WHAT WILL MIR. YORK DOp
Mulberry Street Anxious TO Know whether
He viii Get Out or Flight His Colleagues.

Rumors about the troubled situation in the
Police Board flew thick and fast in Mulberry
street Yesterday. President York was "out"
for keeps with Chief Devery and tho three
other Police Commissioners, he was going 70
resign. IA magistracy had definitely been offered
10 him. he meditated turning on his colleagues
and fighting them By telling what he knew about
them-these we're a few Of the reports in cir
culation The fact that Lawrence Delmour
called at Headquarters and had a talk with
President York was pointed 10 as confrma-
ton Of each tale in turn. Mr.. York himself
was silent. He would admit nothing Also
he would deny nothing. So Mulberry street
decided at last that while something was going
10 happen nothing would drop until after Mr..
troker's return.
Mr.. York spent most OF the day in Brooklyn
where he had q conference with Deputv-l hief
Mclaughlin. II was Mclaughlin and Pres
ident York who stood out againstthe Chief and
the rest of the board in the matter of keeping
the resorts at Conry Island within bounds.
SO the conference between the two was be-
heved TO be full OF significance. The talk with Mr..
Demour Is supposed TO have been in reference
known that Tammany would view Mrl Ork's
resignation with equanimity, and would in fact.
be willing to give him city magistracy. II hs
would only get out. That Mr.. York would be
pleased with such an appointment is taken for
granted That he Is suitable candidate Is
considered proved by the fact that he served
for twenty years as clerk Of a Brooklyn court.

salary of $500 year
