Situation Unchanged.
There is much speculation as to what
Will be the outcome of tonight's meeting
of the board of aldermen. The most inter-
esting event Of this meeting will be the
lection OF a presiding officer for that body.
At the last meeting, as reported in The
Star, a large number of ballots were taken
without electing presiding officer. the vote
standing for Ballenger. the incumbent,
and 4 for Sweeney, his opponent. From
what can be learned Of the deadlock II
seems there is no change in the situation.
and it Is believed the existing deadlock will
not be broken. Many methods have been
as to the best manner of reach
ing an amicable agreement, one being that
a primary should be held. How the mat
ter will be settled is only conjecture.
