= CROUTMUST TELL ABOUT CUMISKY Dietriot-Attorney Jerome Says Latter Has Been Carried on City’s Payroll While Con- ducting a Pool-Room. SELDOM SEEN AT COMPTROLLER’S OFFICE. ‘While Receiving a Salary of $1,800 a Year as an Exam- iner of Accounts Most of His Time Is Spent Elsewhere. T™ this campaign, in which the inter- Fogation mark figures largely in street ear sigus and Dill board posters, Comp- troller Edward M. Grout will be called ‘on to face a poser in shape of the charge that he has carried on the pay- foil of his office as “Commissioner of Accounts,” a man whom Diastrict-At- ‘orney Jerome’ says is manager of the Greatest pool-room business in New ‘York, and for whom Representative Timothy D. Sullivan is political ‘eponsor. Bugene J.

In the Comptroller's office it is no @eoret that Mr. Cumisky does not re- ‘port oftener than {s necessary to draw jhis salary, and that the explamation ot ‘hig “pull’ ig the fact that he ts ‘Tim’ Bullivan’s confidential agent.

WANTED HUGH J. GRANT TO BE THE CANDIDATE. First Big Contribution Said to Have Been Returned by Murphy, but New Terms Were Arranged Later. There ts a tale current in Republican circles concerning the foundation of @he enormous bank roll that Tammany Hell 1s safd to possess in this campaign. ‘This tale involves more than purely local issues, In its ramifications can be scon the reported hostility of Wall street and the gigantic trust interests to the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt for re- election. It encompasses the collapse of the boom of Hugh J. Grant for the Tam- many nomination and the commonly accepted theory thet the men of mill- fons antagonistic to Roosevelt are work- ing for the success of McClellan for the effect that a Democratic victory in New York this fall would have upon the Na- tional situation next year. According to this plece of gossip Hugh J. Grant, when he returned from Burope last month, was approached by mon high in finance with a proposition that he enter the lists for the Tammany nom- ination, It will be remembered that on the day he landed the newapapers re- ported that he was a ilkely candidate. Mr, Grant, being then uninformed aa to the sentiment of the element that con- sidered him the man most avaliable, \e- nied that he was in any way concerned in the question. + They Converted Grant. But, the story goes, Mr. Grant was made to see otherwise the first time he got into communication with the Wal: street interests that are against Roose- velt and for Tammany. These interests include Republicans of high standing. They believed that with Grant on the {Tammany ticket the chance of Mayor Low for re-election would be so smal fas to be Indistingutshable. There is a potent path to Tammany. ‘The signboards are dollar marks. This pain is known to Wail street, and Mr. Grant, the story specifies, was chosen as the guide. He satrusted with o bundle of money 1 enough to dazz'o the eyes of even eo ambitious a leader as Charles F, Murphy. ‘The names of the men who are men- toned as contributors to this fund are names prominent in financial news.
