THE MAYOR. 1T is SAID, WOULD NOT
REAPPOINT HIM EVEN IF COM
MTTEE INDORSED HIM.

Mayor Low is considering a number of men
from whom to select a successor to Michael j.
Dady, one of the four Commissioners of Elec-
tons The Mayor refuses to indicate what he
is going to do but those who are in a position to
know say that Mr.. Dady stands no chance of re-
appointment even If the Kings County Repub-
lican Committee should recommend him. The
salary of the place is $4,000 year. 1t is no
secret among Republicans that Mr.. Dady has
not worried over the duties of his office. The
working members of the commission are
President Voorhis and Secretary Page. They
regard the supervising of the bureau as their
regular day by day work. and put in six days
work a week there.
Dady, while thoroughly familiar with election
affairs, has been out of the city good deal Of
the time, and a year ago Senator Platt was
obliged to telegraph for him to come home from
Cuba and attend to his official duties. He came.
The indications are that Commissioner Dady
will receive the Endorsement Of the Kings
County organization. but Mayor Low is not
obliged to accede to the request of the COM
mittee 1t is probable that he will select an
organization man who will be thoroughly &C
ceptabIe to the Republican organization Of
Kings-one who will work regularly at his
duties as commissioner.
There is nothing certain about the reappolnt-
ment of Commissioner Voorhs Mr. Noorhis is
cIassed as a Carroll man in Tammany Hall. In

a large number OF foaters were sent INTO Car
