VAN WYCK HELD THE REPORT
HIS COMMISSIONERS OF ACCOUNTS AT
Tackled BOOKKEEPING IN CLAU-
SENS DEPARTMENT.

The bookkeeping of the Park Department
under George c. Clausen is severely criticised
in a report made to the Mayor by Commission
ers of Accounts Hertle and owen on November
IS last. Mayor Van Wyck did not make the re-
port of the commissioners public.
The statement is made by the commissioners
that In the book for the entry of record OF
supplies furnished the Park Department no en-
tries have been made for the last thirteen
months and that in other books there are no
entries In twelve columns arranged for data
necessary to the safe conduct of the park ac-
counts The most noticeable thing. however Is
the charge that for more than S3O.ooo worth OF
work done on the American Museum OF Natural
History there was no competitive bidding. as the
charter provides. This part Of the report reads
as follows:
We find that the purchases made by requlsltlon
and order for the of the department nave al
been made in compliance with Section 4lS OF the
charter. This Is not the case, however, WIN the
expenditures incurred for construction WORK at inc

JEROME 1NsrRUCTs HIS STAFF
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS THE ofFlCh
MUST HAVE PUBLIC OPINION
BEHIND 1T.

District Attorney Jerome at his ofhce early
again Yesterday morning. He found his own name
on the door in place of that OF Mr Philoin ana no
visible trace now remains Of the previous admin
istratIon An unusually large mail awaited INT
District Attorney, and number or visitors cdleu /"
the morning to congratulate him. Among them was
Magistrate Mayo.
When seen by a reporter yesterday Judge jerome
declared that would go TO Albany TO present ms
Views on the proposed excise legisiauoh' II
the legislative committee which will have charse
of the bill would give him hearing. Asked IL ne
did not think the committee would look to him TOT
initiation I'm the matter. the District Attorney re-
piled that he thought IT would. AS yet he SAID ne
had prepared no amendment to the existing excise
law.
In reference to the course OF action 20 be pursued
with regard TO certain advertisements recentS
printed in The City Record the District Attorney
said that the matter was IN the hands OF his as
sistant Mr. Thorne. He also announced that SlI,
Schurnan would look after the Brooklyn btluse
matter and that Mr. Osborn was looking after the
police cases now hanging ire ,. ,,,,o7
In the afternoon District Attorney Jerome cslleH
the members OF the stan together in his prNate
office and had an informal talk with them -. .

ton that il will not continue 10 be to the end.
There is. therefore, strong probability that the
issue Of locality will play its part in the initia-
tive, and not in the outcome.
The fact that ex-Attorney General John w.
Sriggs will be a candidate for United States
Senator from New-Jersey has met with the ap-
proval of representative Republicans not only
in that State but in many other Of the common
wealths. Many people thought, because Of his
recent resignation from the Cabinet that Mr..
GTfggs would not care to resume official life so
soon. 1t said quite recently that he might
rot be able 10 accept the place of United States
Senator because Of the demands OF his profess
sion. While he a member of the Cabinet,
the exacting duties OF Attorney General entirely
prohibited him practising law aside from his
office; but a Senator ne would have no such
compulsory restrictions upon him. In fact, II
was learned yesterday from close friend of
Mr.. Griggs that his practice was in such a
position as 70 permit him to accept the office OF
Senator. IL he should be selected for it. without
IN any way interfering with the interests or ms
clients.
CANDIDACY OF JOHN w. GRIGGs.
He has therefore announced that he is can
didate. His thorough familiarity with federal
relations and State affairs, his personal ac-
quaintsnce with almost every member of the
United States Senate and his conceded ability
TO represent New-Jersey with the dignity and
statesmanship becoming to the office are the
grounds upon which his friends in New-Jersey
and elsewhere are urging his selection as the
successor of Senator Sewell. It ought, his friends
say, TO be understood without the necessity OF
making the statement that Mr.. Griggs is not
the candidate of any section particular polit-
1cal or other interest Of the State. The selection
of a United States Senator. in his view, II is
said, does not require the choice Of a sectional
representative, and he has idea of entering
The contest as the candidate of any locality. but
as q citizen of New-Jersey. Neither has he gone
into the contest the opponent of any of the
candidates from the different localities of the
state On the contrary. he is on friendly terms
with all of these candidates and will undou bt-
he He Tharp -ain he I,
the contest for United States Senator one OF
the candidates from whom the joint meeting
must make the choice.
Mr. Griggs's public career and his achieve
,nents. both as Governor Of New-Jersey and as
Attorney General of the United States. are so
famillar TO everybody to render recapitula-
tion al this time unnecessary.

APPOINTMENT OF EX.MAYOR BRIGGS
AS STATE TREASURER FANS FAC
TIONAL FLAME.

Trenton, Jan. (SpeciaD.-To-night finds four
avowed candidates in the field for the seat in the
United States Senate made vacant by the death
of General William ]. sewelI. with Edward C.
Stokes, Clerk in Chancery. fifth aspirant. whose
candidacy has not yet been formally announced
Ex-United States Attorney General John w Grggs
and ex-Sherh David Baird yesterday made their
public declarations. while both John f. Dryden
and Barker Gummere had previously made public
their candidates.. For each OF the four avowed
candidates declarations being put forth that
they already have well to a majority of
the Republican votes in the legislature.
If the election was to be held tomorrow ii is fig
Ured that the vote the first ballot would stand
about follows: John w. Griggs OF Passaic l6:
John F. Dryden, of Essex, 49, Edward C. Stokes of
Cumberland, Il: David Baird. OF Camden 9; Barker
Gummere, OF Mercer, Z; John w. Herbert OF Mid
dlesex. 4; John ]. Gardner Of Atlantic 2. On the
second ballot the Gummere votes would likely go
10 Baird, as would also the Gardner votes giving
him 49, while the Herbert votes would go to Criggs
giving him 20 votes. The above estimate is fur
nished by leading State Republican who is in
touch with the legislative situation and who makes
the following division of the counties the basis of
his calculations:
