the State Capitol rebuilding job;
The refusal to appoint James T..

ico's. sometimes in East 18th street,
sometimes at the Marlborough Blen-
helm in Atlantic City, sometimes at the
Shinnecock Golf Club sometimes at the
Oakland Club, and sometimes at : Hot

and the public, but ! per cent to the
public and 80 per cent to Murphy. 1t

ordered that no bills should be paid
