JIMMY WALKER KEEPS MUM ON OUSTER DEMAND Muzzles His Famous Wit While Governor Roosevelt Studies Charges. By tJnilr.il Pretn NEW YORK, March 19. —For the firWt time in Mayor James J. Walker’s two terms in city hall there was an abrupt ending today of the “wise cracks’’ and ready wit which made him famous. Immediately after publication Wednesday by Governor Roosevelt of the six general and ten specific accusations of incompetence, laxity and misfeasance in office brought gaainst the mayor by the city affairs committee, Tammany Hall leaders put through a frantic telephone call to Walker, who is vacationing in Palm Springs, Cal. They told him, according to reports, that the time for wisecracking was past. A summary of the charges was read to him over the telephone, and he was urged to maintain complete silence concerning them. Keeps Perfect Silence Evidence that the mayor intended to follow their advice was given later in the day, when he refused to say anything about the charges to newspaper men who called him from New York. Governor Roosevelt, whose decision on the charges will determine whether or not an investigation will be made into Walker's official acts, has emphasized that he is acting in a strictly judicial capacity in the matter. He refused to make any comment preceding announcement of his decision, and warned against inquiries or speculation. Four Courses are Open There are four possible courses open to Governor Rosevelt. He can refuse to act on the charges. He can call the mayor “on the carpet’’ as soon as the latter returns from California, reprimand him, and threaten to remove him unless he remedies conditions. He can present the charges to the legislature with the advice that although the charges do not justify removal proceedings, they are grounds for investigation by a legislative commission. He can await the adjournment of the legislature, and, if it adjourns without ordering an investigation, appoint a commissioner to investigate the charges against the mayor. Tire Governor also may suspend the mayor for thirty days pending investigation of the charges. FRED HOKE TO SPEAK Murat Caravan Club to Have Ceremonial at Luncheon.
