AS mayor he was called upon to act
as official host to the two national po-

CERMAK VACANCY
Legal Precedent Is Sought:
Legislature May Act to
Solve Problem.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March Ga city stunned
by the death Of its chief executive TO-
day thumbed legal precedent with small
success, seeking q mode Of selecting q
new mayor to fill out the unexpired
term Of Anton Cermak.
Apparently political leaders were in
agreement that there were three modes
Of approach to providing the Nations
second city with executive authority In
the emergency. They were:
Choosing OF a mayor by special elec-
tion.
Naming an acting mayor from mem
bership Of the City Council.
Permitting the mayors cabinet" to
perform executive duties.
The law governing the present emer-
gency. City Hall attaches said. states
that when vacancy occurs when the
unexpired term Is one year or more the
office shall be filled by a special elec-
ton. Cermak's term would not have
expired until 1885. Such an election
could not be held, without intervention
Of the Illinois Legislature, until mid
June because Of the required 40 days
between a primary and an election.
Legislation Needed.
However. in the event a special cleo
ton Is resorted to. it was expected the
Legislature would be asked to approve
measure to hold the election within
at least 80 days. Because of the pre-
ponderance Of the Democratic majority
in the Legislature there was little ques-
tion In the minds of leaders that the
Legislature would agree to the request
to enable the city speedily to select a
new mayor
The assassination Of Mayor Carter N.
Harrison. ST., in 1898 gave a precedent
for the second proposed method of Sc
lecting Mayor Cermak's successor At
