height OF his power some nine years ago

VIII Afrect Prosecution.

Charles r. Weeks. District Attorney
of Nassau county. said last night the
death of Cassidy probably would have a
considerable effect on the prosecution OF
the four indicted officials and the con-
tinuance OF the graft and gambling In
vestigation. but he declared he could not
discuss II at this time. II has been
generally understood. however. that Mr.
Weeks intended to put Cassidy on trial
first. and that he was depending largely
upon the development of testimony
against the former boss for his material

OKeefe. is at present i'll in his home.
The death Of Cassidy brought an end
TO one Of the most picturesque political
careers in the history of New York city
The son Of n Queens florist Cassidy
grew up In the borough and knew every
section OF II and the majority of it's
people. He was an Alderman of Long
Island City for several years and
learned the politics that later was to
make him one of the most powerful OF
the clty's political bosses Eventually
he became absolute boss Of Queens bor-
ough. served two terms az Borough
President, amassed a fortune In four
years on n salary Of $1,000 a year. and
finally went to Sing Sing prison after he
had been convicted OF selling a Supreme
Court nomination TO William willett. Jr.

Machinery Is Incidental.

The question Of machinery is Incl
dental. The main fact is that Judge
Miller and the men who will be as
ISOLATED with him in his administra-
ton are convinced that a bad state
of affairs exists in the administration
of the citys business. whether the
Mayor is being hoodwinked. as he said
he was in his relations with Hettrick,
or whether a committee might show
actual collusion between members of
Hylan's official family with the graft
ring to raid the city treasury.
Whatever the trouble is and wherever
it lies. it may be stated upon highest
authority that the Miller administration
is determined to clean 1t ort and that
the Legislature will be called upon to
provide the means for accomplishing
that end.
The necessity for a thorough airing of
possible blundering and plundering In
the city administration and its contrac
tor relationships and ramificatons be-
came evident when Samuel Unternyer
and the Lockwood committee revealed
the extent to which the rings influenced
Mayor Hylan. as was shown through the
I1ettrick letter which the Mayor sent as
his own to the Board of Education.
urging "a change in school building con-
tracts go that limestone might be used,
in accordance with Hettrick's wishes.
That revelation became all the more
astounding. and the need for an inves-
tigation became the more apparent when
Il was shown that Hettrick sought the
Mayors influence by constantly dangling
the bauble OF the labor vote before Mr..
Hylan's eyes. and that the real reason
for HettriclS's desire that the Mayor help
him get limestone substituted In the
schools was because of the ironclad com
bination into which the limestone men

II became known definitely last
night that one of the first acts of the
new State administration when Nathan
l.. Miller goes into the Governorship
and the new Republican Legislature
convenes will be the creation of
Legislative committee to investigate
the Hylan administration of this city.
Whether it will be an extension of
the powers Of the present Lockwood
committee to go into municipal af-
fairs with the sweeping thoroughness
that has characterized the commit
tees exposure of the building graft
ring, or whether a new committee will
be named with powers to go to the
bottom of the school building and
other city contracts. as well as Mayor
Hylans relations with John +. Het-
trick. Robert p. Brindell and others
of the alleged contractor and labor
rings, has not been determined.
That will be a matter for the Legis
lature to decide, and may depend to
a great degree upon the status of the
work of the Lockwood committee
when the Legislature meets.
