Thomas r. Byrnes. who was reap
pointed State Tax Commissioner
against the protest of Mr. Osborn, for
years has been holding political office.
He is typical of the old line organiza-
ton leader, and is one OF the right
hand men of McCooey in Brooklyn.
Robert II. Roy and John F. Hylan,
named as county judges in Brooklyn,
have also been closely connected with
the organization
PIuns Go to Tammany.
While G. NJ s. Schulz, appointed to sue
coed John f. Eustis as Public Service
Commissioner here. has been popular
with all branches Of the party, he has al
ways been closely allied with the Tam
many organization and was its success
full candidate for Surrogate in Bronx
County last fall. Murphy wanted him
named as candidate for President Of The
Board of Aldermen. Those who know
him say he will not turn away from the
organization now just because he mas
been appointed TO the Public Service
/ Commission.
Chairman Osborn refused = discuss any
Of the details OF :he conference that pre-
/ oodnd tha auno,,rco meut NJ the Cow
ernor's appointments.
I From another man who returned from
/ Albany yesterday It was learned that the
| big fight was not over McCabe, out over
the public service place in this district
| Charles 9. Murphy's candidates were
George p. Hayes, Thomas J. Quinn and
Congressman Joseph A. Goulden. The
anti-Murphy candidates were Cyrus G..
Miller and Tenement House Commits
sioner John J. Murphy. After a long ar
gument the Governor decided on Schulz.
knowing that he was strong Tammany
man. but considering that he would not
be what he called an offensive faction
alist."
The man who gave the information
about the conference said Mr. Osborn did
not protest long over the McCabe appoint
ment after Governor Glynn said 1t was
purely personal.
Mr.. Osborn pointed out to the Gov
ernor that the appointment OF McCa9e
would likely bring out a storm of crit
icism.' this man stated. The Governor
replied that it was purely personal APP
pointment and that part of the 'uplitt'
/
ton outside Of the Governors office on
any of his appointments
The Governor said he would personally
guarantee that McCabe would make a
good record. Or. Osborn then replied
that it was true the Governor was solely
responsible for his appointments, and If
he put It on personal grounds thore
should be no outside interference"
William r. McCombs, chairman Of the
national committee. who has been asso-
ciated with Mr.. Osborn and Governor
Giynn in ''te "uplift' movement, refused
to comment in any way on the appoint
ment Of the Governor.
Surrogate Schulz denied last night a
foolish report that he would not accept
the place on the Public Service Commits
sion. He said he had not the slightest
idea that he was being considered until
he got telephone message from Albany
at $3.50 O'Clock on Friday night
Mayor Mitchell, who wanted Raymond
b. Fosdick appointed, would not comment
on the selection Of Mr.. Schulz. Commits
sioner Maltbie, the one anti-Tammany
member of the Public Service Commits
sion, was the only one at the Office Of the
commission yesterday. He said he had
nothing to say.
Doubt as to the legality of two Of Gov
ernor Glynn's appointments, Robert IL.
Roy and John F. Hylan, both McCooey
men, as county judges of Kings, has been
raised.
These men were appointed by virtue of
the constitutional amendment passed at
the last election.
Those who raise the question OF the
legality of the appointments Of Roy and
Hylan insist that these Offices will not
legally exist until January /. 1916
Judge Dixie, of the County Court, Brook
Ign. said yesterday that he was pleased
with the appointment of Roy and Hylan
as his colleagues. but pointed out the
necessity that the appontees are under
! to have their appointments passed upon
/ by the Court of Appeals as quickly as
possible He said:
"The power of the Governor TO appoint
is obviously a matter that must be passed
upon by the Court Of Appeals.
| In statement last night William Sui
/ yer declared that he had been asked
while Governor TO make some Of the APP
pointments Governor Glynn made last
night, and had refused.
