WOULD FILL VACANCIES
Aldermen Make Elections Spe-
Cial Order for Next Week.
BOWLING UTTERS THREAT
Tammany Man Says Fusionists
Must Agree to Democrat
for Hagenmiller's Place.

After a threat by Alderman Downing,
leader OF the Tammany forces in the
Board OF Aldermen, that he would not
permit any election unless the fusion
members consented TO the election of a
Democrat TO succeed Alderman Hagen
| miller. the board yesterday made as a
special order of business for the meeting
| next week the election of men TO I'll the
three vacancies in the board
The places vacant were all occupied by
fusionists Alderman Hagenmiller re-
signed early in the summer but the board
has put off electing his successor. Alder
man Bryant Willard died on New Year s
Eve. The third vacancy was caused by
the conviction of Alderman Percy H..
Davis Of attempted extortion. lie sent in
his resignation yesterday. but that was
unnecessary, as the conviction acted au-
tomatically to separate him from the
board.
The charter provides that when va
cancy occurs it shall be filed by the cleo
ton OF person Of the same political
party as the last incumbent by majority
OF the members elected to the board.
The present membership Of the board
- SNNNhAN a iiAyoiiNy Va '''N'' -
thirty-six. Tie fusionlsts. with the loss
Of the three members. have only thirty
five members while the Democrats have
just thirty-six. The latter thus can pre-
vent an election if they desire.
The fusionists could have prevented this
predicament had they elected a fusion
successor 10 Hagenmiller months ago.
They paused to argue with the Demo-
Gratis, however. over an opinion OF the
Corporation Counsel, which was inter
preted by the Democrats TO mean that
Hagenmiller's place would have TO be
taken by a Democrat When he was
nominated lie was an enrolled Republican.
Since then he has enrolled as a Demo-
crat. He was elected on the fusion ticket.
however. having been nominated by the
Republicans and Endorsed by the indie
pendence League.
Under the charter the Board Of Alder
men is the judge Of its own members. and
the fusionists, with their majority Of two
weeks ago. might have elected a Repub-
lcan, under their contention that Hagen
miller, being elected as a fusionist, the
Board of Aldermen had no right to over
elected him by putting a Democrat in his
place
There was much wrangling over the
point yesterday, and Alderman Bowling
declared fatty that unless the fusionists
would agree 20 a Democrat in Hagenmil-
ler's place he would hold up all the cleo
tons.
Alderman Folks, the leader Of the fu-
sionists, nominated oscar Igstaedter to
succeed Alderman Willard. Jacob f. Key
ser to succeed Davis and Charles II. Roth
fielder TO .ucceed Hagenmiller. When
these nominations were made Alderman
Devine was so enraged because he felt
he was being sighted that he cried out:
Unless these nominations are sent 70
my Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons l win take no more orders from you.
Mr.. Folks. although am fusionist.'

the cemetery site bounded by First ave-
nue., Avenue a. 18th and 18th streets.
which was sold by the trustees Of st.
Patrlck's Cathedral a few months ago

TO BREAK YONKERS STRIKE
Whitridge Plans to Run Union
Cars Through Trouble Zone.

The most important development yes
terday the fifth day Of the trolley strike
In Yonkers, was the report that Presl-
dent Whitridge plans to break the strike
BY operating the cars Of the Union Rail-
road in Yonkers, first starting with the
Broadway line and sending the cars
north from the city line to Getty Square
and then sending cars over all the other
lines. II Is claimed that there Is nothing
In the franchises prohibiting the Yonkers
Railroad Company from entering into 4
contract with a nelghboring trolley line
for the operation of cars. and II Is fur
Their contended that by sending men from
the Union road Mr.. Whitridge can say
that he Is not sending strikebreakers In,
but merely transferring men from one OF
his lines to another.
The question OF the constitutionality OF
the ordinance requiring a man to have
fifteen days experience would enter into
this plan, and steps are being taken TO
have the courts pass on this question.
The Union Railroad men are not organ
lied.
The mems offer to return to work al
once on an arbitration basis has aided
them materially. In his reply to Mayor
Lemons letter of Saturday, In which ar
bitration is recommended. President
Frederick w Whitridge said he cannot
see the advantage In mediation. Stimuli
taneously with the receipt Of the letter
by the Mayor, each OF the strikers re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Whitridge In
which he asks permission to make an
examination Of the financial condition OF
their union. He informs the men that
they are mistaken about the attitude OF
the company.
William G.. Rogers. OF Albany, chief
OF the Board of Mediation and Arbitra-
ton Of the State Labor Department, ar
rived yesterday He is in Yonkers for
the purpose OF trying TO settle the strike.
Shortly after he arrived he was in con-
ference with William b. Fitzgerald. ma
tional organizer OF the Trolleymen's
Union II was decided that Mr.. Rogers Is
to call on President Whitrdge In Manhat-
tan tomorrow and try to induce him to
arbitrate the differences between him
and the men.
