EUSTIS FOR BRONX PARKS
LIKELY TO BE NAMED AS THE RESULT
OF THE BREEN-REED FIGHT.

The announcement which made IN The
Tribune yesterday that the fight for the ap-
peintment Of Park Commissioner IN The Bronx
between the Republicans and the Greater New
York Democracy has resulted in sidetrackng
both Charles Reed and Matthew P. Breen, the
Republican and Democratic candidates, respec-
lively, and in substituting on Mr.. Lows slate
the names OF John z. Eustis and Fielding L
Marshall, the Citizens Union leaders of this
borough, excited widespread comment in poiiti-
cal circles yesterday.
Leaders Of the Citizens Union who were seen
yesterday said that 1t was their belief that Mr..
Eustis would be appointed. although Mr.. Mar
shall was also being considered. Mr.. Eustis is
an active member of the union, and was in the
front rank of the fusion campaign which
elected Mr.. Low He Is a lawyer, being the head
Of the law firm Of Eustis Foster & Coleman, Of
No. so Broadway. He is native Of this State,
and was born in 1871. He was graduated from
Wesleyan University in 1874 and from the Co.
lumbIa Law School three years later. He was a
school trustee up to the abolition Of the office
by the Pavey-Page law OF 1896, which he
favored. He then appointed school in
spector, but resigned to take the office of School
Commissioner. TO which he appointed by
Mayor Strong on November IS, 1896
Mr. Eustis is a member Of the Bar Assocta-
ton, of Lafayette Post, C. A R., and Of the
Morris Heights Club. Before the organization
of the Citizens Union he was identified with the
Republican party.
The appointment Of a Citizens Union man is
opposed by the Republican organization Of The
Bronx, although not with the same bitterness
as has been manifested in its fight against Mr..
Breen. Republican leaders said last night that
because Tammany elected its borough pres!-
dent and most Of its aldermen in the borough,
there was little left for the Republicans. For
that reason they had made such a fight for the
Park Commissioner.
Mr.. Low is still working on the makeup of the
Tax Board, and it is said that the Citizens
Union is TO be represented on it in the place Of
John c. Coleman who was formerly mentioned
