Gov. Whitman, whose “secret stairway” at the Cap- itol caused such a furore, will sym- hize. Suspicion of a private way out, an unofficial getaway, was first aroused in City Hall when the Mayor was seen one minute demolishing a cheese sandwich at a desk piled high with reports from Dave Hirshfield and the next instant was out in the Broadway sunshine bowing right and left ‘to “the people.’* The patiently awaiting gatherings in the anteroom did not see him de- part. Neither did the policeman in the hall who commands the two doors with a good pair of eyes, Even Lieut. Quinn, keenest of them all, was non- plussed. This is what happened. Wheeling n his swivel chair the centre of his sanctum the Mapor opens a closet innocent enough {ooking to contain only a few bottles. This closet is enter lookouts: fakers, among hunters, with panaceas for the upper landing of a spiral stair way—you know the Sapho kind. At the bottom of the stairway is another closet, In fact the entire stairway is as narrow as a dumb-waiter. How- ever, the generous stband of John F, Hylan—his point of weatest resistense, was taken in considera- tion when the stairs was built. And from the bottom of the stairway through the basement hallways to the street. The first step in the erection of the secret stairway was the acquirement of the basement space immediately neath the Mayor's suite of offices. This was formerly occupied by tie Roard of Child Welfare. It was explained that the Mayor neede the space below to fly to when he wanted to get away from the telephones and the crowds of of- fice seekers, But no mention was ever made of the spiral stairway An unsuccessful effort was made to Inspect the Mayor's cellar shower bath and secret stairs to-day. John *, Sinnott, Secretary to the Mayor, was asked to show the press through Hizzoner’s basement compartments. “The Mayor has the keys,”’ he re- plied. “You can gain admission only through him,’ The Sinking Fund Commission under the impression that it has something to do with the allotment of space in City Hall. But Mayor Hylan evidently doesn't agree with this viewpoint, for he had the spiral stairway buflt and the basement addition made to his office without the formal action of that body. Neither City Chamberlain Berolzhei- mer, a close friend of the Mayor's or Comptroller Craig had ever heard of the staircase.
