tj HORGAN SLATTERY GET IT COMPELS GRANTING OF HALL OF CONTRACT TO THEM. CONTROLLER COLKR AND PRESIDENT OUGGENHEIMER OPPOSE THE CARNEGIE CONTRACTS APPROVED. Honran Slattery were appointed the architects to finish the work on the new Hall of Records building yesterday at a meeting of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. They are to succeed John R. Thomas, who died about a month ago.

and to receive the usual compensation. The appointment was not made a vigorous protest from two of the board, and It waa only because of pressore brought to bear upon the rest by the Mayor that the resolution making the appointment was passed. It is rare that Horgan Slattery are forgotten when an architect is to be appointed for a municipal building. Indeed, hardly a structure has been erected recently by the Tammany authorities but that Horgan Slattery have drawn the plans. Shortly after the death of John R.

Thomas, who was the original architect of the Hall of Records, it was reported that here was another for Horgan Slattery. In order to secure harmony In the city's architectural outlines the genius of Horgan Slattery must necessarily be summoned. it was paid. The resolution was not scheduled for the meet- Jng but it was offered after the other business had been transacted. The Mayor, who offered the resolution, tried to get a vote at once, but was prevented by Controller Coler, who objected en the ground that he understood the estate of Mr.

Thomas was able to finish the work itself, and should be permitted to do so. Mr. Coler was supported by Mr. The resolution looked as if it were defeated, when the Mayor became Inexorable and called for a vote. Controller Coler and Mr.

Ouggenhelmer voted In the negative, but the Mayor. Assistant Corporation Counsel Connelly and President Feitner voted for the resolution, which was accordingly passed. The methods employed in forcing the resolution through the board are strongly denounced by members of the Hall of Records Association. Many express the opinion that politicians have now obtained control of a public work which fore had been free from politics, and that the sjag. open for the subversion of the under taking to the pecuniary profit of Tammany Hall A.

S. Menkin. chairman of the Hall of Records Association, call to a Tribune reporter last nirht: As chairman of the Hall of Records Association one deeply interested In the successful completion of the building. I regard it a public misfortune that supervision of what was Intended to be the most beautiful of our public building? should have fa'len into th' of It Is needless say that 1 proceeding was a high handed one. and detrimental to the public Interest.

John Peirce, the contractor of the building, is undoubtedly honest and capable, and our beet hope now is our reliance on the maintainance of his citizens are not. however, without protection I in this matter, if there should be any laxity on the part of the supervising architects, as the contractor cou id be compelled to fulfil his contract, which provides in detail as to the construction of 1 If at anytime it should be deemed necessary, the Hall of Records Association could find means to 1 employ an architect to furnish it the necessary in- I formation. The heirs of John R. Thomas are four chil-3ren. whose Interests are represented by Ashbel P.

Fitch. He will take no action until the will probated, wh-'ch will rot be inside of a month, Mr. Fitch said hat then he would bring suit to recover for the heirs what compensation for the completion of the building. The contract, however, was drawn with Mr. Thomas personally, and the point is raised in law nether by the death of Mr.

Thomas the contract is broken. Mr. Thomas was to receive 3V- Ptr cent, or It is the opinion of Mr. Menkin that legally the Thomas heirs have no right. The chief cause of Indignation, therefore, is the fact that the Mayor threw the contract into the hands of the Tammany architects, without consulting the wishes of those who are most interested in the structure.

A resolution was adopted by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment approving the contracts for Carnegie libraries in Brooklyn end Queens. A letter from Andrew Carnegie also approving the contract? was first read. The contracts for Brooklyn and Queens differ from those in Manhattan and The Bronx only in that they allow the erection of more buildings at ten cost- The buildings in the two will be under the management of the Brooklyn Public Library and the Queens Public Library. The board appropriated (175.000 at the request of Commissioner Lantry for the around the new city prison, the flagging of the yard and sidewalk outside and a new staircase In the Criminal Courts Building. A request from Commissioner of the Street Cleaning Department to change the contract for the final dis- position of and street sweepings from one to five years was killed by being placed on Me.

FOR A CARNEGIE LIBRARY. THREE IN HKOOKLYX TO UK TAKEN IT FOR THE PBOPLB AT LARGE. Professor Franklin W. Hooper, one of the directors of the Brooklyn Public Library, said to a Tr reporter last night that the Brooklyn Mac Library, the Brooklyn Library nnd the Iyong Island His-orica! Society would probably agree to I combination, placing their books, under one management. In order to take advantage of Bar of Andrew Carnegie to provide funds for a large central llbriry building In Brooklyn.

