CtiiVds the opinion Is be ing expressed that the council's duty clearly is to select an outstanding business man, in whom the citizen ship would have full confidence and who would not be handicapped by political affiliation that might In fluence his actions.

Factional Scramble Seen. Despite this general feeling, a merry scramble among the factional Jeaders for custody of the mayor's office Is foreseen in the first three or four names that have been mentioned as possible choiors of the council for the permanent mayorship. Name that have been mentioned thus far are Bert Morgan, John A. George. Frank A.

Cones and Claude E. Negley, present mayor' pro tern. Morgan, former prohibition di rector for Indiana through ap pointment by Harry. S. New, Is known as a member of the New Jewett Lemcke faction of Republican politicians.

He was a member of the board of safety In the administration of John I Duvall as mayor, and resigned from that board when Du vall several weeks ago forced the reduction of Claude M.

HOGUE SUIT ANSWER ON FILE TOR DUVALL Issues Joined So That Trial Date May Now Be Set. CLAIMS AS MAYOR DENIED With Claude E. Negley, city coun cil president. In undisputed possession of the mayor's office for the coming week under, protection of a court Injunction, the way was paved Tuesday for a aettlement of the claim of Joseph L. Hogue.

former city controller, to the mayor's chair. Ira M. Holmes, attorney, acting In behalf of John L. Duvall. who re signed last week as mayor.

Tuesday filed an answer In' general denial to the quo warranto suit brought by Hogue against Duvall, In which Hogue asserted that Duvall never legally was mayor and for that rea son, he, as the controller in the pre ceding administration, should be holding the office, since Lew Shank, former mayor, has died. Views In Case Differ. The filing of the answer joins the issues in the Hogue case, so that It may be called for trial. It was not expected a trial date would be aet, however, until after the selection of a permanent mayor has bsen made next Tuesday by the city council. Holmes said the filing of the answer would preclude Hogue from naming Negley as a co defend ant with Duvall in the ault he had filed.

Others expressed a different view, however. Negley gained custody of the mayor's office for the time being when Holmes, who likewise had claimed the office, announced that ne would abandon his claim as a result of a court decision Mon day afternoon In Negley'a favor. A short time after the deciaion was given. Holmes delivered to Negley the key to the mayor's desk, which he had held since the resignation of John I. Duvall larst week.

Judge Joseph M. Milner. of su perior court. Room ended the Negley Holmea controversy when he overruled a motion of Holmes to dissolve a temporary restraining order be had issued to prevent Holmes from interfering with Negley in his conduct of the mayor's office. Holmes's claim to the office was based on his appointment as con troller last week by Mrs.

November 1 (AJ.) The Fall Sinclair oil con spiracy case was adjourned until tomorrow without Justice Siddons announcing what action he would take on the allegations of jury ir regularities made by government counsel. Charges that one juror talked indicreetly about the case and that a detective agency had been keep ing jurors under close observation were contained in the affidavits filed by the government counseL WASHINGTON, November (A.P.) A move involving the possibility of a mistrial in the Fall Sinclair Teapot Dome conspiracy trial waa made by government counsel as soon as court convened today. Atlee Pomerene, former United States senator, and of spe cial oil counsel, told the court that the government had a matter to present which gave government counsel "the very, gravest con cern." Replying to a question from Frederick Lincoln Siddons, justice, he said: "My thought Is that It should not be presented In the presence of the Jury. It was agreed that court take a reces and permit counael to present the matter in chambers. Jarer Believed Involved.

Information before the justice was not disclosed by the government attorneys, out there was every' indication about the courtroom that it included affidavits whJch involved at least one of the jurors. A mistrial which would be the natural sequence of such affidavits, would mean that all that has been done to build the case against Albert B. Fall, former Interior secretary, and Harry V. Sinclair, oil operator, would have to be done over before a new jury. The stroke came juat as the government was drawing to a conclusion the evidence on which It hoped to prove that certain bonds passed from the Sinclair interests to Fall soon after Fall, then 'secretary, signed a lease, April 7, 1922, turning the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve over to a Sinclair company.
