Moore nnd Kenntor Vnre.
"All I cnn n? Is thnt T do not know

"The Mnyor hns henrd thnt some of
the political lender nre dissatisfied
with one thltiR or nnother, but especlnlly
with rejrnrd to the slow distribution of
places due to the civil service.
"This Is not serious cnouRh to give
any one concern.
"The Mnyor hns been In public life
Ions enough to know thnt he ennnot
please everybody, nil n which Is to be
regretted.
"But tho Mnyor Is Mayor of nil tho
pople, nnd cannot sntlsfy Individuals
bovc the public Interest. lie ennnot
even keep every street Inmp lighted, nor
every hole In the Btreet repaired. Nor
can he stop every blnckleg from com

"He enn do his best, nnd that he is
trying to do, to serve nil the people re

along ns routine in ofMelnl life.
Kvpccts Conspiracy
"If there is a political conspiracy
egalnFt the Mayor be will not be
shocked, because he knows such things
nro possible, although he dots not be
lieve in tho present Instance, and at
this time, that there is any ground for-n
conspiracy. It does not seem possible.
It does not appear thnt anything could
bo gnlned by n conspiracy.
"If those who have been friendly to
the Mnyor propose to lonvc him, where
win they go?
"Do the Vnres propose to maintniu
both nollticnl orsnnl7ntlons the city
committee and the Alllnncc? It docs not
sound very probable.
"No." sntrt thn Mavor. smiling. "th
looks like midsummer madness. I don't

Ho concluded thnt ho wns not at all
disturbed, but would watch nnd wait.
Senator Vnre dcclnred this morning
there wns no foundntion for reports

ticipation in Philadelphia politics.
To Stay In Politics
"Thero Is nothing in thnt." he note.
"Of course, I would like ns much help
as I enn get from nctlvn pnrty men and
lenders like Thomas F. Watson, the
chnirman of tho Republican city com
mittee, nnd Councilman Chnrles II.

self, I know there is no basis for the
uiiort."
Administration lenders said Aiynnce
men of nny standing certainly would
not desert, no mntter wlmt their reel

"I havo no Itnowledgo of such n com
