May 11 (N.AAN.A). — Somewhat bewlidered by all this busi- | ness of investigations, New York is/ watching Samuel Seabury. a native son, oe of Tammany Hall and appointee | ol Gov.

Later | on his powers were extended to the five | boroughs of the city, embracing Aall municipal activities and alleged mis- deeds. Adberes to Best Traditions.
