W|TTPENN GETS
$4,000 PORT POST
THROUGH WILSON
Former Jersey City Mayor Is
Named Naval Officer of Port
of New York.
HIS POLITICAL PRESTIGE
NOW A PRIME QUESTION
Friends Believe His Advent Into
Federal Circles Won't Affect
GubernatoriaI Aspirations.
/ special to The Newark star.I


WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-H. Otto
Wittpenn, former mayor of Jersey
City, was nominated today for naval
officer at the New York Customs
House.
President Wilson issued state
ment, pointing out that as several
counties of New Jersey had been made
part of the New York customs dis
trict in the recent reorganization, it
was appropriate that New Jersey
should be represented.
Mr.. Wittpenn, with Thomas f.
Meaney, who was his private secre-
tary during his term as mayor, came
here today to confer with President
Wilson over the appointment which
the President has rendered Mr.. Witt
penn.
The President and the former
mayor met today to discuss the mat
ter. and little time was lost in reach
ing conclusion satisfactory to both
Prestige Is Discussed.
There is no cessation of specula-
tion as to how the appointment to the
Federal office will affect Mr.. Witt
in Hudson county, where under pres
ent conditions he occupies strong
position. He confesses to an am
bition to be the Democratic guberna-
torial candidate in 1916, when Presi-
dent Wilson will probably be a candi-
date for reelection, and United
States senator is to be chosen by
popular vote.
Will the duties of his new Office
cripple him or handicap his opera
tions? That is the question. Differ
ent views are entertained on this sub
ject.
Dudley MalOne's superior"
In his new office, with it's $4,000 an
nual salary, palatial quarters in The
Custom House at Bow
ing green. and 10 men under him,
Wittpenn will in sense be comp
troller of customs and auditor over
the new collector of customs, Dudley
Field Maloro, 1t is argued that he
will be in a better position than ever
to WELD political influence, with a
sway of remarkable limit His pre-
decessors, 1t is pointed out, were not
prevented by Federal rules from play
ing politics, so why should he be
curtailed in following precedent?
That Wittpenn will land Thomas II.
Meaney and George Egan i'll nice
berths if possible and at the earliest
opportunity is generally understood.
Army of Employees.
The army of employees under Mr..
Wittpenn will include messenger
boys, 2 other messengers, chief
faborers and 157 chiefs of divisions
and clerks, all working in the Gus
toms or with their work directed from
the customs house.
Each of the 40 subordinates is pro-
tected by the federal civil service law.
which means Wittpenn will not be
able at the outset to dispense any
patronage in the way of offices, but
