While fx is not probable that the Mayor will make any appointments before next Wednesday, unless he changes his an- nounced plans, there a great yourrying about among the office-seekers w-day to complete the schemes which hey have been concocting ever since Mection da: There are, of course, some of the big places about which the Mayor has \iready made up his mind, among which ire the Public Works Commisionership ind the Corporation Counsel. No name is heard oftener in connection with tho latter office than that of Fran- is M. Scott, though Austen G. Fox is close second, according o the ratings f the political tipsters.

Both A: © Viatt Visitors im Mayor ‘s Office. Mayor Strong's two most important Visitors this forenoon were ex-Chairman Wiilam Brookfield and Supt. of Police Thoums Byrnes, Both gentlemen ar- rived while ine Mayor was presiding at & meeting of the Boand of City Record. Mr. Brookfield's presence in the May- or's office at once revived the story that he was to be the next Public Works Commissioner, When approached on the subject, however, Mr. Brookfield would only laugh good-naturedly and say that he didn't know anything about anything. Supt. Byrnes got Private Secretary Hedges over against a window, and the two had a lengthy conversation, Mr. Byrnes was evidently in @ hurry, for he left the office before the Mayor wes ready to see him, but not until he hag stepped over to where Mr, Brookfield stood and whispered a word in that gen- tleman's ear. i what Mr. oulre a lucky Brooktield sald In Superin- tever it tendent’s was, Chauncey M. Depew, bustled in about 11.0 o'clock and shook hands with Mr. Brookfield and Warner Miller, who said that It was the first time In his life that he had been in the Mayor's office. Asked if his visit had anything to do with helping fix up the appolatment slate, Mr. Depew sald no; that had only ‘called to see how the Mayor's gout was, Among the Mayor's other visitors were Carl Schurz and Cornelius N. Bliss, both of whom had a talk with His Honor. Mr. Brookfield spent about five minutes in conversation with the Mayor, and then left the office. id he was joing to Florida very soon to take a long rest. This would seem to indicate that Mr. Brookfleld will not accept any office under the new Administration. — LEXOW AND POUND SEE GOFF. Ex-Investigators and Ex-Co: Chat in the Recorder's Office. Recorder Goff adjourned his court to- day at noon in order to go to a meeting of the Sinking Fund Commission. He did not go at once to such a meeting, how- ever, but went into his private office and had a long talk with Senator Pound, of the Lexow Committee, who had called’ to se: him. ‘The conference lasted for over halt an houi and every one was denied admit- tance while it lasted. nator Lexow also called to see Re- corder Goff and was closeted with him anc Senator Brown. Senator Lexow said when he came out. “I merely called to see my old friend ‘to have a chat with him. and I don't think that the subject of the Recorder's bill was brought up at all, 1 believe that the bill will go through. There are certain modifications which T think will be made, howe 1 do not care to say what these changes will be. “I don't know when the Investigating Committee will meet again, I have been hounded. so lately that I haven't much ambition In that direction. — =—____ LEXOW CALLS ON PLATT. that the Police Pa Senator Clarence Lexow called on Thomas C.

This was thought to be too much, and tle lioa'@ of Charities and Correction will be notified to look out for cheaper quarters.

Upward of a thousand street cleaners thered about the Criminal Court Bullding this morning, clamoring for the three weeks’ pay which they claim {s due them. They filled the building and the streets in the neighborhood and waited while John Mullins and a committee went into Commissioner War- ing’s office to find out whether or not they were going to be paid. Mullins saw Chief Clerk Brennan, who sald it was imporsible to pay the men to-day because there was no money at the disposal of the Department. The | committee retired and Mullins mounted the steps to address the crowd. “Men,” he said, “Mr. Brennan tells me you can’t get your money because the! Department has no money to give you. My advice is for you not to return to work until you are paid." | A delegation representing the 2,900 ex- tra street sweepers and snow shoveilers | Went to City Hall in an effort to see Mayor Strong and make a complaint against Btreet-Cleaning Commissioner aring.
