It wan shortly after 3.S0 o'clock when Diicctor Hitchcock was called into tho recorder's private olllco, wheie ho spent about fifteen minutes. When be en mo out, be went Into his own oflico, closed his desk and left the building. Roootdor Molr was a little bit chary about saying nnyllilng a minute nr two later when seen by a Ti Ibuno man. ASKKD FOIi KKSIOXATIOX. He Dually admitted that he had asked for Director Hitchcock's resig nation and that he expected It would be forthcoming nny minute. When asked why Colonel Hitchcock's lesig nation had been asked for, he said: "Well, circumstances demanded it. Colonel Hitchcock has pleased a great many people by tho manner In which bo has conducted tho depart ment of public safety and he hns also pleased me in a gieat many ways. He has done splendid work in reoigiinlzing tho (Ire department and in other ways, but be has carried many things to extremes. Ho has been too drastic In many ways nnd has allowed the pendulum to swing too far one way, Instead of trying to pieservo a happy medium. "I have not agreed with some of his methods, and while there has been no serious rtasli, nevertheless there have been (inferences of opinion. The Intent of the Muehlbronnor bill is to give tho chief executive control over all tho departments' of tho city gov ernment, and I believe that It Is no more thnn right Hint T should seek to exercise this control when I see nt. 'Personally, 1 have the highest re gard for the colonel and had no es pecial desiie to ask for his resignation just yet. T was asked, bowever. to either have him lesign or remove him. It was pointed out to me that this was the best thing to do for tho patty, and I havo done it." WHAT HITCHCOCK SAID. Director Hitchcock, when seen at bis oflico In the Commonwealth build ing, stated most emphatically that he would not icsign. "Von can say," said ho, "and make it as strong as you like, that T will not resign. X told the ieeord(4" s) when be asked me to, and I am now waiting for a notification of my re moval. If I resigned it would bo a confession on my part that I bad done something I should not have done, or that there was some good reason why T should resign. T feel that f have done nothing that ( should not have done, and T know of no reason, whatever, why I should leslgn. "In fact, the recorder himself gave mo no reason why 1 should resign. He Infmmed me that the powers that bo had demanded my removal, and that he was forced to ask for my resignation. T couldn't see that that was any leason why I should resign. The recorder Informed mo that it was nno of tho most disagreeable things bo had ever boon asked to do in Ills lii'o. "My appointment as diteclor of public safety came to mo unsolicited and I was given carlo blanche to do what T thought just and proper. Dur ing my toim or olllco there has been no friction to amount to anything be tween myself and the recorder. There has been no serious clash. There was a little difference of opinion about tho methods T adopted In so curing evidence against snloonkeep ors who soil to nilnois. DISAPPROVED OF METHOD. "Tho recorder idlsapprovod of 'the hiring of n boy to secure evidence against thc-e people, thuigh he ad mitted that his own agents had u?ed a boy last summer In securing evi dent e against speakeasy keepeis. Vu (lorstand, tli.it ho did not dlsappiovo or the prosecution of liquor dealers for soiling to mlnois. U expressed himself as being heartily In favor of that. It was the method used In se curing evidence that he didn't like. "I desire to say, not In a boasting, vainglorious way but In justice, to my self, that the icenrder has frequently expiessed himself of lato ns being do lighted at the manner in which 1 was discharging the duties of my olllco, 1 feel that I liuvo acted faithfully and conscientiously and, feeling that way, my self-respect will not penult me 10 resign. I could not consistently do so," When The Tribune man saw the re corder a few minutes afterwards and told him that Colonel Hitchcock per sisted In saying that ho would not le slen, ho said that ho would therefore bo compelled to formally renune him, Ho said that he would notify tho col unci of his removal thl mninlug, and that at tho same time ho would appoint F, 1 Wonnser to tlio plnee. THE NEW DIRECTOR. Mr. Wormser, who Is to bo Scr.inton's third director of public, safety, was closeted with tho recorder for neaily half an hour after tho latter odlciars Interview with Colonel Hitchcock. Mr. Wormser is one nf tho heat known Jew ish citizens of the olty, Ho conducts a moat market on Penu avenue, and Is recognized ns a conservative and sound business man, Ho Is it staunch Repub lican, and was for sixteen years the school controller from .tlio Eighth ward. Ho was president of tho school board for several terms. Ho also acted ns collector of poor taxes a few yeais ago and was succeeded by Wnde M. Finn. , Ever since Recorder Molr and Direc tor Hitchcock had an argument, over a week ago, about the securing of evi dence against saloonkeepers, there have been perwlHtont runiois that Colonel Hitchcock would ho nskeit to leslcn. In fact, the icenrder practically told a Tribune man as much last week. The recorder slated yesterday that there would bo tin changes In the police or lire departments. Frank II. Reese will be retained as clerk. It was stated In and nroinul city ball yesteidny Hint the icason Colonel Hitchcock hnd been icniovcd was be cause Charles Robinson, president of the Central Pennsylvania Rrewlng company nnd who In one of the re corder's bondsmen, demanded It In be half nf himself and the Oerinan resi dents of the city, who weie Intensely displeased by some of tho things Direc tor Hitchcock has done since ho as sumed charge of the department of public safety. WHAT CONNEM, SAID. When asked yesterday what lu knew about the rumored change In tho directorship nf public safety, Con gressman Council said: "t have te cclvod lufni innllnu Hint Hie recorder Intends to icplaoo Colonel Hitchcock with another. 1 was asked for nn opinion as 10 the successotshlp and I positively declined to have anything to do with tin? matter In nny form.
