10 TOO HOT FOR O'BRIEX? Rumor that Tenderloin Czar Saw Trouble, So "Went Sick." It was widely rumored In the Tenderloin last night that IV.ice «'aptaln Steve O'Brien, who la absent from his command on "sick leave." would never again return to the TVindfrioln police station. C a P* taJn-O'Bri<-n reported himself as being physically unfit for duty Saturday even'ng. He told his ser g*am that he was suffering from a lame back. It w«S:ct'.c*4. however, that when he left the station home he appeared to walk briskly and with ease. and tnls fact caused the "wise ones" to whisper ♦hat the Tenderloin Czar had other good reasons for temporarily abandoning his command. Chief among these rea.«cns Is said to be the fact that O'Brien is powerless to cope with the gambling equation in the Tenderloin because of the political Influences against him. Gambling bouses are run ning full Wast all over the Tenderloin, and the gamblers are said to be so strongly "protected" that they snap their fingers contemptuously at O'Brien's honest efforts to suppress them. Realizing the danger to Wmself in this, situation. O'Brien. It Is said. Is determined not to be caught napping, and so has decided to stay away from his precinct on the plea of sickness for a few weeks. At the end of that period his term of service in th» Pclie- Department will haw expired, and he will b« at' liberty to retire from th» department on half pmr- It Is known that O'Brien lias been trying to "leave the }ob" for some time. Three at four weeks ago he voluntarily went be fore Dr. Quigley. chief of the Board of Police Sur feeona. and aaked for a physical examination. He ■was examined, but, for some reason, no report has ? - ct been made on his case, j O'Brien Is not popular n. the Police Department, and it is said that some of his enemies are not pleased at the prospect of his seeming an honorable retirement and would like to see him "get Into trouble" before his term of- service expires. Last Friday night a strong tip was sent to the gamblers of the upper Tenderloin — the precinct commanded by Captain Zimmerman, who is said to be a protege of "Big Tim" Sullivan— to close up Immediately, as trouble was coming. The tip was •o authoritative that the recipients at once took heed, and on Saturday night the doors of the fram fclers in Zimmerman's precinct were tightly closed. /Or the first time In months. In O'Brien's precinct, however, a score of big rambling houses were running wide open on Satur ■day night. Among these may £c mentioned Daly's. in 2?'h street; Walbaum's, in SM street: Farrell's. In 33d street: Kennedy's, in 32d street; Freeman's. In 3Sth street, and Kenney's places in 31st street. l**th street and 2Pfh street. In addition, forty poolrooniß were doing business in the Tenderloin, er»d many of these had roulette wheels going. The fact that the Ramblers In his precinct re ceived no semi-official tip from the gambling "combine" to close up is «r.id to have opened O'Brien's eyes to the fact that a plot was being hatched to "do him." It is no secret that th» gambling syndicate is headed by ■ prominent Tam many politician who is not friendly toward O'Brien. In '■ ■■*■ Tenderloin it ii« rumored that District Attorney Jerome intends to begin another whole f»ale crusade pgalnst gambling. Last Friday Pep taty «'onimi*sioner Mathot. Inspector Druhan and Captain O'Rrien were closeted with Jerome in the District Attorney's office. Th« object of the con ?»ron' ■" was not disclosed. Last night, however. It was whispered that the conference concerned the gambling situation, and that O'Brien, realizing that th*> gamblers were too strong for him. was determined not to be caught by the Jerome avalanche and di«=jrrac<»d. and Therefore "went sick" on Saturday night.

Those back of Jerome be lieve he represents that independence of thought which has led many to go over to the Hearst camp, and that with his name as a rallying cry they will he able to disintegrate many of the so-called Hearst organizations in various coun ties. .lEROMR MAY RUN ANYHOW. But If the Hearst movement gains strength and his followers are able to control the regular Democratic convention, then, according to the programme as it is being formulated now. Mr. Jerome will file his Independent nominating pe titions and Ju'np into a three-cornered fight for the Governorship. Such a campaign. , if it comes, will l»e remembered for many years. The conservatives rely on Jerome to flay Hr3;st in much the manner he Cayed the Tammany can didate for District Attorney last fall. It was- pointed rut last night that a stron? factor in ijiducing the District Attorney to run a* a candidate for Governor was that in so do ing he would not have to resign as District At torney. So he would have nothing to lose and everything to gam. If any criticism should be directed at him for his refusal to resign from his present office, he would probably reply that he did not want to give a Republican Governor the chance to appoint his successor, and. if he won he would appoint a man In sympathy with the policy he had been pursuing in the District Attorney's office. It is understood that Mayor McClellan before he sailed expressed much interest in the sugges tion that Mr. Jerome might be the Democratic candidate for Governor, and it is believed that whatever strength the Mayor has will be thrown to Mr. Jerome tn the state convention. While Jerome has fought and bitterly assailed Tam many- in municipal elections, the success of Ed ward M. Grout clearly showed that a record as an independent did not prevent the "bosses" from taking him up as a capdldate. and rather aided him at the polls In running: as a regular candidate It is believed that if Jerome should show the strength it is hoped he will develop throughout tli» state. Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany 00?=:. and Senator Patrick H. McCar rep. the Kings County leader, will line up with him In the convention. McCarren could never be induced to support Hearst in the convention, and after the primaries Murphy will have no more use f«r Hearst. Ex-Governor Odell is expected at the Fifth Avenue Hotel tp-day. He trill fee a number of the \arn\ leaders and several from our of town regarding the meeting of the Republican State Committee on Wednesday.

Odell is said to be anx ious for an early convention, that I", one In the same week as the Democratic convention, while the Hfggins forces are in favor of October 2. it is said.
