FEW CHANGES PREDICTED


Old problems and new, had nothing to
say yesterday about either MS per-
aenal political intentions or about what
changes he contemplates among his
department heads. gossip on these
matters, centring about the City Hall,
ouzzed briskly. Boiling down the
opinions of those that are friendly,
even close, to the Mayor the predic-
tions came to about this:
Mayor Hylan's point OF view. as
matters stand now. is to stay where
he is, serving out his new term of four
Years. He voluntarily offered such a
pledge in a talk he made at the Hotel
Commodore in the jollification of cleo
ton night, saying that it was his pur-
pose to continue the fight against 'the
interests" to the end of his four year
term.
Speculation as to Hylan's tactical
value as the next Democratic candidate
for Governor persists in many quar-
ters. but there is strong feeling that
neither tho Mayor nor former Gov. AL
fred f. Smith will be nominated. At
the Democratic Club on election night,
when many possibilities were threshed
over by Tammany politicians "in the
know" this prediction was made by
many. the opinion being that neither
Smith nor Hylan Graves a nomination
for Governor at this time.
Supreme Court Inducement.
Another rumor that made conversa-
ton at least was whether the Mayor
might be induced to accept place upon
the Supreme Court bench in Brooklyn,
two vacancies occurring there next fall. |
It Is believed that TIylan could have
orr OF the places il he lifted his hand, |
John Fl. McCooey, Tammany viceroy in
Kings. being said to favor the move, but |
the Mayors friends. those who are really |
close TO him, say privately that he Is
perfectly satisfied where he Is. None
Of these speculations takes In what may
he the private plans OF William r. |
Hearst, and It Is hardly doubted IL Mr..
Hearst is anxious for the Mayor to
stand for the Governorship or for any |
other Office that the Mayor would re-
fuse.
Another interesting point concerns
I.eader Murphy's attitude toward the
Mayor. In reply to comment that Tam
many would like to get Hylan out of
the City Hall so that Murray Hulbers, |
President-elcct of the Board OF Alder |
men. could step into that post. the |
Mayors friends point to the perfectly
accurate fact that election night indi-
lated fairly close harmony between
Hylan and Murphy. They exchanged
calls at Tammany Hall and at the Hotel |
Commodore. and their meetings were |
plainly amiable, even affable.
AZ regards possible changes in the |
city administration the Mayors close
friends hint that there will be fewer |
han rumor has surmised. A man in |
intimate official relationship with the |
.rayor said last evening that no changes |
~ all would be made for some time, and |
tat only few might be expected--that |
ihare would be no "housecleaning." so
90 lied.
Leo expected to Retire.
Among the politicians it is expected !
= ut John p. Leo. Commissioner of |
s rect Cleaning. may find it expedient to |
r.tire. inasmuch as he is blamed for the !
Il feat in Kings of Michael Laura for |
Sneriff his suspension of Laura from !
that department al q critical time In the |
clmpaign being the blow that is sup
posed to have wrecked Lauras ambi- |
''ons.
Another change mentioned as possible |
touches Edwin ]. O'Maliey. Commits |
soner of Markets. OF course sue |
csssor to Murray Hubert as head of
ne Department Of Docks must be found. |
II is well known that John III. Delaney. |
who managed the MAYORS campaign |
could have the post, but it Is doubtful !
r. Delaney wants it. Frederick A. Wallis |
r. mentioned as one of the possible new
commissioners
Analysis Of opinion touching Commits |
sioner Enright as head Of the Police De- |
partment shades down to this, that while |
Enright is expected to retire long before |
the new term draws to a close. IL Is not |
likely that his retirement will be a |
matter of few weeks or even a few |
months. The' guess is that Enright will |
remain in charge Of the police for an
other year.
On account OF the energetic work done |
by former United States Marshal
THOMAS y. Mccarthy in behalf Of Comp |
,roller Craig, OF whose campaign he was |
manager It is supposed that good |
place will be made in the administration |
FOR him. but McCarthy's friends said |
Yesterday that he is more likely TO go |
into business than into politics.
