WILL SERVE OUT TERN. He SAYS.
CONTROLLER COLER REPEATS THE AssER-
TON THAT HE Is NOT A CANDIDATE
FOR OFFICE.

Controller Coler laughed yesterday over a re-
port that the Democratic party might try TO run
him for the Vice-PresidencY. Il can Kill that, at
any rate" he said, because am too young to be
a candidate for such an Office. l have been trying
to Kill other reports that may be candidate Tor
Governor or Mayor. l going to serve out my
term of office as Controller, and / am not to be
candidate for Governor. 1 have seen ex-senator
Hill nearly every time he has been in this city re-
Gently but the subject of ny candidacy has not
been mentioned on any occasion on which have
had a talk with him.
Would you be a candidate in case the nomina-
ton was offered you unanimously" Mr.. Coler
asked.
Il have no reason to believe that the nomina tion
would be offered 20 me unanimously he replied
You may say he added, that | will not be a
candidate under any circumstances. | expect to
serve out nv term of office Controller. and when
/ retire from this office l expect TO 80 back 10
business
1t is understood that of the reasons why the
Controller adhereS his determination not to leave
the Controllers office is that the appointment Of
his successor would be made by Mayor Van Wyck.
The provisions Of the charter are not clear on TINS
poirt but It is said the subject has been looked
ip and the opinion of good lawyers is to the effect
that the appointment Of a successor TO the Con
troller would be part of the Mayors duties. Mr..
The Controller and the Mayor have not been on
the most friendly terms during their tenure or
office and II is likely that Mr.. Coler would not
care 10 see his friends in the Finance Department
turned over TO the tender merCies of a successor
whom the Mayor would appoint.
