George W. Perkins. Arthur Woods and
Raymond h. Fosdick as possibilities
While it Is true that the name OF Mr.
Perkins has been mentioned in all seri-
business for the place, few can see how
he could bring himself to accept it,
Many friends OF the Mayor have urged
upon him the great executive ability OF
Mr.. Perkins and the fact that his name
would add prestige to the administration
Mr.. Perkins has been careful not TO deny
that he would take the post. However
only few days ago he said he could not
see how any man of spirit could be Com
missioner while his hands were tied by
the risht of members Of the force TO
court review
NJ. Woods has had experience as
deputy in the Police Department and Mr.
Fosdick has made a special study Of po-
lice conditions both here and abroad.
There is no question that the Mayor is
keenly disappointed over the failure of the
bill 10 pass. From the moment OF his
election he hoped to get Colonel Goe,hals
for Police Commissioner. He urged him
TO take the appointment when he visited
Panama on his vacation. Later Mr.
Perkins made a special trip to the isthmus
to see the colonel and brought back
letter from Goethals. In this letter the
colonel promised to take the place after
the completion OF the canal. If the law
was so amended that the Commissioner
had absolute power of discipline unham-
pered by a court review and II he could
secure his retirement from the army.
No time was lost in sending TO Albany
bills that abolished the court OF review of
dismissals by the Police Commissioner.
The MAYOR consented to several amend
ments. so that the bill finally provided for
board Of review The decision Of this
board could be overruled by the Mayor.
however That was the point TO which
the Mayor stuck. He would not give up
that power.
Friends of the Mayor fear that the fail
ire Of the police bill Will make the 'sys-
TEN" more arrogant than ever.

Ex Chairman HOtChkiss
Starts Campaign for
Change of Name.
WOULD BRING NEW
BLOOD, SAY OTHERS
Sure 1t Will Be as Candidate of
New Party That Roosevelt
Will Run in 1916.

Albany. March 4.-Colonel Roosevelt
will run for President in 1916 not on the
Progressive ticket but at the head OF
new party that is 10 be formed then and
called the Liberal party.
This was the declared belief Of one OF
the national leaders OF the Progressive
party, William II. Hotchkss. former
chairman OF the National Progressive
State Committee Of New York expressed
in the course Of an interview with The
Tribune correspondent. In his belief Mr..
Hotchkiss is not alone. for one leading
Progressive Assemblyman here tonight
said A change in name was inevitable.
Mr. Hotchkiss said ne did not believe
the movement started in Chicago two
years ago could continue under its pres
ent name. one big reason advanced BY
followers Of Colonel Roosevelt as to why
n change in name H. desirable. he added,
is because that is regarded As the only
certain way Of infusing new blood into
the party.
The former chairman OF the New York
State Committee Of the Progressive party
believes the anti-reactionaries in both the
Democratic and Republican parties will
flock TO Colonel Roosevelts support when
the new party is formed.
The Liberal party. as Mr.. HotcEkiss be
lieves it will he named. Will not be iu
active operation until the moment Colonel
Roosevelt Is formally placed in The race
.;.r
explaining why a change OF name IS de
sirable. Mr.. Hotchkiss said:
The name Liberal party will mean
more 10 uaturalized American citizen
than the name Progressive party Ia
most republican countries the two parties
are the Conservative and the. Liberal.
The latter il the one TO which nearly all
our foreign population belonged on the
other side. and the new name Will APP
peal 10 them.
"MorcOver. the auti-reactionaries o. the
two old parties will join rs in the new
party. and the movement started 10y colo
mel Roosevelt I'm 49, vii he continued
under the new name.
Mr. Hotchkiss left here for New Yorh
this afternoon. 10 is believed he has been
spreading the gospel of the new party
among the Bull Moose men here.
Just what Mr.. Hotchkiss's views are
toward the fiat ISSUED by George ". Per

The Manor refused 20 say whether or
rot he had any one else I'm mind for Po-
lice Commissioned, now that Colonel
Goethals had passed beyond the realm of
possibility. As matter Of fact, il IS
known that the Mayor has given this side
of the problem little consideration up TO

the bill would go through some wa or
other.
There was much speculation as to
whether Commissioner Mckay would 20

that whenever Colonel
GQethals got ready TO come he was TO

desired Now that Colonel Goethals can
not come the question is whether the
Mayor will retain Mckay or find a new
man. There was a report last night hiatt
Mckay would not last long.
Some Of the Mayors friends hold that
Mckay Is really a relic Of the Waldo ad-
and as sucn should not be
allowed to remain AT the head OF the
force permanently Others declare that
