deputy, The opposition to Mr.. Van
Dusen was based on his alleged doubtful nolit-
ical standing, and not on personal grounds.
The Brooklyn organization has Endorsed
Alfred Il. Hobley. the Executive Committee
man from the Thirteenth ward, for the place.
and last night the leaders seemed to be conf
dent that he would be appointed within q few
days. Mr.. Hobley has long been active in Re-
publican politics, and is the recognized leader
In the Fifth Assembly district. He was deputy
license clerk under the Wurster administration
A personal friend OF Mr.. Van Dusen said last
II was the first Republican to mention Mr..
Van Dusen's name for this place. for the reason
that he is very familiar with election matters.
find. however, that the organization Repub-
licans OF New York and Brooklyn object to his
appointment. and the question now is whether
l shall insist upon Mr.. Van Dusen's appoint
ment and throw him into a place where he
would meet during his term the antagonism OF
Republicans who had a right officially to object
to his appointment. That is the position which
confronts Mr.. Van Dusen and myself"
