II.
the main interest in the above list of ap-
pointees lies III what Mr.. Whitman has re-
Trained from doing.
The new District Attorney has refused to
appoint John Palmieri. indorsed and rein
dorsed both by Mr.. Parsons and Mr. Hearst
Mr.. Palmieri is not the only one indorsed
both by Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Parsons that
has been turned down by Mr.. Whitman.
AS matter of fact, Mr. Whitman broke
off consultations with the organization lead
ers a week ago, and half a dozen recon-
mendations by President Parsons have been
disregarded in the appointments.
The Palmieri case was unusual on ac-
count of tie fact that he is prominent in
italian circles and has been a candidate
for Office on both the Hearst and Repub-
Ican tickets. Mr.. Hearst depends on him
TO a large extent to keep the Italian voters
in line for the Civic Alliance. When Mr..
Palmieri learned that he could not possibly
obtain place on Mr.. Whitman's staff he
withdrew his letter of application.
To make 1t clear To Mr.. Parsons that he
is willing to recognize the Republican or
ganization when practicable Mr.. Whitman
appointed Henry D. Sayer. of Mr.. Parsons's
law office. chief clerk. at 5000. Mr.. Sayer
has been at work under the guidance of
Chief Clerk Henneberry for ten days
Il said during the canvass that | would
not appoint or reappoint Tammany men on
my staff" said Mr.. Whitman yesterday.
by that l meant men so bound up with
the Tammany organization that they might
be influenced in their official duties ! shall
adhere to that decision. Some of the men
reappolnted are Democrats, but over and
above their Democracy is their sense of
duty to the public. as demonstrated by long
and honorable service in the District At
torney's office.
THE appointments announced to-day do
not complete my staff. but they come pretty
near doing So After the first of the year
I probably will appoint one or two more
deputy assistants. Later / may appoint a
woman as deputy assistant to assist in work
in the Children's Court, if ! can find the
right sort Of woman lawyer"
Two or three of the staff whose
names were announced yesterday by Mr..
Whitman have not been assigned as yet
and they do not know whether they are 10
be full assistants at $500 a year or depu-
ty assistants at less salaries.
The District Attorneys staff is composed
Of nine full assistants and about thirty
deputy assistants The assistants receive
$1,000 each but the salaries of the deputies
range from $4,000 10 $4,000. The list of
appointments and reappontments made by
Mr.. Whitman yesterday includes eight as
sistants. leaving one to be appointed after
the first of the year. The Hearst people
want another assistant. and may get il, but
there is no likelihood that Mr.. Palmieri
will be the man
