created a storm OF no small proportions,
The story is to the effect that Klefer IN

said that a combination has been entered
between Kiefer and Smith to beat Schiff-

Kiefer already realizes that he has no
chance for a denomination and has in
| reality pledged his waning strength to
Smith. For this, service it is given out.
that Kiefer Is to be granted certain con-
cesSions.
One Of them that Chief Of Detectives
Mclntire Is credited with confiding to his
| friends is that McIntire and Christen-
sen. Chief of Police Getchell and any
others of the police department who may
see fit to play into the mayors hand will
be allowed tot hold their jobs If Smith

Another story accredited to Chief of
Detectives McIntire is that the anti
Schiffmarn combination has already
raised $500 for the purpose Of fighting
| Schiffmann at the primaries in the
Fourth ward. The scheme is to try to
break Schiffmann's strength In his own
ward and urge his apparent weakness III
his home bailiwick as a reason why he
| should not be nominated. This con-
| tingency the Schiffmann supporters do
not fear to any extent, however, as they
are confident Of carrying the Fourth
easily, and they are even willing that a
little of the Kiefer-Smith combination
money shall be circulated among the
worthy" In this way the "boys'' can
make little ready cash, and give the
! combination an even harder throw-over
In the convention, is the way 1t Is figured
out.
