Mr. Littleton attended the Swanstmtn and Clarke dinners last ntght. When seen to-day ns told the reporters that he had nothing of a political character to say. He denied that he had made any selections for the appointive places under him. It was stated by a responsible person this afternoon that before Mr.

Littleton went on his trip to Tennessee and Texas he offered to James J. McCabe, president of the Lincoln Club, who is an Associate Superintendent of Public Instruction at a salary, the place of Commissioner of Public Works. It is said that Mr. McCabe is very much disinclined to accept, because he holds practically a life position, which he would have to relinquish In order to become Redfleld's successor. Peter J.

Collins is now thought to be Mr. Littleton's choice for Superintendent of Buildings OaJder's place. He has not decided who will be Borough Secretary. It was said to-day that the Borough Presl-dent-elet Intends to see Hugh McLaugn-lin to-dny or to-morrow and receive a I commodatlon for the convention that could be given by any Eastern city. One of the most Interesting questions that will corns before the committee will be the plan to reduce the representation In national conventions, fathered by Churlee R.

Drayton, of Rhode Island. "My resolution," said Gen. Brayton, does not affect representation in the I A TU oiu convention of 1904. Its purpose is to e- bellef thkt he will be elected. The talk cur from the National Committee a of opposition has entirely disappeared recommendation to the convention of One of the most significant statements adopt such a plan of representn- Vatinnoi or th convention of 190b.

When asked If Roosevelt can carry New York next year, he said: If Roosevelt cannot, don't know of any Republican who can. The sentiment of the party in New York lo strongly favorable to his nomination. 8enator Platt's declaration that the New York delegation will unanimously support President Roosevelt Is absolutely eor-iect.

Unanimous action Is necessary. Ac ordlng to a statement made by Controller Grout Just before the Board went into session, he will oppose the resolution He said that he did not see why so mui ii money should be sprnt hen the bridge was not ready for use In spite of all stories to the contrary, It an be stated with authority that the roadway of the Williamsburg bridge, which will be formally opened to the public on Dec 13, will not be closed again as soon as the ceremonies are over.

Statements to thla effett have appeared In several newspapers, but it was learned at the Bridge Department this morning that once the roadway Is opened It will be opened for all time and will afford a bridge The tolls will be th same as those charged on the Brooklyn Brldga. It is expected that within three months the two footpaths will be ready for service. The contracts were let some time ago And the specifications require that one of the roadways shall be ready by Dec. tl. and the other by Feb.

4. Owing lo bad weather conditions the centrae-tora have been unable to contlntis their work because some of the materials used cannot te laid while the temperature is at the freezing point. As soon as the weather moderates a start will be made, and it was stated this morning that within three months from date both of the footpaths will be ready for ser-v ice Mavor Low made the following comments on the situation. "I regret to observe a disposition In certain quarters to belittle the opening of the new bridge on the ground that It Is not finished There should be no such criticism. The Williamsburg Bridge is more advanced than was the Brooklyn Bridge when It was opened to the public.

In that case, only the promenade was finished. The roadways were not completed. nor was most of the work about the approaches. While it Is true that only the south roadway on the new bridge is completed, it will be only a short time before all parts of the structure are finished. But for the delay caused by the non-arrival of some material, because of the frost In the Mohawk Valley, we should have finished the northern roadway by this time.

There are two good reasons why we should open the bridge at this time. First, one of the roadw-ays is ready and ought to be put into use; second, It will cause tha contractors to hurry. "When the Brooklyn Bridge was opened, there was no trouble about the railroads. We ought to exercise the greatest core In making arrangements for the trolleys and other means of transportation on the Williamsburg Bridge. This Is to be th greatest highway forth two boroughs.

For two years wa nave been discussing the problem of get- ting cars across the bridge.

Mr. Controller, you aie Imbued with enough patriotic sentiment to reulUc that the establishment of a museum like this will serve to place Amerliun citizenship on a higher plane "Cant see It," was Mr. (Tmut' curt reply. The women gasped with amazement "This Is merely pjopotdiion, continued the Controller. to fuiniah quarters for a private society at public expense "Oh.

Mr. Controller," said Mrs. Charles If. Terry, apparently deeply shocked. "This Is an educational proposition Just think of the benefit it will be to the children and how it will serve to inspire them with patriotic ideals when they see these interesting relics of the early colonial days!" "Well, I can't see where there Is any historical Interest attached to this old farmhouse which would Justify the city in expending the money to buy it," replied Mr.

Grout. This was more than Public Works Commissioner Redfleid could stand Mr. Rt-dfleld was acting in the place of President Swanstrom, who was absent. He made a plea for it. Then, as a last resort, Mrs.

Boas told how a policeman requested one of the patriotic societies to place a tablet in Mornlngside Park so that the children, without being compelled to ask, might know why a certain monument had been erected there "When a New York policeman asks for tho placing of a tablet which will Inculcate patriotic sentiments in the hearts of children." declared Mrs. Boas, "I think that such an intelligent body of men ns th-- Board of Estimate is composed of would realize the deep responsibility which devolves upon them in this matter Mr. Grout couldn't see where It was up to the Board of Estimate to make or Inspire patriotic sentiment, especially when ft coat $40,000 to do It.

