most official directness yesterday the
announcement of Mayor McClellan's
intention to be almost absolutely In

Satisfied that he had been elected by
Republican and independent voters

clusion of the last
The leaders were only partly pre-
pared for this by the Mayors speech
Of acceptance at Carnegie Hail.
Their fears had been made stronger
when he differed with Charles F.
Murphy over the question OF fndors-
ing District Attorney Jerome and
they were prepared for the worst
when, in his midnight statement of
Tuesday. the mayor declared every
promise have made during the cam
paign will keep S IS
The worst came yesterday, and It
was hinged on the paragraph In the
speech OF acceptance where he said
that II elected mo amount Of clamor
without or within the organization
would force him TO appoint to ofiice
any person he thought unfit or to re-
tain in oiiice any person In whom he
did not have confidence.
The reafirmance OF this declarn-
ton went to Tammnny Hall yester-
day afternoon through friends Of the
mayor. pretending to speak for him.
They said that John I. Oakley. most

The mayor himself would not speak

when asked about the election.
Asked directly about appointments
