MAYOR IS FACED WITH DISSENSION AMONG EMPLOYES Ward Chairmen Complain of Appointments by Controller HogueBeaten in the Republican race for Governor and in the contest for control, of the county organization Mayor Shank faces dissension within his own official family. According to city hall gossip, it’s all because of the mayor’s firing and hiring bee in which he got rid of those he considered disloyal to him in ;he primary and the county convention. Applicants Are Many When Shank cut some twenty-five men off the pay roll there were about two applicants for every vacancy. And, as has been the case on several other occasions when there were a number of jobs to be passed out, City Controller Joseph L. Hogue named quite a number from the Fourth ward. The ward, as a whole, has not been very strong for Shank, so some ward chairmen in other sections have been kicking about Hogue's coup. It is understood that Harry Newby, chairman of the Eighth ward and superintendent of the municipal garage vowed he was going to the mayor to register strong protest. Women .Are Uneasy Another factor working toward disruption was the mayor’s threat that at least seven girls and women in the city hall would lose their jobs because they did not render the right kind of service primary day. Result: Women employes talked over plans to go on the war path. Three of them, heretofore understood to be strongly intrenched in the mayor's favor were making joke bets that each would be the first to go.
