HANSON SEEKS
CURRAN' s JOB
Former City Clerk Looked Up
on Favorably by Assembly
man-Elect Appleby.

John Hanson, Jr.. former city
clerk, admitted today that he is
seeking the position of federal pro-
hibition enforcement officer, from
which position James Currap of New
Brunswick recently resigned. Con-
elect I. Frank Appleby. it
is said, has already been acquainted
with Mr.. Hanson's desire and al
though no promises have been made.
1t is. understood that Mr.. Hanson has
a good chance for the position. The
appointment will be made after Mr..
Appleby takes his seat as congress-
man after March 4.
1t is felt by many of Mr.. Han
sons friends that he is entitled to
some recognition for the work he
did during the late war. Not only
vas he city clerk. but was secretary
of the draft board for eighteen
months. secretary Of the Medical
Advisory Board of Middlesex cou1-
ty. assisted the legal advisory board
in conducting their work and then
entered the military service becom-
ing lieutenant in the navy in the
fourth naval district. being station
ed at Philadelphia.
Nr. Hanson.s work on the draft
board here was done without pay,
as was the work of the other mem
bers of this board. Although some
of the boards in the state received
pay for their work. it was thought
by the local board that as long as
the men had to give themselves to
France, the least they could DO
would be to give their services free.
Outside of William Hoy of Fords'
Mr.. Hanson does not know OF any
one Who may be seeking the position
except himself. 1t is said that Mr.
Hoy worked for John w. Herbert IN
the last primary and if this is the
fact, 1t would appear that his. ap-
pointment to the position is unlike
ly.
: Mr.. Hanson is now associated with
his father in the real estate business
in this city. He refused to make
statement in relation to the appoint
ment. except to admit that he is out
for the appointment.
