SAN FRANCISCO, July l5.-Although It
was said last night by members of the graft
prosecution that in all probability the new
mayor would be chosen today, they refused
to reveal the Identity of the citizen Sc
lected for the position Rumor has con-
nected at least a half dozen well-known
persons with the office, but denials have
been made in the majority of cases. The
first feature of the program arranged by
the prosecution is the resignation OF
Charles Boxton as mayor. This is to take
place at today's meeting OF the Board Of
Supervisors. The board is then TO elect
mayor, choosing some citizen previously
agreed upon by the leaders of the graft
prosecution. Boxtons resignation will re-
tire him to private life. leaving fifteen
boodIing supervisors to be forced out by
the prosecutions The fifteen are to resign
as soon as the new mayor is elected.
Counting the Boxton vacancy the chief
executive TO be named today will have
sixteen places on the board to fll, 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 20 give recognition to both the

is necessary. The jury will be compelled
to camp out on improvised cots in one Of
