These are appointments John W. Holtz-
man is expected TO make in the event that
he receives the Democratic nomination for
mayor next Saturday and is successful at
the polls next October. and although their
jobs are contingent on an exceedingly re-
mote possibility-Holtzmans election after
he receives the nomina;ion--these men are
working night and day TO make their patron
the winner at Saturdays convention. II is.
in fact, due to their activity in this line
that il has become noised about that they
are to receive the appointments. They have
given their friends to understand that by
helping nominate Hoffman these friends
will also be helping them materially.
Hoffman himself Is doing everything in
his power to conceal the fact that he has
promised positions to these men, as he
realizes the disastrous effect the dissemina-
tion of this choice bit of information would
have on his candidacy. His opponents
charge him with attempting to play a
shrewd game on this issue. They say that
publicly Hoffman proclaims that ne has
not committed himself TO any man for any
job and will not do so until after he is
elected, while on the quiet he is promising
anything to anybody who Is anybody po-
litically who comes to him with request.
but that in fact he has pledged the ap-
pointments to the little coterie named
above. AS guarantee of good faith to
these men, it is said. he has not only told
each what he will get, but what the other
fellows will get.
STORM is BREWING.
This list of pledged appointments was in
more less general circulation yesterday
and as a result there is a storm brewing
among numerous heretofore Hoffman stall
warts who thought they were on the inside.
They claim TO have received assurances
that they would be well taken care of. but
they failed to find their names in the list
and they proceeded az once to raise a pro-
test. When the Keach-Holtzman ring
learned that there had been leak 1T Is
understood that they at once adopted
heroic measures to counteract the bad ef-
feet How successful they were in this
was best shown by the murmurings of dis
content and even open denunciation that
heard all sides last night about
the hotel lobbies and other public places
where Democrats congregated TO discuss
the situation.
The revelation of this alleged duplicfty
on the part of Hoffman and the pro-
nounced rebellion against Keach's course
in using the party organization and his
power as chairman to further the candi-
dacy of Hoffman have combined to create
panic among the Reach Hoffman forces

ize that they are in imminent danger OF
defeat in spite of all their wel-laid plans
and hard work, that the fight VIII not be
won until the votes are counted and Holtz-.
man is declared the nominee Saturday and
that they must spare neither time. energy
nor money IL they expect 10 be successful.
COUNCIL OF WAR
Accordingly a council OF war was he'd
last night in Holtzman's office at which the
situation was canvassed thoroughly and
plans made for more compact organiza-
tion and extension of the working forces.
The conferees were brought face to face
with the fact that scores OF men whom they
have relied on TO assist at the primaries
tomorrow night and at the convention next
day have deserted them and that their
places must be filled Immediately The word
will go forth to-day into every precinct that
the work must be taken up at once syste-
matically and that IL will not do TO wait
until tomorrow TO round up the vote. The
barrel will be tapped little earlier than
had been expected. although the distribu-
tion of the 'sinews" has been going
quietly on small scale ali week. Henry
Warrum is master of the exchequer. IL Is
said, and is considered valuable man In
the place.
In this connection the comment was made
last night that IL seemed peculiar 10 see
