MAYOR SCHMITZ CASE.
Many Names Connected With His
Probable Successor

SAN FRANCISCO. July 15.-Although 1T
was said last night by members of the
graft prose cution that in all probability
the new mayor would be chosen today,
they refused to reveal the identity of the
citizen selected for the position. Rumor
had connected at least half a dozen we'll
known persons with the Office, but de-
! malls have been made IN the majority of
cases.
The first feature Of the program ar
ranged by the prosecution Is the resigna-
ton Of Charles Boxton as mayor. This
is 10 take place at todays meeting Of the
board Of supervisors.
The board is then to elect a mayor. choos-
ing some citizen previously agreed upon
by the alleged graft prosecution. Boxton's
resignation will retire him to private life,
leaving fifteen boodling supervisors to be
forced out by the prosecutions. The fifteen
are to resign soon as the new mayor is
elected
Counting the Boxton vacancy the chief
executive to be named today will have
sixteen places the board to fill. which
duty will not be delayed any longer than is
absolutely necessary. In the naming of
new board Of supervisors the new mayor is
expected to give recognition to both the
labor and business interests. Next Will
come the removal of number Of commits
soners. The police commission, II 10 ex-
pected. will be first to go. This will mean
the early decapitation of Chief OF Police
Oman.
District Attorney Langdon says the new
mayor of San Francisco will have free
hand to name q new board of supervisors
and to clean out various municipal commits
siOnS now filed with politicians appointed
by Schmitz and Rueff. Langdon said:
1.-THE appointment of mayor by me was
the only solution of the municipal problem
when merchants and labor leaders refused
to select delegates to hold convention
Once in office the new mayor VIII have
everything in his own hands, and l ana
everybody else connected with the graft
prosecution will be through with the ad-
ministration of the city once and for all
The supervisors will resign as soon as re-
uuested and 1t will be up to the new mayor
to replace them. l will have nothing what
ever to do with nominating men TO fill
places nor will tamper with the reorgan-
ization of the different city departments.
Ex-Mayor Phelan is the most prominent
man who has been suggested for mayor.
but his antagonism to labor unions is SO
strong that Langdon may fear to select
him.
