Sleuths Think They Have Man

When the police commleelon meets Hr Crlrele »wt Wire.
Monday night to elect a successor to
former Police Captain Moon, there la a
strong probability that a deadlock will
result on the question of civil service
and that no captain will be choeen.
R la generally believed that the com
mission will bo found equally divided
on the question of whether the new
captain shall be elected for life under
service rules, lining up four and four.
If a motion la put to elect a captain
under civil service uid only four mem
bers vote for It, civil service will be
floored. And then If a motion is put to
sleet under the 61d rules and only four
vote for this motion, the same situa
tion would result. There would be no
flection.
This would mean that the senior ser
geant, who la Sergeant Frank Whitley,
would serve aa captain until the com
missioners could get together and
agrde.
The proposition seems to be one of
the moat complex with which the com
mission has had to deal In some time,
If an election results, It la believed the

City Attorney Mayson some time ago

Former Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
said: ”1 believe Bryan Ib the logical

Former Mayor Carter If. Harrison, of
Chicago: "Ilryan will be the Demo

No Doubt in His Mind,
Congressman John A. .Kellher, of
Massachusetts: "There la not a parti

Democratic party.”
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky: ”1
have long been of the opinion that Mr,
Bryan would be the party’s nominee In
1(08. He will enter that contest far
stronger tlinn ever before, and I be
lieve he will be elected over anjf man

Congressman Timothy Sullivan, of
New York: "Bryan will lie the next

United States. New York will go Into
the convention with a solid Bryun del

It. After the last national convention
Mr. Croker declared that If he ever
