without making a move which might have precipitated a clash. While Negley was at lunch, Holmes worked his way into the inner office. Fred W. Connell, Ira Haymaker and Robert F. Miller, board of safety members, were holding the fort. Swap Pleasantries They exchanged pleasantries about the report that Holmes had planned contempt of court action against Negley. “Why, those letters of yours to us looked like contempt of court to me,” Connell said. “What? Would you regard those very courteous letters asking for your resignations as contempt?” replied Holmes. “Why, any citizen has a right to ask you to resign.” Miller and Haymaker started to leave. “Better not leave Fred in here alone,” said Holmes. “I might throw him out.” / The others answered: “That’s all right. You’re welcome in here any time.” Negley appeared at the mayor’s office Sunday morning and remained until late in the afternoon. He was in conference much of the time with his "city controller,” Frank Cones, and members of the board of safety. Negley and Cones prepared pay checks for city employes and school teachers. These had been prepared, but carried Mrs. John Duvall’s signature and had to be rewritten. Expect Suit to Be Filed Holmes is expected to step aside from his “mayoralty” endeavors” long enough today to file a motion in the quo warranto suit brought in Circuit Court last week by Joseph Hogue, city controller under the late former Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank Hogue, naming John L. Duvall, mayor, sought to have him ousted, on the ground that his violation of the corrupt practices act was committed before he took the office. As a result, Hogue contends Shank would have continued as mayor and since his death, the Shank city controller should step in. Hogue had that office. Hogue called on Negley today, exchanged greetings and said he was awaiting the outcome of the Superior Court action. Myers Won’t Act Holmes said he planned to take some' action in the matter before Tuesday, as attorney for Duvall. Walter Myers, Democratic candidate for mayor in 1925, who said he "refused to engage into any scheme to get the office, and William C. Buser, former Duvall city controller, declared they would not enter the scramble for office. “There are enough contenders in the race now,” said Buser. “I got out of politics three months ago and I’m going to stay out.” Negley arrived at city hall at 8 a. m. The police guard of a sergeant and five patrolmen, which had maintained a vigil over the mayor’s and controller’s office over the week-end was reduced to Sergeant Helm. The Negley board of works, headed by Oscar Smith, met for a session postponed from Friday, to adjourn again pending the court decision on the mayorship tangle. Miss Pearl Nichols, Duvall’s stenographer and secretary gathered up her belongings and announced she had resigned because there “isn’t any mayor,” and therefore no need of a mayor’s stenographer. Negley installed Miss Fannie Pierce, 1231 W. Thirty-Fourth St., in her place.
