Hylan Offered $50,000 a Year Job
Bribe' to Keep Him From Being
Candidate at Last City Election
Mayor Makes Announcement at Public Hear
ing on "Salary Boost" Bill, but
Declines to Give Details.
Mayor Hylan intimated to-day that-
before his lenomlnatlon he. was of
fered what amounted to a $50,000 a
year bribe in the guise of a mcmbcr-
hlp salary in a very prominent law
firm on condition that he refuse to
run again for Mayor. Tho Mayor's
innouncement, which was made, at a
public hearing in tho City Hall on a
legislative bill to raise his and
Comptroller Craig's salaries, from
$i:, 000 to $25,000 a year, and Alder-
manic President Hulbcrt's salary
from $7,500 to $15,000 a year, created
sensation In the large audience.
"I 7ant to announce," said the
Maor, "that prior to my rcnomtna-
tion to the office I now hold I was
given assurance that If I did not run
for Mayor again I would be taken
care of in a law firm at a salary of
$50,000 a year."
The Mayor was asked if he would
reveal the name of the firm and the
Identity of the person who mude the
offer. He declined to do either.
'Was It a firm of lawyers which
had handled traction matters or was
Identified In any-waywlth traction?
tho Maor was then asked.
Well" replied the Mayor, "it came
from a source, which, to my mind.
wns never verv friendly to the
people."
Not a voice was lifted In opposition
to the salaries increaso bill. On tne
other hand, the chamber was tilled
with representatives of civil organiza
tions from the five boroughs, who hud
just begged the Mayor to please add
M 0.000 ii year to his salary. Among
these organizations were the .now

"Whether or not you need the
$10,000 a year ixtra. you ought to ac
eept It," said Mr. Metz, "because
Mayor of New York ought to receive
at least $25,00(1 a year, if any Mayo
who comes after you doesn't feel that
he earns $25,C0O a year let him send
the difference to the conscience fund

Sneaking for tho real estate Inter

City Is tho largest corporation In th
United States and that Its lieau
worth at least $25,000 a year. He said
the Mayor should not be bashful about
