HAYES ASKED TO QUIT
Mayors Friends Say His Resigna-
ton Has Been Requested.

Fire Commissioner Hayes spent part OF th'
afternoon yesterday at the Mayors once III '''
City Hall but the Mayor was not there Inc com
missioner had long talk with William A WINE
and Frank NJ OBrien of the Mayors staff and
John II. O'Brfen, Commissioner of Water supp!
Gas and Electricity.
II was said by the Mayors friends last hlsh
that more than a week ago Commissioner hay es
received a request from the Mayor to turn in his
resignation He had not complied with the reQues'
at the close of business yesterday.
There is no news ebout Hayes The jury is sun

Commissioner John v Ccggey of the Department
OF Correction has made out his resignation ana

counts who are investigating Park Commissioners

At the City Hall It Is believed that Senator John

Foley helped TO beat him. Coggey in the Senate
convention threw his support TO Wagner, the
Murphy candidate, helping to defeat Mccall.
A rumor that went the rounds yesterday was
that the Mayor would appoint William LeaTy 70
succeed Commissioner Coggey. Mr.. Leary is now
State Superintendent of Elections. His appoint
rnent by the Governor caused coolness between
the Governor and Herbert Parsons and Timothy L.
Woodruff who requested the appointment Of Lewis
NJ Swazey. Of Brooklyn. There is nothing to show
that Mr. Leary likely 10 lose his state office or
that he would accept appointment from Mayor
Mcclellan with the knowledge that It might last
only one year.

CRUISE TO BE COSTLY
Government Mag Pay $4,000 to
Bring Ships Through Strait.

Considerable interest has been manifested recent
" in shipping circles of this port concerning the
problem that confronts the government In the pur-
chase OF the steamers Shaw1nut and fremont, one
of which will take the place of the steamer Finance
which was sunk in the Main Ship Channel on
Thanksgiving Day.
The government has announced that the steamers
would be purchased for S,157Ooo and be added 10
the feet OF the Panama Railroad Steamship Com
pany, operating between New York and Cristo-
bal. the Caribbean port of the canal zone The
task of getting the steamers here from Seattle,
where they tied is one that VIII involNe
considerable expense. The Boston Steamship
Company which owns the vessels, has consented 10
sell at the price named If the government will
consider them delivered at Seattle, but If delivered
in New York the company asks $4,000 more
The passage down the Pacific and through the
Strait OF Magellan is not wholly devoid OF
risks but fnasmuch the government has sent
practically every kind of craft through the strait
including tugs mine planters. nghtships. cruisers
and battleships, 1t is believed that the terms OF
purchase will cali for delivery at Seattle and thai
the government will itself take the steamers from
Seattle to New York.
It rumored in this city yesterday that
crew would likely be selected in Seattle and
that Captain Mowbray who commanded the FL
nance, would probaIy go to Seattle with his chlel
engineer and take the fremont this port 1t was
said that the government would most likely load
the vessels with a big cargo Of lumber at Puget
Sound and deliver 1t at Cristobal for construction
work at the sthmus.
BY an odd coincidence the International Mercan-
tile Company, owners Of the White Star freighter
Georgia, which sank the Finance. offered to sell
the government two steamers of the Red Star Line,
but the size of these vessels too great ana te
offer not entertained.
