Manhattan officials were silent on this point.
but the report was believed by many. IT was
said that the ordinances prepared would he
signed by the Mayor. and other plans Of the
Ta,nmany city officials so on just the same. but
in a perfunctory manner and that the ordl-
nances would not be enforced.
From an apparently authoritative source II
was learned yesterday that Croker and his FOL
lowers had been settling up by compromise their
short interest in Manhattan stock and that
under this agreement the anti-elevated ordl-
nances which the Mayor is expected TO sign VIII
not be enforced. Also little by little the actual

and Mr.. Gould when the former went to de-
mand Of the latter the privilege Of hanging his

ported to have replied: "Oh, He'll ! want the
pipes put on and I don't want 6ny crcumocu-

rrise nj the way the demand was made and
asked If 1t would not be better TO give him an
