CLAIMS SIX MEMBERS OF
 THE NEW BOARD
Said to Have Assured
 Him Support.

The scramble for office among those who think they are entitled to recognition at the hands of the successful candidates In the recent election Is growing more eager and persistent each day, and those who have appointments to make are be- sieged on every side by hordes Of hungry politicians. The probable alignment of the newly elected members of the Board of Supervisors has been almost lost sight of temporarily by the clamor made by the ofice-seekers, but the indications are that unless new combinations are effected the gang will not be able to run things with, a high hand, as heretofore, during the administration of Mayor Phelan.
 The Mayor is credited with claiming that he will have the support of six mem bers of the new Board of Supervisors, and thus be able to prevent the passage of obnoxious measures over his veto. If he can control the votes of four he will be master of the situation, and it is not be- lieved by those who are familiar with the makeup of the new board that he can count positively on more than that num- Der.
 Those who are said to have assured the Mayor of their support are John Lack mann Albert Heyer, Dr. Perrault, Arthur Attridge, Jeremiah Deasy and l.. F. By ington. pr. Perrault Is said to have stated that he would stand by Phelan, and the others, with the exception of Attridge, are known to be friendly to him. At fridge, however, Is regarded as an exceed ingly doubtful customer.
 Speculation as to the makeup of the various committees is already rife. Ac- cording to the latest information pr. Per raut is slated for the charmanship of the Hospital Committee, Howard Black will head the Committee on Printing, Ed ward Holland that on finance, while Ed Committee on Streets. Clerk Russell and Assistant Clerk Farquharson will re- main.
 Coroner-elect Hill has dec.ued upon the mick, chief deputy; Joe. Mogan, John Gately and George Lacoinbe, deputies :; steve steve Peter, stenographer, and Dr.. These appointments are said to have been made without consulting the nominating committee of one hundred, and it is said to be the intention of Dr. Hill to ignore entirely the agreement entered into with that body when he was nominated for the office.
 Dr. Dodge, Assessor-elect. Is also cred ited with having broken away from the committee and to have declared that he will dish out the patronage at his disposal regardless of its wishes or suggestions. He is at present confined to his house with a slight illness and has given out that he has not yet decided on any of his appointeeS.
 Sheriff Martin has not made up his slate, but Dave Martin will be Under Sheriff and w. J. Blattner will be chief outside depu- ". John M. Cnretien and Edgar D. Peix- otto are after the appointment of Sher- iff's attorney, with the chances slightly in favor of Cnretien.
 County Clerk Deane will retain some of Currys courtroom clerks, together with Marriage License Clerk Danforth and Probate Clerk Northrup. George McComb also expects a place in the office.
 Charles Corey will be chief deputy in the Recorders office, and E. B. Perkins expects a similar position in the Treas urer's office. Deputy District Attorney Hinkle and Clerks Tungate and Blair will probably remain In the District Attorney 8 office.
 Auditor Wells will retain Dan Leary, but will probably make his son chief dep uty. In the Tax Collectors office the chief deputy will probably be James Nc Cabe, with J. J. Sullivan as cashier and Thomas Dwyer clerk.
 Pat Prendergast will be tak ken care of in the Street Department or ohe of the Po- lice Courts.
 The medical profession is deeply inter- ested in the appointment of the local Board of Health by Governor Gage. Among those prominently mentioned for the honor are Dr. BaZet. Dr. Williamson, Dr. Winslow Anderson, pr. w. $. Thorne, pr. M H. Woolsey, Dr. Ford, Dr. Regens- burger and Dr. Carpenter.
