places. That there is wide breach be
tween Mayor Pagan and the Republican
majority of the Police Board was gener-
ally admitted today. 1t may end in a
clash between the Mayor and the Re-
publican Organization and in that event
there would be lively times for the poll
ticians.
The appointments made by the Police
Board win 80 into effect next Monday.
Captain Harrington will go to the Mont
gomery street station and Captain Cox,
who is in command of that precinct, will
go to the Central.ayenue station.

HARRINGTON GETS

Sergeant Jeff Promoted
to the Captaincy Left
Vacant By Wohlle-
Len /, Death.
A SET BACK FOR FAeAN
Report Says the Mayor Re-
sorted to Threats in Urg-
ing Kelly But They
Were No Go.

AS predicted by .grhe News" the
Board of Police Commissioners last night
made Sergeant Charles Harrington cap
tain. to succeed the late Captain George
wohlleben of the Central avenue sta
tiOn.
Roundsman Edward O'Connor of the
Ocean avenue station was made sergeant
to succeed Harrington, and Roundsman
I Richard vobb Of the Montgomery street
station was appointed dsteetive to 6Il
the vacancy caused by the desth of
Michael McNally.
These appointments were made by
the votes of President Mitchell and
Commissioner Tilden. Republicans. Com
missioner McNulty, Democrat, and uncle
of Mayor Pagan, voted against them,
though he did not present any caRdi-
dates in opposition. The appointment
of Sergeant Harrington to the captaincy
was victory of the Republican organ
ization over Mayor Fasan, who asked
that the appointment begiven to Rounds
man James Kelly of the Central avenue
station After the death of Captain
Wohlleben, Mayor Pagan sent fer Presi-
dent Mitchell and explained his prefer
ence for K ally for the vacancy.

privilege of naming the new captain"
the Mayor is reported TO have said, "and
it is my wish that you present the name
of Ronndsman Kelly .
PFzgidsnE MTfcheifE Esaid he had given
his word to Sergeant Harrington and
that he could not comply with the May
or's request. Efforts to induce Presi-
dent Mitchell to drop Harrington and
take up Kelly were unayailing, and
Mayor Pagan is said to have gone so
far as to declare that unless his choice
was given the coveted place President
Mitchell need not expect a reappoint-
ment at the end of the present year
when his term expires.
President Mitchell appealed to Colonel
Dickinson and the other Republican
leaders and the upshot was that the or
ganizatidn backed him up in his stand
While the promotion of Sergeant Har-
rington had been looked for, there was
general surprise among the politicians
and members of the police department
when the appointments Of Roundsman
O'Connor and Roundsman yobb were
announced. Friends of Mayor Pagan
said that the Republican Commissioners,
or rather the Republican organization,
by theese appointments had completely
ignored him. 1t was known that the
Mayor, after having failed in his eff
fort TO to get the captaincy for Rounds
man Kelly, would have been content
were he made detective and Roundsman
Coughlan promoted to sergeant The or
