MAYOR TO FORCE j GUDEHUS IN JOB (Three Vare Supporters to i Be Named toRqcrea- tion Board WANTS. CiRDERS OBEYED New Appointees Will Replace Those Whose Resignations ! Were Demanded Three Vare supporters will be ap pointed members of the Board of Rec reation, It Is asserted, to place Edward R. Oudehus, Senator Vare's secretary. In a $3000 Job as superintendent of playgrounds. ' Unless the three members of the Board of Recreation, whose- reslgna tlons have been demanded by Mayor Smith, act Immediately, they will be summarily dismissed and their places filled .by persons Vllline to carry out the Mayor's orders Thfl three Independents ,hae retained eounte! and will make a legal battle agaii st removal tThe Mayor has taken the stand that he does not want any one on the Board of Recreation not In sympathy with his desires so -far as appointments are con cerned. He today expects to receive the resignation of Miss Sophia L Ross, Ernest U Tustln and the Rev. Vfr. Henry Berkowits Steeher to Remain He will make no move to oust William A. Steoher, the feurth member, of the board, who also opposed Gudehus, but It' Is understood that if the other three resign, Stecher's resignation will also bn cent to the Mayor. Just as soon as the members opposed to the appointment of Senator Vare'8 private 'Secretary serul in their reslgna tlons or are notified of their dismissal the Maybr- will name new members to fill their placeB who can be counted upon not to go counter to his wishes relative to a political appointment. At City Hall today It was freely pre dicted that the new Board of Recreation will be composed of friends of Senator Vare and of' Maor Smith. The new members will be chosen with a view to harmonizing their views with those of Robert Smith, James A. Hamilton and B J. Lafferty the three Vare membeis of the present board. The stand taken by Director Krusen, of Health and Charities, that as an cx offlcio member of the board he has no standing in a vote. Is likely to prevent the Mayor, who also fjls an ex-officio member, from attempting to organize and vote in the new board. Often iRxerrlaes Vote Major Smith exercises his right as an ex-ofticlo member of a number of boards and commissions to vote on questions and It Is asserted that If he chose to do so, he could demand a vote In the Board of Recreation. i Names of a number of prominent' so cial and educational workers friendly to the Major and the Varea were freely bruited about today, but the absence of ny definite statement from the Mayor left the whole question open to conjec ture.

Such was the message that a clerk In the Commercial Museum sent to the Department of Justice at Washington. Two expert Investigators were sent here immediately, but learned today that their efforts were fruitless.

She did not know that high school stu dents had the privilege -of asking ques tions The boys contemplated starting a' small laboratory In their homes They asked the clerk questions concerning the making of bombs and explosives, and had hardly left the place before the message waB flashed to Washington.
