OF the committee on contested seats. Mr..
Hauser's nomination for State Treasurer

at the disposition of William j. Corners,
Charles +. Murphy, Patrick f.. McCabe and
Joseph Cassidy. and one of Mr.. Murphy's
friends. speaking of this matter at the
Waldorf-Astoria yesterday afternoon. said:
You may put il dow "a certain that il
Mr.. Hearst is elected he IL to appoint Mr..
Nixon State Superintendent of Public
Works. Mr.. Murphy is quite willing to
give Mr.. Hearst four places on the Supreme
Court Justice ticket in the county and ever
half of the Senators and half of the Assem-
blymen in the county. for the reason that
those matters are of little Importance
when compared with the good things that
will come out of his control with the aid Of
Mr.. Corners, Mr.. Cassidy and Mr.. McCabe
Of the canal board and with Mr.. Nixon
empowered to hand out the contracts for
all work on the canal
All employed in the care and manage
ment of the canals, except those in the
department OF the State Engineer and
Surveyor are appointed by the Superin-
tendent of Public Works and are subject
TO suspension or removal by him. The
Superintendent Of Public Works also
awards all contracts for work on the canal
The State Engineer and Surveyor has
charge of all engineering in connection with
State work and has the appointment of
division engineers. resident engineers and
all subordinate engineers. Mr.. Skene,

the Department Of Highwa avs. Borough OF
Queens, and lives at All Lockwood street,
Long Island City. He was appointed on
March l, 1893, and his salary il $1,000 a year
He served under Borough Presidents Bow
lev and Cassidy and he was retained by
President Bermel when Cassidy wen out
! of Office on January /, 1905. In spite OF hi
retention he has stuck to Cassidy. He
was to have gone to the Buffalo conven,
ton with the regularly elected delegates
who were headed by Bermel, but on the
Saturday before the convention he sud
, denly announced that he would be unable
to accompany them. This was the day
on which Cassidy received a telephone
message from Charles F. Murphy TO go e
Tammany Hall and get his instruction
about making a contest against the regu-
lar delegates, who had a majority oil
over 5000 at the primary election. Ber-
mel's delegates were thrown out by Mr..
Murphy's committee on contested seats.
The Democrats at headquarters were
candid in saying that with Mr.. Hearst
elected the canal board would. together
with the Superintendent Of Public Works
furnish a political millennium to Mr.. Murphy
Mr.. Corners, Mr.. McCabe, Mr.. Cassidy anc
their adherents.
