The mem bers of the graft prosecution be lieve their plan for the govern mental rehabilitation of San Fran cisco will be worked out imme diately. The attitude of the con servative leaders of the commer cial and labor organizations asked to select Boxton's successor seems to justify the faith of the prosecu- District Attorney Langdon be lieves the quotas of delegates will be filled before Saturday night and that the convention can be assembled and its work completed on Monday. As booh as the new mayor Is selected Boxton -will resign and his successor \rill be sworn In. The prosecution In sists that it l« absolutely sure of Its legal grounds and fully expects that it \u25a0w ill be relieved of the unwelcome task of municipal administration before the end of next week. So confident Is the prosecution that It declines to consider the. contingency of failure, Spreckels, Langdon and Heney fully believe~4hat with the selection of delegates they will be released from the multitudinous duties thrown upon them by the conviction of Schmitz and the, confession of the bribe-taking su pervisors. GOOD FAITH OF PROSECUTION ' Leaders of both commercial and la bor organizations. Including those who \u25a0were Tiot prepared to give the prose cution's plan their unqualified Indorse ment, were unanimous In their expres sions of confidence in the good faith of th<* proponents. The plan submitted by the prosecution has quieted the charges of political chicane /brought against fipreckels and his associates. "While a few Individuals Identified with either commerce or labor were dis posed yesterday to scout the practica bility of the prosecution's -plan, none was disposed to decry the motives be hind it. 5.

The time limit set by the prosecution obviates the . possibility of action by the membership of the.sev eral organizations, and the delegates < will be chosen by the directorates. • The directors of four, of the commercial or ganizations will meet today, and those of the fifth tomorrow.. The building trades council will meet tonight and the labor council tomorrow evening.' [ SPRECKELS IS OPTIMISTIC Rudolph Spreckel* said . yesterday': "I have absolute faith In the success ful consummation of jthe plan for. the Immediate election of a mayor. /We have kept faith with the people.,, A« nearly as might be we have turned the selection of the bead of the new gov ernment over to the whole people. We leave It to them. : I am convinced the delegate* chosen by the several organ izations will - have no difficulty In agreeing upon a man .who will be a credit to San Francisco and to. the wis dom of his electors! We believe that the representatives of labor and capita] will lose , sight of any personal differ ences they may have and. will \u25a0choose a mayor who ] will be an honest servant of all the people.

It was written by Commissioner Franklin K. Lane, and it is understood that It contains caustic denunciations - . of Harrlman's acts In connection with the j watering of the stock of the Chicago and -Alton and the San Pedro and Salt . Lake railroads, and the throttling of competition .on other lines. As the- commission -has Jurisdiction : only In. cases . coming "un der the - interstate commerce laws, n its report as ; to violations of 'the Sherman antitrust act does not'necessarily make it imperative for, the government to be gin prosecutions. \ The, department of Justice *may take cognizance of ;these portions of the . report and * It , may, not as it pleases.' It Is not known, whether, the commission has! certified ".'any charges to . the department of Justice Involving '"volatlons of \u25a0: the . interstate commerce laws.
