AFTER HIS HONOR.
Politicians Seeking What
Mayor Hoos Has to
Give.
DAVIS is WITH GORMAN
The Leaders Whole Time
Will Probably Be Devoted
to Landing the Police
Commissionership.

Probably before another week shall
have passed Mayor Hoos will have made
all the appointments that fall to him.
There will, of course, be changes in the
official family, but they will not be as
great as many politicians seem to anti
cipate.
The greatest interest is eentered in the
race for the Police Commissionership.
The candidates are:-John D. German,
John P. Feeney, James N. Davis, Charles
J. Boltwood, William j. Moran and Thos.
f. Carey. Leader Davis is unquestion-
ably with John D. German and if report
be true he will devote his whole time and
attention to landing that gentleman in
office. In fact to get Mr.. German, Leader
Davis may abandon fighting for several
other of the appointments he would like
to have a say in.
Leader Davis will not discuss the ap-
pointments. Mayor Hoos will not discuss
them, so that no one knows just what
is likely to occur. The meeting of the
Leader ana the Mayor, which was slated
for Wednesday, has not taken place, and
it may not take place this week.
Just how Mayor Hoos feels about John
D. Germans candidacy is not known. By
politicians, however, it is thought the race
is between Mr.. German and James N.
Davis. with the Mayor leaning just a
trifle toward Mr.. Davis. The Mayor re-
alizes fully what the party Leader has
done for him and it is believed will re-
spect his wishes. There has been talk
already of dark horses and compromise
candidates, but Leader Davis is credited
with being in the fight this time for
scalp.
The new Police Commissioner will sue
ceed Hugh H. Abernethy. The entrance
Of the new member makes the Board
Democratic and places the department
in the control of that party. Whoever
the new member may be it is an assured
fact that the department will be given
the shaking up it richly deserves. One
or two captains will be transferred Sew
era1 sergeants and roundsmen will be
moved and patrolmen by the score will
be given opportunity to show their zeal
in new fields.
In the Fire Board John Brennan is the
retiring member There is only one can
G-date OF any prominence. He is James
Hennessey. He is Leader Davis choice
and his appointment is generally accepted
as having already been made Leader
Davis wants him. Mayor Hoos admires
