Close upon the heels of Tuesday's
election has followed the usual after
math of gossip in county and munici
pal circles as to probable appoint
ments, reorganizations of departments
and the possibility of reapportion
ment of the duties of members of the
new City Council.
Neither the county nor city reins
of governments change hands until
aft T January 1. but. while the new
officers Ujemselves decline to discuss
theso matters us yet, reports of prob

quoted as favoring the incorporation
of the fire and police branches of

Anotaer current report is that the

partment of public safety may be re
lieved of the bureau of health and
sanitation and that this with the tire
department may be added to the of

has been argued during the last year

burdensome of some of the construc

No Trolley Service
on Proposed Walnut
St. Viaduct Is Report
Trolley service between the western
half of the city and Allison Hill via
the proposed Walnut street bridge
across the Pennsy tracks is not con
templated by the association of Hill
citizens, who boosted the passage of
the $300,000 bridge loan, according to
William A. Mcllhenny, one of the offi
cers.
According to reports from Pen
brook, borough officials and citizens
believe that the construction of the
bridge might mean better car service
but Mr. Mcllhenny said to-day that
tracks across the structure had not
been considered. Proper service he
thinks will be provided by way of
Market street beyond Reservoir park.
Nothing will be done so far as the Hill
association is concerned, he added, un
til the new Council re-organized when
the commissioners will likely be asked
to pass an ordinance authorizing the
preparation of plans and specifica
tions.
The whole problem which will in
clude the laying out of the Capitol
i park extension zone, will be discussed
it is understood at a joint meeting
j within a week or ten days of the City-
Planning Commission, the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings, and
Warren H. Manning, park expert.
STOLEN AUTO RECOVERED.
The five-passenger automobile stol
en from Hoffman and Kerns, tailors,
337 Chestnut street, last night, was
found standing in the road near New
Kingston this morning. It had been
deserted by the thieves who evidently
had run out of gas and oil.

WILSON RAPIDLY

Effects of German Opposition

REPUBLICANS GAINING
Mexican Policy Also Plays Part
in Election; Progres
sives Dissolve
Washington. D. C., Nov. 4.—lf the
elections In States and concessional
districts show anything of a national
aspect. It is that the trend is back to
the Republican party and that the
strength of President Wilson is largely
imaginary.
Another significant thing reflected in
the returns is that the large German
1 vote went almost in a body to the Re
publicans. The best evidence of this
is seen in Maryland, where there is a
good-sized German population. There,
with the Democrats holding a lead of
40,000 In the registration over the Re
publicans, the result on the governor
ship was close. In Maryland and Mas
sachusetts the gubernatorial candi
dates sought to introduce national
issues and in the latter State the
Democrats lost control.
