MIGHT NOT NAME FULLER.
Report that Low Objects to His Holding City
Contracts

There rumor in Brooklyn yesterday that
Senator Rudolph c. Fuller. who had been indorsed
by the Kings County Republican organization for
Commissioner of Elections succeed Michael J.
Dady. might not be appointed by Mayor Low. 1t
was said that the Mayor objected to Mr.. Fuller
because his contra acting firm of Fuller & O'Connor
holds city contracts. Furthermore according
the story. Mayor Low had signifed 10 Lieutenant
Governor Woodruff his desire to appoint ex-Judge
William Schnitzspan. In spite of this fact. the
Republican executive committee had indorsed
Fuller.
1t was believed, however. the stories started
BY the friends of Mr.. Schntzspan, who are much
disappointed because he was not chosen by the
County Committee Senator Fuller, it is said. IS
willing 10 overcome Mayor Lows alleged objection
by retiring from his contracting firm. at least
assigning others the city contracts it holds.
II is pointed that Senator Fuller has the back
ing OF eX-Mayor Charles A Schieren. and. through
him. Of the independent Republicans in Brooklyn.
This, II is believed, will go long way toward in
ffuencing Mayor Low TO appoint the man who has
been formally chosen by the organization The ap-
pointment VIII probably he made on Monday.
