Little Enthusiasm Shown.
There was little enthusiasm shown in
the making of the above endorsements
and very little interest taken in the
whole matter by the members of the
County Committee, so little that no
quorum appeared at Republican head
,narters to do business. 1t had been
planned to have full meeting of the
county Committee and of the Repub-
lean Supervisors At half past
ppeared, including Chairman Crabbe
nd Secretary Eli Crawford. An hour
ater there were eight committeeman
lifting around, representing eleven in
+ II through proxies, and two Supervi-
ors, Kane and AHA, had appeared.
hen Chairman Crabbe called the Coun-
Committee meeting off and announc-
d meeting of the Executive Commit
y ee. Those present were F. F. Fernan-
es, Clarence H. Cooke (proxy), George
Earker, C. L. Crabbe, Charley Coster,
Ii Crawford, Charles Arnold and Jim.
Iy Holt.
The endorsements requested were
wen in a perfunctory sore of a way
nd the only name that aroused any
enthusiasm was that of Captain Nahora
ipa. The Captain himself watched
he proceedings from the gloom of the
ljoining apartment.
Supervisors in Caucus.
The Republican Supervisors had a
rivate little meeting of their own yes
rdayafternoon, meeting at two O'Clock
nd remaining in session for a couple
hours. They were all present and
scussed various ways and means to
'set the claims of the Mayor to be-
1 G. the whole works in the municipal
vernment as the appointing power.
Fern Working on Committees.
Mayor Fern is at work on his com
tees, although he will make no an
uncement of names until tomorrow
Prning, probably just before the
ace. 1t is thought, from what little
leaked out of the results of the
hsultations between the Mayor and
members of the Democratic County
mmlttee, tnaC tne announcement Oh
personnel of the various committees
u be almost as much surprise to
Republicans as was the announce
MT of his list of appointees for the
nicipal departments and it is rather
missed that the Republican majority
| find it harder to pass their care
ly prepared rules and under them
ppoint the committees than is being
,ected.
t is undisputed that the Mayor has
right now to name the committees,
it is likewise undisputd that the
Iervisors have the right to create
S and change the committees just
loon as they see fit. If, however, it
lot going to profit some of the Re.
leans to upset the Mayor appoint
is, it is quite possible that these
