BUILDING PROBE WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL (Continued From First Page.) busy man and should have an oppor- tunity to give the matter hie best attention. His request ia entirely Next Monday was set for the mak- ing of motions, The ‘extent to which the ctty trea- sury has been depleted because of the unfair methods of bidding and rake-offe by dishonest labor union officials exploiting the men they wore eletted to protect was likely, accord- \ing to statements of members of the Committees to-day, to have share of the attention of the investigators. Mayor Hylan, who has denied flat- counsel to the committees, to Comp- roller Craig, is to have an opportu~ nity to appear at a witness. He re- fused to-day to have anything to say on the subject at all. ‘The committee wants to know whether contractors on school and other bulkiings for the city had to make allowances in their bids for “Ingurance” or rebates to non-com- peting builders and for tribe pay- ments to dictators over building trades workmen. There are school contracts now outstanding of $12,- 000,000. On some of the buildings there have been delays due to strtkes. The testimony of one of John T. Hettrick’e metal lathing and furring contractor clients was recalled in this connection. Asked what par- “|reoently voted to cancel and his ie tere from Hetrick suggesting prom- ised “labor support” to the Mayor political ambitions, UNTERMYER WON'T Discuss HYLAN'S REPLY. In Mr. Wntermyer's letter criticiz- Ing the Mayor, written to Comptrol- lor Craig, he took the Mayor to\task on the polnts above outlined. Mr. Untermyer declined to-day to comment on the Mayor's statement that the allegation was false, that he had not acted in the Court House matter until the exposure, except to remark that the “record speaks for itself." The “record” referred to by Mr. Untermyer shows that the Mayor firat evidenced Interest in the coming Lockwood inquiry back in September, when he wrote Mr. Untermyer that he would place all the city departments at the committee's disposal A little later he sent a ,similar missive to Senator Lockwood, the committee's Chairman. Nothing more was heard from him in the matter until the frat hearing was called, when for an hour he sat with the committee and \ts- tened to the taking of testimony. 224. It was while the third hearing was in progress that the Mayor can- celled the Court House contract, in- troducing the cancelling resolution tn the Board of Estimate himself. The record, therefore, shows that the Mayor erred when he stated, Sdtur- day night, that he took action before the committee's investigation was well underway. Commissioner of Accounts Hirach- field sald to-day he had already found rounds for belief that school- ‘house (f not other contracts were subject to graft exactions which were in the end pajd by taxpayers. In examining into ell pending city contracts by Mayor Hyten's direc- tion he said be had taken the seven- page affidavit of Dennis BE.