"If the three libraries will unite," he said, "and form large library interest for the benefit of the people of Brooklyn, Mr. Carnegie agrees to contribute a large central library building. A letter from Dr. Billings, written in Mr. Carnegie's house In Scotland, setting forth the conditions of the Offer, was read at a meeting of the committee of the Brooklyn Public Library on Tuesday night.

"I think, from what I have been able to learn, that a plan will oe adopted to unite the three libraries that will be satisfactory to all concerned, and that as a result Mr. Carnegie will give a sufficient sum to mild a suitable library building. -re seems to be no limit to Mr. Cenerosity. I think no obstacle will be placed In Che way of bringing this plan to a culmination." Delegates Jrom the three Institutions have been appointed and have held conferences with a view 'Othing over the difficulties in the way of -omblnatlon.

Hm question of compensation to the subscribers and stockholder); of the Brooklyn Library and tiie Long Island Historical Society Is the principal difficulty to be overcome. It Is thought that this can be satisfactorily however, by an act of the legislature and the report of the delegates will probably contain a bill to be Introduced at next session of the legidature.

Seymour not openly as enthusiastic yesterday, just before he started as a guest at the Robert Davis Association on its outing, he appeared to be quite confident of his nomination. "If I should be nominated." he said, while re.viewlng the association from a stand. "I would certainly hope to be elected. That Is quite natural Hope, you know, springs 1 ten 1 In the human breast." Then, dropping out of poetic metre, he added: "My attitude in this campaign thus far has en ne Inactivity, and I think that situation will continue for some time yet. because the Democratic Convention will not men until October 1.

My idea is that if the Democratic party con. -rides that am the man to be honored with the nomination for Governor, the party will nominate me regardless of any efforts on my part. It is not for m- to engage In a scramble for nomination. The Democratic voters will nominate the, man whom th-y feel Is best adapted to the occasion and for the place." In replying to an Inquiry as to what he thought of the latest Democratic -developments in Eases Coun- Or. Mr.

Seymour said: "I really would not care to discuss that matter at any length Just at this time. Ex-Senator Smith." he continued, with a smile, appears to be In excellent health, but how the situation will develop I cannot say" Robert Davis, the Hudson County Democratic leader, just before the association embarked, gave Mr. Seymour's boom another lift. He said that It was his opinion that Mayor Seymour would be nominated for Governor without any trouble. Edward Livingston Price, who is Mr.

Seymour's right hand man in Essex County and who stood near him while the procession was passing, bubbled over with enthusiasm as he remarked: "It is all Seymour wherever you go through the State. He will be nominated and elected. Nothing is surer than that. hereupon Mr. Seymour smiled his thanks.

Ex-United States Senator Smith gave Colonel Edward Livingston Price 1 warm (perhaps it was warmer than it looked) greeting at the outing of Newark Democracy at Avon-by-the-Sea on Tuesday. In reply to congratulations upon how well he looked since his return from Europe, the ex- Senator said to the Colonel: "Yes: I have been training down. I understand that there Is apt to be a hard fight ahead of me in Newark this falL" Later In the day. when It was Intimated to Mr Smith that there were Democrats who thought he might be a candidate fo. Governor, he replied: "So I hear.

I have been reading about it In the newspapers. I suppose I should be at work fostering my boom, shouldn't Then he added, seriously: "Any good Democrat who can the party In this State will suit me and please the party our candidate for Governor. We shall have to Dominate such a candidate to win." who he thought the candidate would be. he said: "I haven't any idea. I have heard two men spoken of as candidates in Essex County and others from several parts of the State." William B.

Gourley. the chairman of the Democratic State Committee, Is reported to have said at Avon that he feared Mi yor Seymour would have a hard time of It If he should be nominated in opposition to the Essex delegation. Asked if he thought Mr. Seymour would be nominated if he should receive a majority of the Fasti delegates, he replied: "Perhaps not. It be dangerous to nominate a man who fa a bone of contention.

Seymour is a strong man. and he could win If party would unite on him. We want to see. an'! personally I hope to see. this difficulty In Essex County smoothed over before the primaries held." Replying to an inquiry as to wnether Mr.
