The expected open clash between District Attorney Whitman and the Curran Aldermante Police Investigating Committee came to-day when Mr, Whitman, denying that he had recom- mended Max Steuer as counsel for the Curran Committee, called Alderman H.

Mr. Curran declares positively that Mr, Whitman did recommend Attorney Steuer as chief inquisitor and that the District Attorney mentioned Steuer to several men as the best man for the place, despite the fact that Mr, Steuer is attorney for “Bridgie’’ Webber, im- Plicated in the Rosenthal murder, and for former City Chamberlain Hyde, The first indication of a rupture came when District Attorney Whitman, in conversation with friends, expressed considerable regret that Emory R.