Mr. Murphy Is going to Washington to-night. Plans were perfected last night by the Executive Committee of the Twenty-first Assembly District Regular Democratic Club to curry the fight against the leadership of James P.

Jamaica and Buah-wick avenues, was ones of the most successful ever held by the organization. The large dance hall was unable to accommodate all those who desired to take part In the affair.

An entertaining programme was presented under the direction of John T. McDermott, chairman of the Entertainment Committee. The feature of the evening was the presentation of a diamond pin to Leader James I. Sinnott by Election Commissioner John Maguire on behalf of tlje members of the association. Is nomination Is erroneous.

He to-day declared to his callers, Including a number of the committeemen, that he could not discuss the question of his nomination, nor could he listen to reports favorable or unfavorable thereto. He does not wish to even seem to be Interfering with the committee's work, or to be using his position President to promote his nom- lratlofi. fhis attltudo has made a most favorable impression. Is jvldent that the Brayton resolution to apportion delegates to National conventions in accordance with Republican votes, which would have the effect of reducing Southern representation to minimum, will bo referred to the Executive Committee and there buried. A resolution will be Introduced, however, bearing upon the disfranchisement of negroes in the South.

This also will be referred to the Executive Committee. The convention seems certain to go to Chicago, and the date, which will be fixed to-morrow, be the second week in June. A. H. 8YTHE Miss Mary Harper, 18 old, of 1,401 Dean street, wrhile returning home from a fair at the Now York Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, last night, was attacked and beaten by two young men.

Miss Harper had taken part in the entertainment at the cliurch and left soon after, unaccompanied. When a short distance from the church, two young men accosted her. She became frightened and ran away. They pursued her and one struck her in the fare and the other tripped her, throwing her to the ground. She gave an outcry and her assailants ran away.

Miss Harper went back to the church and was escorted to her home by a number of her friends. The police were notified, but have found no clew to the young woman's assailants.

ACCUSED OF UIITIIIC SI The first weeks work of the December Grand Jury resulted In the handing up of fourteen Indictments to Judge Crane this morning in Part I. of the County Court. Out of this number three entered pleas of guilty. Nothing of a startling nature w'as contained in the indictments. the crimes charged being all of an ordinary character.

Those pleading guilty were George Watkins, 23 years old, a discharged sailor of the United States battleship Kear-sarge, to attempted burglary In the third degree; Philip Milch, alias Henry Weiner, 19 years old, of 1199 Third avenue, Manhattan, to attempted burglary In the third degree, and Thomas Poranl, 17 years old, of 704 Lorimer street, to attempted grand larceny In the second degree.

MAY RETIRE POLICEMEN OVER 60 YEARS OLD.

There is a great deal of uneas Iness Just now among members of the police force who have grown gray in the service over a section of the charter which empowns the Commissioner to retire, on half pay. any member of the force who has reached the age of 60 years. The section referred to reads in part as follows "And the said department may In like manner reieve and dismiss from the service and place on the roll of the police pension fund, and grant and award a pension to any member of said force other than an honorably discharged soldier or sailor of the Mexican or late War, who shall have reached the age of 60 years."

I BID CUTS TO UE IUADF II SCHOOL EXPENSES INJURED IN (By Publisher Pres WASHINGTON, D. Dec. 11. A mighty Roosevelt chorus is swelling from the corridors of the Arlington Hotel, where the Republican National Com ir.it tee began a two days' session at noon to-day, and Is being taken up In every comer of the capital wherever members of the Republican party can be found. With the Roosevelt refrain comes a bar or so of praise for Senator Hanna.

Tho Senator smiles benignly whenever he hears the strains, but resolutely refuses to grant his followers the wink of an eye to indicate that he would accept the Presidential nomination under any circumstance or condition. Almost as unanimous are the committeemen for Chicago as the convention city as they aro for Roosevelt as the standard bearer of the party. 8t. Louis la still making a perfunctory fight for the honor. It Is admitted by some of her spellbinders that the battle Is being not so much for the convention as for the purpose of showing the world at large her magnificent hotel facilities.

This object lesson Is, of course, for effect on Worlds Fair crowds. It is qutie probable St. Louis will make more of an effort for the Democratic Convention than it is putting up for the Republican gathering. Pittsburg is here with an offer of $100,000 as an entertainment fund for the Republican Convention and New Orleans has Indicated her in tention of making a bid. But it is not at ail probable that Pittsburg gold or New Orleans blandishments will woo the committeemen from Chicago.

Both Chicago and fit. Louis have opened headquarters at the Arlington, where the visitor Is urged to take something." At the World's Fair City parlor, however, the stranger is not so strongly urged to pull for St. Louis' claims for the convention, as he Is solicited to "come to our show next summer." Among Chicago boomers are sixty-five members of the Hamilton Club and several other promt nent citizens of the Windy City. 8. B.

A brief speech of political significance was made by the Speaker. He deemed It assured that Chicago would capture the Republican convention. The work tor the convention Is cut cut, he said. The multitude of the people are for Roosevelt.

It makes no difference what some man here or there may feel. The people are tor him.
