HUBBELL AND ORDWAY OUT
OF PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD
designations Are Sent to Gov. Whitman by Two Com
missoners Whose Terms of Office Would
Expire Very Soon.

The Public Service Commission is
short two Commissioners and more than
300 employees to-day. Chairman Charles
| Buckley Hubbel and Commissioner
Samuel H. Ordway separated themselves
from their offices voluntarily, but il be-
came necessary 10 drop the employees
/ through the action Of the Board of EST
mate In refusing to appropriate money
| to pay them after yesterday. In letter
TO tho board last night the Commission
points out that the interests OF the city
will be jeopardized by the curtailment
Of the force.
Chairman Hubbell and Commissioner
Ordway sent their designations to Gov
ernor Whitman late on Monday night
and they were accepted yesterday to
take effect at midnight. Chairman Hub
bell, who was appointed in January a
year ago to ill out the unexpired term
OF Commissioner Henry w Hodge, had
until February l TO serve. Commits
s!oner Ordway was appointed in Angus;
to the unexpired term Of oscar S.
Stratus, which had until February l..
1928, to run. But the Senate was not
in session, the appointment was never
confirmed and Governor Smith could
have appointed his successor at any
time,
Smith Ignores Their OGer.
Both Chairman Hubbell and Commits
sioner Ordwav wrote to Mr. Smith some
days ago. saying they would prefer to
retire at the beginning of the year, so
as to give him free hand, but they
would be willing to serve on temporarily
II he so desired. As the incoming Gov
ernor expressed no wish that they re-
main, the designations were forwarded
TO Albany.
The commiSsion last night announced
the appointment OF Godfrey Goldmark as
counsel to succeed Judge William L.
Ransom, whose resignation took effect at
midnight. Mr.. Goldmark. who formerly
was partner OF ex-Judge Hiram r
steele, entered the commission as secre-
tary tQ.Chairman Straus. A year late-
ne became assistant counsel and recently
has specialized on the regulatory side of
the rapid transit work
There is much speculation as TO what
Gov. Smith viii do in respect to the va.
can't commissionershps Undoubtedly
there are many good Tammany braves
who would be glad to anpex themselves
10 a $4,000 job, even fof short time
But il is well known that the Governor
has well defined ideas about the reor-
ganizatlon of the commission. and ne
may prefer to make no appointments
until he has some word as TO what legis-
lation he may get, II any. from the in
coming Legislature. For the present
Travis II. Whitney probably will be act
ing chairman.
As "A result of the blow aimed al the
commission 10y the Board of Estimate
Monday almost the entire inspectiOnai
force on subway construction had to he
cut CT. Other employees vital To tho
pushing Of the new subways had to re
released. II is probable that tine Legis-
laturc viii be asked To appoint a special
committee TO investigate the way n
which the work Of the commission has
been hampered.
