De Sapio took over the assignment at the height of an unofficial one day holiday in Hoboken. Impromptu parades passed through the 'city streets, flags flew from most buildings, 2000 longshoremen left their waterfront jobs and marched in a body to City Hall, fireworks burst over the city throughout most of the day and night and schools were practically shut down by wholesale absences.
