The final decision in some cases de-
.,ds upon whether men TO whom ap-
f,at,repts have been offered consent
take them. For instance, it was
med on excellent authority yester-
-. that Or. :. :. Goldwater, a trus-
I'D sunerintendent of Mount SINAI
,5as,;tal. has been asked to become
18th Commissioner. Mr.. MltcheI
,ts the man at the head of this de-
.,.rent TO devote all his time to IT,
- was question in Or. Gold
rater's mind as to whether he viii be
sbe TO do that.
II vas also said that w. Cameron
ro,bes former Governor General OF
.ha philippines, had been asked to he
po,,ce Commissioner and has the offer
rnder consideration.
General Roe a Possibility
vaior-General Charles Francis Roe

,,,nal Guard Of this state, Is under
.,-ious consideration for this Place.

law making such retirement COM
,,,,sorv after the age Of sixty-two.
y was reported that a General
vumphries" had been thought of for
,be place. Some persons who tried
u discover just who the man meant
vos came to the conclusion that 1t
might be Captain Chauncey Benton
Hpmphries. l. :. a, a friend of John
D Rockefeller, jr., now stationed at
Niagara Falls.
others suggested that General George
Y. Harries. who for some years has
been commander Of the national
rpard in the District Of Columbia,
would make an ideal man for Police
Commissioner.
Major John c. Groome, head of the
Pennsylvania Constabuary, had re-
fused TO consider the place, according
10 report.
Mr.. Mitchell always has William j.
FIvnn up his sleeve. Mr.. Flynn IS
anxious to come back to the Police De-
partment here if he could be assured
a leave Of absence from the Secret
Service. 1t is possible. even, that II
Mr. Mitchell does not find it necessary
10 make Flynn head Of the department
he may have him as First Deputy
Commissioner.
Cabot Ward. lawyer. Of No. 81 Llb-
uty street, will probably be Park Com
missioner. Il is barely possible that
Mr. Mitchell will give that place to Or.
Henry Moskowitz. in which case he VIII
make Mr.. Ward Fire Commissioner, ac-
cording 10 report. Mr. Ward was grad
uated from Harvard in 1898. He went
10 Porto Rico as general auditor ana
later became secretary Of the island.
At one time he was acting Governor.
He is q member Of the Republican
County Committee from the 25th As
sembly District, but has never been
prominent I'm the organization. Mrs.
Ward is a member Of the William Bay
ard Cutting family.
Dark Horse Possible.
The most acute politics is being
played now in connection with the
Office Of Corporation Counsel. mar

yesterday that i'm his opinion the story
in regard 10 the attempt Of Montgom-
ery Hares friends 20 block the ap-
Dointment Of George V. Mullan had
been given out for the purpose Of in
jpring both men and Of advancing the
interests OF a third candidate
When the slate comes out it may
look something like the following, un-
