City Guard Bill
To Be Vetoed.

Measure Jammed Through
Legislature by Speaker
Sweet Is Principal Topic
of the Politicians Here

Whether New York City is to have
$4,000 additional policemen, to be
known as the Municipal Guard, in ad-
dition to its present force of 10000, de-
pends on Mayor Hylan and Governor
Smith. If the Mayor vetoes the bi,,
which was passed under singular cir
cumstances in the closing hours Of
the Legislature by Thaddeus C. Sweet,
Speaker Of the Assembly, that will end
the matter. If he approves it, the
question will be put up to the Gov
ernor.
Friends Of Governor Smith, who is
in town, indicated yesterday that the
Governor probably would veto the bill
if it were approved by the Mayor The
measure, rcpudiatcd by its introduccr,
Senator James J. Walker, would give a
Special Deputy Police Commission,
which would be placed in control Of

No Physical Examination
Unlike the uniformed policeman,
who has to pass a rigid mental and
physical examination under regula-
tions established by the civil service
law, the nembers of the proposed
guard would be exempted from All
such supervision by a special provision
in the Walker bill.
Local politicians declare that the
proposed guard would make the nu-
cleus Of fine political organization.
In size it would be more than twice
that of the police force, and four times
larger than the actual membership OF
Tammany Hall.
The passage of the bill is tho chief
topic of discussion by the New York
City members OF the Legislature, and
by leaders in politics in both the Re-
publican and Democratic camps.
