REPORT IS DENIED
Auditor of State Says He Did
Not Promise Job to Has
tings of Hammond.
RESULT TO PROVE SAME
Special Correspondent.


Indianapolis, March 25.-Auditor OF
State John c. Billheimer says the state
ment that w. J. Hastings, of Ham
mond, is promised a job in his office,
is not correct. He says that he has
not made any promises to anyone. and
that Hastings is merely an applicant
for place in the office and that he
has the same chance as any, of the 9TH
ers of the applicants for Jobs. This
is entirely different from the reports
put out before Billheimer returned
from Detroit yesterday morning. Up
to that time it was said that Hastings
had the promise of job. and Hast
ings said so himself. He came to town
for the purpose Of taking job, SO 1t
was understood.
Billheimer does not say that Hast
ings will not get the job he is looking
for. He merely says that no promises
have been made. Billheimer also re-
fuses to tell anything about the reor-
ganization of the force in his office.
He says that Harvey c. Cheney, of
Lafayette, who came into the office the
other day and took William H.
Quick's desk as settlement clerk. is
there to do some special work, but he
does not tell how long Cheney will
stay. And he does not tell what has
become of Quick or whether he will re-
turn or not. In fact, there is an air
of secrecy about the whole business.
