-Governor Brumbaugh's statement
of yesterday afternoon in which he
said that he named Thomas B. Smith,
ex-postmaster of Philadelphia, public
service commissioner because he had
that any talk of him being In a deal
on the Philadelphia mayoralty is
absurd appears to have ended the
chatter about the governor taking a
hand in Philadelphia mayoralty poll
tics. The Philadelphia papers all ac-
cept 1t as disposing of the matter.

The Philadelphia Record to-day
says: THE Republican Mayoralty stu
alton did not clear up at all yesterday
The only development of the day was
the persistent rumor, circulated by
Penrose agents that President Judge
]. Willis Martin, of Common Pleas
Court No. 5, was being considered as
a candidate. This is regarded as an
other move on the part of the Pen
rose -McNichol forces to get the Wares
to show their hand. The Penrose-Mc-
Nichol agents have dropped Smith
absolutely and are now talking Martin
sent to agree to him as a compromise.
When Senator McNichol was asked
about the Martin boom, he said:
Judge Martins name has been under
consideration for six months The
Wares refused to discuss the Martin
boom, but Ware followers said thai
they absolutely were opposed to the
Judge and would not consent to him
as a candidate under any circum-
stances. The Wares remained silent
yesterday and the tip went out that
Brother Bills candidacy would not be
announced until the last day for fill
ing nomination papers, August 81
Judge n. NJ. Wanner. of York
county, was host to the York county
lawyers yesterday at his summer
home. There does not seem to be any
opposition to the judges denomination
in sight.
The meeting of the Republican
committee of the Fourteenth ward, of
Philadelphia, of which Congressman
John r. K. Scott is leader, is sched-
uled for tonight and will indicate
something about the mayoralty situ-
alton. The ward is in the heart of the
McNichol district, but Scott is Ware
follower. If an endorsement is maze
it will be the signal for the battle.
Medals special loan election, at
which $4,000 was voted for i'm
provements, has been declared void.
