morning that Mayor Pagan would an
nounce his appointments today, and there
was a great scrambling among the Re-
publican spoils seekers to see if they had
caught on" The first shape the rumor
took was that Mr.. Fagan would appear
at the Mayors office in the City Han
at 10 A. M. today and publicly announce
the lucky ones so that all could learn
their names at the same time. The NUNS
ber of those who got this strictly ex-
elusive tip was such that quite throng
was gathered about Mayor Hooss office
at that time and waited. The big hand
of the clock moved slowly around until
it came dangerously near to eleven, when
the crowd became convinced that some
thing was wrong with the rumor. 1t was
then said that the Mayor-elect had the
list at his home on Mercer street and
would make it public through the news
papers this evening. This started the
office seekers up Mercer street, toward
Monmouth. When they arrived at the
Pagan home they were told that the
Mayor-elect hal left home at 5 o'clock,
nobody knew where he was or when he
would come back. Then the hungry ones
scattered in all directions to pick up what
crumbs of comfort they could
How to do? Have you heard the APP
poinfments?" was the general soiutation
on the streets this morning. But no one
could be found who knew anything def
nitely about them.
'sYou can rest assured that there Will
be no appointments announced by Mayor
Faga ntoday." said Colonel Samuel D.
Dickinson, and it was taken for granted
that the Colonel knew what ne was talk
ing about From other sources it was
learned that the new Mayor had not even
at this late date completed his list and
had not fully made up his mind to whom
to give one or two places. 1t was saio,
however. that the list would be completed
today and would be announced tomorrow.
Some surprise was expressed that the
list of the fortunate ones had not been
made known before this as mary of them
would be obliged to Civ ebonds and want
cd time to secure bondsmen. One who
pretended to know what he was talking
about said that was all right, that those
who would be required to give bonds had
been tipped off" and when they took
their places they would be all ready to
furnish the required bonds.
Every one seemed to take it for granted
