Nov. Of course, everyone of those
present had read Gormly's startling
announcements of his candidacy. Most
OF them had read them with amuss-
ment; only the most president with
any feeling of alarm, and ever that
feeling was not sufficiently deep to
have awakened any special degree of
anxiety. Yet the fact that each one
had been summoned to Haldane's
house. the politicians through Lifey
and the flnanciers through Haldane
himself. rather startled them.
The eight men assembled In the
spacious library Of the Fifth Avenue
house. The curtains were d~iscreetly
drawn. The men had arrived singly
and at different times. They were
admitted by Haldane's confidential
secretary In pervon. Cigars and
liquors were provided, and the eight,
from all sorts of differing social ranks.
mingled freely together on terms Of
absolute equality.
The district attorney, for instance,
was q graduate Of Yale. Haldans him
self had come from Harvard. The
mayor was = product Of Columbia.
Ltffey had started In ~ Z poor Irish
immigrant. The chief Of police had
been a ~saloonkesper and finally the
colonel of q National Guard regiment.
Mcdonald was a Scotsman whose
shrewdness and ability had won him
q high position among the financial
magnates. Van Slyke belonged to an
old Dutch family and had inherited
a vast fortune, which his adroit man
sgement had tremendously increased.
They represented American life with
its opportunities and its possibilities.
Gentlemen" began Haldane quietly,
Il have called you here, az you have
doubtless surmised. because Of the
announcement Of the candidacy of
George Gormly for mayor"
DO you think it's of sufficient i'm
portance, Mr.. Haldane. for such an
conference as this is?" asked
the boss.
Il certainly do. Liffey." was the re-
ply.
