ORMOND +. HUNT
FOR HALLY's JOB
Mayor Thompson Has an Eye on
Former Prosecutor for Corpora
ton Counsel.

Let me give you quiet, straight
tip" said a city hall habitue, tues
day. THE man who will step into
Pat Hally's shoes, when he leaves
the corporation counsel's Office, next
January, to take his place on the cir-
cult bench, will be a Republican.
And there's a mighty good chance
that his name will be Ormond +.
Hunt.
Mayor Thompson is learning
some things He's a heap wiser than
when he was mayor before. He's
beginning to realize that being rigid
partisan isn't getting anyone much
these days; that people are beginning
to sit up and take notice in the mat
ter of government, municipal, state
and national; that they are far less
prone than formerly TO attach I'M
portance to party tags. What they
want is efficient service, and public
officers who can deliver the goods
are going to be allowed to stay on
the Job just aobut as long as they
wish Thompson realizes that he's
got to have q cracker-jack TO take
Hally's place, an aggressive, tena-
cious, sound lawyer, who can fight
like fury.
He's gone over the Democratic
list, and what does the scrutiny re-
veal? Just about one man fitted Tor
the place-Alfred Lucking. But he's
enjoying high-grade practice that
yields him much more than the cor
poration counsel's office pays. So
he's not to be considered, and the
mayor is forced TO turn to the Repub.
licans. Hunt is the man on whom
he has his eye. In fact Hally has
recommended Hunt. The mayor has
very high opinion of Hunts ability.
He's a man after the mayors own
heart--a born fighter. And what's
more he's about the most successful
trial lawyer in the city. He, too, Is
probably making more money in pri-
vate practice than he would by TAX
ing Hally's job. but he's got little
weakness for the limelight and might
be induced TO make some sacrifice.
Anyway Hunts going TO be the
next corporation counsel, If he'll take
the job"

men to q man. The names Of the
jurors and the cases they officiated I'm,

The investigation also shows that
a number Of the members of juries

some weeks ago for a short holiday
abroad
DURING the past week some slight
- changes have been made in the ar
rangement of certain exhibits in the Cor
coran Gallery, which have done much to
improve the effect. From the Barge room
the large bronze. 'Theseus and the Cen
taur," has been removed to the gallery
on the second floor devoted to paintings
by modern French artists, the men Of the
Barbixon school and others who were for
the most part contemporaries OF Barge.
In spirit this piece Of sculpture well &C
cords with the paintings with which it is
brought in contact and it's color and
form lend accent and interest to. them.
More and more the value of environment
Is being understood, and the art of dis
play developed. With the same purpose,
that of enhancing effect, the Sun Vow"
by Hermon A. MacNeil. has been remov-
ed from u lower to an upper gallery.
This has been placed with American
paintings and those OF comparatively re-
cent date. The CorcOran Gallery has
