will appear upon the assessors lists.
Tho meeting of the Republican city
committee was called to order soon after
o'clock. Not only was there an
almost complete attendance of the mem
bcrs. but the chairmen of numerous
ward committees were at the hcadquar-
tcrS.
"VnClc Dave" Lane. the sage" of
the Republican orgnization and leader
of the Twentieth ward. smashed n pre-
Ccdent today. The veteran chicftain
has rarely missed an important meet
ing of the city committee, of which he
is president emeritus.
Stays Mt Shore
But today he was absent. lie re-
maincd in Atlantic City where last week
he discussed the mayoralty campaign
from many angles with the Republican
leaders. Mr.. Lane was represented at
the meeting today by Joseph Marcus. n
clerk Of Common Council, who is one
of his lieutcnants.
Many of the Ware followers who came
to the meeting expected to hear some
hint dropped that would indicate the
Ware choice for Mayor.
Freeland and Patterson
The names most perSistently mention
ed as possible candidates who will re-
ceive the support of the Wares are those
of Judge John NJ. Patterson and Re
ceiver Of Taxes w. Freeland Kendrick
Mr.. Kendrick has declared he might run
"if he had the time" Since that state
mcnt more emphasis has been placed on
Judge Pattcrson's name as the prospcc
tive regular" Republican standard
bearer.
Director of Supplies Joseph Mac
Laughin. the first candidate to come
out in the open for the city's highest
office. declares he is in the fight to stay.
Rumors are current. however, that a
strong effort will be made to have him
accept a councilmanic nomination with
the prospect of election as president of
the Council.
As to Hampton Moore
Congressman J. Hampton Moore's
name continues to be linked with the
mayoralty nomination. 1t is understood
that the congressman will consent to
run on the one condition-that he has
the support of all groups of Republic
ans. Political leaders look on har-
Excclling in interest. even the first
meeting of the Republican city COM
mittce, in political discussions here to-
day was the possible personnel of the
rcorganized board of registration COM
missioners.
Registration Board
Forecasts of the new registration COM
mission appear to rcvolve around six
names. The new board is to consist of
five members. one member more than
the board it supplants. The six men
mentioned for places as commissioners
are William Walsh and George s.
Pierre. present commissioners, who, it is
predicted, will be hold overs: Joseph
Fabian and Allen Morgan, Democrats,
and Clinton Rogers Woodruff and Vivian
Frank Gable, who have the Endorsement
of the Penrose leaders.
The three committees representing
anti-Vare forces in the campaign met
yesterday afternoon and will hold an
other meeting Thursday, the first day
on which petitions may be filed for can
didates for city and county Offices.
,t;o, lU,.tnl
1t is hoped that various clubs and
business organizations will send repre-
sentatives to the conference on Thurs
day. The conferees yesterday were mem
bers of citizens committee, headed by
Thomas Raeburn White; Republican
Alliance committee and a Town Meet
ing committee.
New candidates. for the city Council
are bobbing up almost hourly. William
J. Kcrns, secretary of the Board of
! Viewers, has been mentioned ms a cnun-
cilmanic candidate from the Fifth Sen
atorial district. Mr.. Kerns denied this.
but let it be known that A. NJ. Wal
dron, select councilman from the Thirty
first ward, would be a candidate. The
Third Senatorial district will be en- :
titled to one councilman. 1t was con-
sidered likely that John r. X. Scott,
Ware floor leader in the House at Har
risburg, would be a candidate for Coun
ell from that district. bat Senator Ware
spiked that report. He announced that
Scott would not run for the office.
With Scott out of the reckoning, con
lecture today swung toward Select
Councilman Isaac D. Hetzell, of the
Eighteenth ward, as the logical can
didate in that district, who will have
the support of the Wares.
Select Councilman Ira ]. Garman,
of the Forty sixth ward, has thrown
his hat into a ring rapidly filling with
straws and derbies. He announced
today he will be a candidate for Coun
Gil from the fourth senatorial district
which includes the Forty sixth ward.
Mr.. Garman, in support of his
candidacy, pointed to his twelve year,
in public service, the first four as
sectional school board member, the las
eight as a member of Select Council
For two years he has been a member Of
Councils finance committee.
