26 FOES OF WALKER SEOFE AT “SPHING 5 No One Would Tap Mayor’s Wires to Learn City Secrets, Says La Guardia. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, October 2.—Opponents of Mayor James J. Walker in the mayoralty campaign today ridiculed charges that telephone wires serving the executive offices in the City Hall had been tapped. Announcement by Charles M. Kerri- gan, assistant to Mayor Walker, that a terminal box in the City Hall basement had been found broken open and a short piece of wire discovered inside, indicat- ing activities of a wire tapper, caused a furore in city political circles. Police Commissioner Whalen assigned a squad of detectives to the task of hunting for the wire tapper. “If they wanted to find out anything about the city's business they wouldn't tap the mayor's wire,” Fiorello M. La Guardia, Republican candidate for mayor, said. “This is certainly a compliment to Whalen’s policing. =By the time I get ready to go to City Hall on January I there probably won't be any City Hall left.” Richard E. Enright, former police commissioner and candidate of the Square Deal party, said: “I hope they didn't tap the wire be- tween Tammany Hall and the City Hall. It is the most important wire in the city administration.” In addition to evidence of tampering with the terminal box from which the 17 telephones in the mayor’s suite are distributed, detectives found a short piece of wire leading #o a seat in the balcony of the aldermaniac chamber from a telephone cable. This was be- lieved to be where the listener was sta- tioned while a confederate manipulated the temporary connections at the terminal box. Suspicions of attaches of the mayor's office were aroused by unusual noises and other defects in the telephone service during the past two weeks. Mayor Walker, who was at his hon® being treated for a cold, said he had no personal knowledge of tapping of tele- phones in his office. .. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. ‘TODAY. Fred G.
