noon. when asked what progress he was
making in his effort to defeat the ex-
tension OF the lease OF the city gas works.

saying he had received assurances from
manys councilmen who had voted for the
lease last week that they would sup
port him In his veto.
Leaders Of the Republican organiza-

tinue to remain silent. There are, how
ever signs. that some Of the council-
men are breaking away under the tre-
mendous pressure of their constituents,

mayor. The record up to this evening
shows that the mayor has ten select coun-
cilmen and twenty members of the Com
mon Council with him. In Select Coun-
Gil there are forty-two members To
