CORTELYOU PICKED
FOR SAFETY HEAD, IS
VIEW IN WASHINGTON
Friends of Moore Say Mayor
elect Has Given Evidence of
His Choice for Director

Washington. Dec. 9.-Congressionll
colleagues of Mayor elect Moore who
talked over the cabinet situation with
him in n general way. expect that the
Mayor elect next will appoint his di-
rector of public safety.
They say they do not presume to
anticipate Mr.. Moore's decision, but
they will not be surprised il he names
James r. CortelyOu. chief of county
detectives under District Attorney
Rotnn.
They say they have one special reasoa
for this view of the matter and that is
that the Mayor elect and Air Cortclyou
virtually arranged for n conference
while they were attending the Terrapn
Club dinner in Philadelphia last Satur-
day night
Those who profess to know what went
on. ION the quiet nt the Tcrrapin
Club dinner, say the Mayor elect and
Mr.. COrtclyou casually o. otherwise,
met and exchanged few wGrds. The
imnort of these few and hasty words
under the eyes and almost within the
hearing of few Of the guests, was that
the Mayor elect and Mr.. Cortelyou
would have a talk within few days
It is argued that there would have
been no occasion for words of that kind
between Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Corteyou
unless there was something in the air
in connection with the public safety Of
flee. And. furthermore, those who know
Mr.. Moore we'll. assert that they are
certain he has decided upon the man he
will select as the successor to, Director
Wilson,
Politicians say they see some con
nection between the possible appoint r.
ment Of Cortelyou as director OF public
safety and the impending political battle
between the Wares and the Mayor elect.

TWO PLANS TO BE OFFERED

A split over rules to govern the new
Council of twenty one is almost certain,
in the opinion of Ware members of the

rules will be submitted when the com

Ihe Inauguration committee consists

mlttee, named with the aid of Mayor

TOUR OF whom are classed as anti Ware
Should the larger committee enter the
rule making field, its decisions may be
referred to the present Councils for
approval despite the charter provision
that the new Council shall have power
TO provide for its own organization.
Mr. Burch, in explaining his commit
tee plans today, said 81 believe in plac-
ing your cards on the table. The meet
ing today should be one at which every
member can discuss his plans. We will
determine later on whether or not to
make it executive. There may be
number of plans submitted.
Il have been studying rules and |
know that others have been .doing the
same thing. Every man will be given
a chance to urge his views. Many Of
our present rules are antiquated and
not adapted in any way to work with
n small single counclmanic body"
Charles B. Hall, sergeant at arms of
the present Council. and member
elect of the smaller body, has been
making study of rules and will sub
NIT some radical changes, especially
affecting the power of the presiding
officer and the make up of comittees'
Among other things Hail. who is not
member of the committee on inaugural
and organization, will advocate
finance committee consisting of the en-
tire cOuncilmanc body.
One of Senator Vare's leaders today
said as to the rules: 81 understand
that 'the new men have had a set of
rules drawn by man who never spent
ten minutes in Councils in his life. If
that is the case some of us certainly
will not stand for changes. We have
some ideas of our own and do not be
lieve that outsiders unfamiliar with
councimanic procedure should be given
hand in governing the new body"
The Importance of certain rules has
been emphasized repeatedly during the
present administration when "moral
claims of questionable value have re
pcatedly been held up for lack of two
thirds vote and when objectionable
measures of a similar character have
been killed by a close observance of the
old time restrictions upon voting mcm-
brrS and differing majorities.
