1 OFFERED TO O'BRIEN, Mayor Strong Admits Tendering & Police Oommissionership. The Ex-Sheriff Holding Off for Pri- vate Reasons. But It Is Evident Me Can Have It at Any Time, Mayor Strong, in an interview with an /Bvening World” reporter this forenoon, cleared up several doubtful questions which have been troubling the politi- clans of late. In the first place, he said of the pros- pective appointment of ex-Sherift ‘Jim- my” O'Brien to a Police Commissioner- ship that O'Brien had told the truth ‘when he said that the Mayor had offered him the place. “Mr. O'Brien's statement,” he sald, ‘which I see printed in a morning paper, fs the exact truth. “I told him shortly after my election that the victory of November last was largely due to his efforts and hard work for the ticket. I cold him that I thought he was entitled to some recognition, and I voluntarily tendered him the office of | Police Commissioner. there may ‘The asst Sppolntinent, “ana int matter what you say. “PPO Mr. O'Brien added: ‘Mott surety 1 never aaked the Mayor to appotat me. The conversation between us wae as Just related. Concerning the appointment of Ed- ward Mitchell as a Police Commission- er, the Mayor sald: “Mr, Mitchell has not yet signified his intention to accept the office, I ex- Pect though to hear from him within a short time. The rumor that I have Robert Grier Monroe in mind for a Commissioner {s without foundation." The report that the Mayor had tn- tended to appoint Mr. Monroe to a Commissionership has been in the po- litical atmosphere of City Hall for the past forty-eight hours, and the visit of Mr. Monroe to Mayor's office this forenoon gave color. to the story. The Mayor had a joint conference with ‘ommissioner Andrews and Com- missioner Waring this forenoon, fait that it was only an informal talk ! about department matters, and of no particular importance.

Asked if then the matter was entirely settled, and that O'Beien would posiyve- ly not be appointed, the Mayor sald“that in a certain sen the matter was still epen, and intimated that the ex-Sheri(f could even now have the place If he Woul! take tt This is the etatement made by O'Brlen, referred to by the Mayor: Ex-Sherift James said Bie!
