Class Positions Will Be
STRONGLY OnnOsed

Another opportunity for a setto be-
tween Mayor Hylan and Comptroller

Commission will hold public hearing

have rlaced in the exempt class posi-
tions in the Department of Finance, the
S30O,000. The Mayor, Major La Guar
dia, President of the Board of Alder
men, and other city officials are ex-
pected to furnish strong opposition to
the plan of the Comptroller to break
the civil Service control of so many
lucrative places in his department.
Most of the occupants of these posi-
tions are Tammany men, and one of
them is nephew Of Charles F.. Muir
ply. Because of the Importance of the
proposed reclassifcation the State Civil
local commission at the hearings. Nor
ris Cukor, president of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission, issued list
yesterday of the places which the
Comptroller wants taken out of the
competitive class.
Mr.. Cukor, commenting on the pro-
posed hearing, said that the commits
sion had absolutely no attitude in the
proceedings and that it would act in
the position of judges. He declared
the commission would give such con-
sideration to the matter as the public
service seemed to demand.

of the action" he said, mot only be-
cause of the amount Of the salaries in
volved. but also because of the great
number of positions. We will approach

return to the old convention system
Or T Its predecessor, the party caucus.
ne made plain that his remarks could
apply only to political systems under
sn' state jurisdiction, as it was not pos

McAdoo played in increasing the
wages of labor when he was Direc-

Dark Horse Talk Grows.
The increasing talk of dark horse
candidates is a fair index to the
state of the fortunes of the leaders
like Palmer, Cox and McAdoo.
Nearly every delegate who is pri-
marily for one of these is discussing
with interest the chances of tn, nlan
who is his second choice and of the
candidates of this sort. John w.
Davis is so easily in the lead that
old observers of convention results
are confidently predicting his nomi-

The chief argument urged against
Davis is that his tenancy of the post
of Ambassador to Great Britain
nearly assures Irish hospitality. The
combative Hibernian is much in evil
