OFFICE CHANCES.
Mayor Hoos and Leader
Davis Will Consult About
Appointments.
NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING
Blissful State of Ignorance as
to the Winners at
City Hall.

Letters and kilograms of congratulation
continued to pour in upon Mayor Hoos
today The Mayors callers too were
numerous and all shook hand with him
and expressed their delight at the tre-
mendous majority given him. The Mayor
with his usual modesty remarks:-
..The Democratic party was splendidly
organized and Mr.. Davis caused the men
TO do earnest, honest work.
Nearly every man who calls has some
explanation TO offer why and how 1t oc-
CURED. The Mayer comes in for great
praise, but he is unwilling to take any
more credit for the great victory than
the other candidates.
The Mayor has been too busy to even
think of appointments.
Leader Davis, too, has been kept on the
jump Mayor Fagan and Dennis Nc
Laughlin We're visitors yesterday. There
We're men from all parts of the county
and each congratulated him upon the
success of the party. Today the Leader
entertained callers by the score About
one-half the visitors today were doing
their utmost to ascertain whom the
Leader will support for the several offices
that are to be filled on April %.
Mayor Hoos and Leader Davis will
probably talk the situation over tomorrow
or Saturday. AS yet Leader Davis has
not seen the Mayor about appointments
1t is pretty generally understood that the
recommendations of the executive com
mittee a presented by Leader Davis will
be given fair and due consideration.
The greatest fight will be for the Police
Commissionership and rumor has it that
A. Iii nCf 70 aaf
John D. German. Ex-Commissioner Fee
ney has not given up hope nor has ex-
Alderman Moran. Assessment Commits
sioner James N. Davis is prominent
factor and Street and Water Commits
sioner Boltwood's name has been men
toned. Who the lucky man will be no
one knows.
It was reported today that the Mayor
would announce his appointments earlier
than usual this spring. On that point,
however, the Mayor declined to speak.
Ex-Postmaster Jordan is working like a
beaver to be made City Treasurer Dickin-
-sons successor.
General Heppenheimer is still in the race
and has no idea of abandoning his fight.
Comptroller Hough will doubtless be re-
appointed by the Mayor.
The Tax Commissionership is another
uncertain quantity. The names of Com
missioner Boltwood, James E. Connolly
and John P. Feeney have been prominent
1y mentioned.
What will happen in the Finance Board
is not known. Mr.. John D. Mullins it
would appear will capture one of the
seats There is a petition abroad for the
reappointment of Commissioner Simpson.
Mr. Mullins called on the Mayor today
and offered his congratulations.
Director of Education Mulvaney had a
talk with the Mayor today about the
appointments to the Board of Education.
Mr. Mulvaney entered strong appeal for
the reappointment of the present mem
bers. There will doubtless be a long list
of reappointments.
The Mayor is very well satisfied with
the management of affairs blythe pres
ent Board.
The Aldermen will re-elect all their
present officers. There will be q few
changest in the clerical line.
