CITY HALL GOSSIP
Democratic Aldermanic Caucus Tonight-The Chairman ship of AIdermanic
 Committee.

Although Mayor Wilson has declar- ed that he will not announce his ap- pointments of chairmen of various all dermanic committees until he hands them to the Common Council on its first meeting in December, it is being whispered that Alderman Bernard MacFayden will be the next chair man of the streets and sidewalks com mittee. As the plan is now Alderman Daniel E. Walker of the Fourth dis trict will not be renamed chairman of this committee. Instead the Re publicans have agreed to re-e1ect AL derman Walker, president of the Board of Aldermen. A meeting cf the Democratic aldermen is to be held in the city clerks office tonight and Alderman Thomas Reddy of the Sev- enth district, it is said, will proba blv be named as the Democratic candidate for president of the board.
 It is rumored that some of the Democrats will not attend the cau- GUS and those who stay away will join the Republicans in eIecting AL dernnan Walker.
 Alderman Paul l.. Miller will probably be named chairman of the ordinance commnnittee and also a member of the miscellaneous commit tee.
 If Alderman Oliver c. Cole is not named chairman of the committee on fire department he will probably be named a member of this committee.
 Alderman WenzeI G. Steigler is said to be slated for the chaIrnanship of the committee on sewers and Alder man William B. Primrose for the committee on lamps.
