Favors--Othsr Action.

That there is considerah e dissen-
sion among the membefs of the
Board of Health becameS apparent
last night when the conf 1nissioners
held caucus lasting fromSS o'clock
until $50, preceding the regular
meeting. The session was held be-
hind closed doors, but as loud, angry
voices drifted out to the abte-cham-
ber, the newspaper men ann1 citizens
present became aware of Sthe fact
that the board was tryingSto agree
upon clerk for the department s
Office in city hall.
Edward Gluck Applies.
Commissioner George Wustefeld,
who, with President Justus kaletsch,
urged the appointment of Andrew
MeCabe, Jr., of Prospect street, some
time ago, took sides against Eommis-
sioner Leo Schwartz and his Aom1nee
last night. While the name Sof Mr..
Schwartzs nominee was moth made
public, nor could 1t be learned from
the commissioners today, 1t Is rAder-
stood to be Edward Gluck, off 929
Smith street, whose application was
read in open meeting by Clerk viii
bur LaRoe. Upon motion of Nj
ferred to committee of the whole.
According to reliable information
received today, an appointment will
be made at the next meeting, June

Wustefeld will withdraw his objec-
tions Immediately upon investigating
the character Of the proposed ap-
pointee. The appointment was not
To- s{ irh4 Nv
field requested week in which to
ascertain If the applicant is fitted for
the duties.
Mr.. Gluck said in his letter to the
board that he has served as manager
of New York firm for some time,
and also has had considerable expe-
rience as secretary and clerk, hold
ing the former position In the Y. M.
H. A., of this city. The letter furth-
er stated the applicant has lived in
Perth Amboy fifteen years and will
furnish references If so desired. He
is brother If Morris Gluck, local
civil engineer with offices in the
Scheuer building.
Behind Closed Doors.
Words flew thick and fast behind
the closed doors last night. Repeat
edly the voice of Mr.. Wustefeld
could be heard saying. "Give me a
week to look into the character of
this man, that is what you (evident-
ly meaning Schwartz) asked and re-
ceived on the previous occasion"
Mr.. Schwartz could be heard to
deny, as his voice raised in explana-
ton, that he had no intention Of
"railroading" his candidate through
or "ramming him down the throat
of the other commissioners" to use
the words of Commissioner Wuste-
field. Mr.. Schwartz was heard to say
further that II am a party man and
believe this man is a party man,
too"
Commissioners P N Kennedy,
Robert w. Mean and President JUS
tus Kaletsch, the other board mem
bers present, took very little part
in the discussion, but it is understood
Mr.. Kennedy stands firm for Mr.
Schwartz's nominee. These two
gentlemen held together when Nc
Cabe's name was proposed, and are
credited with still holding to the
same course. Mr.. Macan several
times was heard to urge, put the
question to vote and also sug-
gested, chow much are we going to
pay him?" so his attitude can easily
be surmised. President Kaletsch IA
vors McCabe, who has not a ghost
Of show now, 1t is said. This np-
plicant is vice-president of the
Fourth Ward Democratic Club, of
which Mr.. Wustefeld is secretary.
