Difficulty IN Deciding on Mr.
PdrsOnss Successor.

Although the committee OF seven ap-
pointed TO consider the resignation OF Her
bert Parsons from the presidency OF the Re-
publican County Committee and TO recon-
mend a man TO succeed him has held but
one meeting. 1t has already developed that
70 find the man fitted 10 take UP the work
will be no easy task
It may be that the meeting OF the county
committee called for Monday 20 elect a
successor to Mr.. Parsons will have 20 be
postponed Progressive members Of the or
ganization believe that hasty action would
be unwise
The men who nave fought TO raise the
standard of the paSY organization here
will not, 1t is said. submit TO the selection
OF any man as party leader who is in any
way in sympathy with the regime of for
uer days Nor do they want a man who
will simply represent Mr. Parsons. These
members of the party recognize the great
amount Of work that the retiring president
OF the county committee has accomplished
They realize his worth as man and the
devotion that he has displayed as leader
But there are those who declare that the
party in this county. a party. has not
gained in popular strength as il should
have They point to the poor showing
made in the vote for Otto T. Barnard for
Mayor by the Republican districts in the
last election. and assert that the next lead
er or the party here must be man who
can build Up the Republican vote.
AT the hrst meeting OF the special COM
mittee a proposition was made to divide
the duties that have hitherto devoIved on
one man Mr.. Parsons was not only presi-
dent of the county committee. but also
chairman OF the executive committee and
for many years ii has been the custom for
one man 70 hold both Offices. AS a matter
of fact, the power lies in the executive COM
ulittee. and the man at the head OF that
body Is the real leader of the county for
the general committee has rarely failed 70
carry out the plans made by the executive
committee, which is made up OF the thirty
five district leaders.
The proposition TO elect different man
TO each Office did not meet with much
favor in the special committee And from
what could be learned last night it is likely
to meet with less favor among the mem
bers Of the party. II was pointed out that
under such an arrangement a high minded
man Of the progressive type in thorough
sympathy with the best sentiment or
the party. might. as president OF the county
committee, be a mere dgurehead- A man
VI ACoS H-O5ACoSiNC tOCd-S, JIG d--4cO with

tive committee could actually lead the or
ganization-
While a number of names OF men to
succeed Mr.. Parsons were suggested
when the special committee met on
Sunday night, there was no exhaustive
discussion OF any OF them Among
them were Lloyd c. Griscon. julius
NJ. Mayer. Job z. Hedges, ex-Aldernan B.

Congressman j. Van Vechten Olcott- II is
understood. however, that Congressman Oh

LOOK FOR COMET.
WW Be Visible IN the South
zcest Sh0rtLu After Sunset.

Professor Max Jacoby, the astronomer OF
Columbia University. told yesterday how TO
see the new comet recently discovered in
Africa, and known to astronomers as
Comet "A OF i9Io.'' It must be looked for
within a few minutes after sunset, be-
cause il sets soon after the sun itself
Look toward the southwest" said Pro-
fessor Jacoby, and II the sky is not OBJ
structed you will Immediately see Venus,
the largest and brightest heavenly body at
present near the sun. The comet will be
about half way between Venus and the
sun and nearly on a straight line between
the two.
Although not as bright a Venus the
comet will be easily visible TO the naked
eye II is much more plainly visible than
most Of the stars that are seen with the
naked eye. and will loom up in the dusk
long before many Of them come cut Look
for a bright body with a highly luminous
nucleus or head and a distinct tail. the lat
Ter pointing up, the head down"
Professor Jacoby said that these direc-
tons would not hold good for more than
two or three days, as the comets position
in space and the orbit in which il is NOV
ing have not yet been determined. He be-
heves, however, that the comet is moving
toward the sun and will grow more Iurni-
nous. It viii either be drawn into the suns :
mass or return TO obscurity, he said,
The tine for observation to-day will begin
at about ten minutes after five.

MANY HEADS FALL.
Nezg Water Commissioner At
tacks CrozCded PaWOU.

Commissioner Thompson OF the Depart
n1ent of Water Supply. who succeeded John
H O'Brien, friend of ex-Mayor Mcclellan,
as head Of that department. has found the
payrolls encumbered with scores of useless
employees. AS result of his Investigate ms
so far Commissioner Thompson has laid of
enough foremen, assistant forenen and la
borers to save the city wages at the rate
or S34,o00 d year.
The new Commissioner also expects TO
get rid of a number OF department en-
gineers. The engineering force will be con-
centrated under L NJ De Varona, chief en-
gineer of the department. These engineers
are in the classified Civil Service list. and,
having got an inkling of the plans of the
Commissioner. are organizing fight to re-
tain their places. But the Commissioner
expects to have little trouble, as he pro-
poses TO abolish their positions.
In reply TO a request from the Mayor.
the Commissioner wrote a letter satisfac-
torily explaining his action In it he says:
The men laid off have been foremen at S.
a day and assistant foremen at IS day,
with which the payroll was overloaded and
no services; six PAYERS, at s., where no
paving was done; useless horses and wag-
ons at S3 80 to s. a day, OF which there
I find there was one gang of nine labor
ers supervised by no less than one fore
man and i've assistant forenen. There was
another gang with one foreman, i've as
sistant foremen. three teams and one job
less carpenter, with but i've laborers as a
working force, while along the AQueducJ
and Central Park line there were ten sIok-
ers, drenlen and oilers, machinist's helper
and caulkers with no possible opportunity
to apply their trades, although regularly
drawing their pay.

helpers for cement work where there was
no work requiring their attention; eight
inspectors of pipe lines, pipes and hydrants
where there was no pipe laying being done
