the holiday if Judge Hylan had dis
PEELED their anxiety over appointments
md nut a few definite jobs in their
stockings. While there are few places
on the slate Of the incoming admins
tration which are considered practical
~ settled. the new Mayor repeated yes
terday that he had "no announcements
10 make" and that nothing had been
definitely decided upon"
Those who have been close in the
councils OF the Mayor-elect recently,
nevertheless. got down to making
more definite and more comprehensive
slate Yesterday. The very latest IN
"sure thing" appointments, subject per-
haps TO some New Years revision. filed
out the Hylan Christmas card about as
follows:

.. Secret Service. Police Commissioner.

Corporation Counsel, Corporation
Counsel.

sioner of Public Charities.

Dental secretary, City Chamberlain.

the Tammany leader Of Brooklyn, Com

The new Mayor has 263 positions,
large and small, which he will FIJI per
sonallv. Many different names have
been recommended for the less impor-
tant places More than two thousand
are said 70 have been submitted for his
consideration. Judge Hylan has shown
leaning toward Brooklyn appoint
ments, as the above list OF "probabln-
ties" indicates. The Iammany nan
leaders in Manhattan are jealous Of the
possible McCooey patronage to the eX-
tent of discOuraging so many Brooklyn
appointments.
"Big Bill" Devery. who once was
given the title Of the best Chief Of
Police New York ever had" had
short conference witE Judge Hylan
YESTERDAY The Mayor,elect and Dew
cry declined TO discuss the nature OF
the visit but il was assumed that the
former Chief of Police had something
TO say about police matters in gen
oral and the Flynn appointment in par
ticular.
some Of the friends of William
Harman Black, Assistant District At
torney. who has been strong candi-
date for Corporation Counsel, de-
ciared Yesterday he might yet be APP
po,uted instead Of Mr.. Burr. They
said Judge Hylan was worried over
the Appointment Of so many men on
his tentative list, from the ranks of the
Catholics While the new Mayor is a
Catholic himself. and there is no per-
sonal objection to the appointment Of
men Of that church, as matter of po-
litical eXpediency, u was believed, he
would take that fact into consideration
IN balancing the new city slate.
Picks John p. O'Brien.
One prominent Tammany leader de-
clared yesterday that neither Mr.. Burr
or Mr.. Black was likely to receive the
appointment. lie introduced John p
O'Bnen. Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci. in charge of Tenement House De
partment affairs, as the most likely
man 20 get il. ExRepresentative JEFF
ferson VI. Levy has been cunning for
the place az the head Of the Tax Com
mission. He has strong hackers but
is not thought to be in the running.
