M'DERMOTTRESICNS
TO RESUME LAW
PRACTICE
First Assistant Corporation
Attorney Notifies J. C.
Michael That He Will
Leave Present Position-
Several Candidates After
Job Which Will Be Vacat
ed April 15.
First Assistant Corporation Attorney
McDeimott has resigned to take up the
practice of law with Michael Doran,
Jr., with whom he has formed a part
nership. The resignation was accepted
yesterday by Corporation Attorney
Michael and becomes effective April 15.
The letter of resignation which was
made public yesterday bears date of
March 11. Mr. Michael's reply, ac
cepting it, was not delivered until yes
terday afternoon. It was Mr. Michael
who, at Mr. McDermott's request, made
the date of retirement April 15, though
Mr. Michael in his letter says he would
very much prefer that Mr. McDermott
defer his departure until May. The
reply was replete with cordiality and
greatly deplored Mr. McDgrmott's deci
sion to leave the office.
The notice of resignation, following
the combined effort of the Democratic
members of the two council bodies to
prevail on Corporation Attorney Mich
ael to retain Mr. McDermott as his first
assistant, was a juicy bit of material
for the gossips around the city hall
yesterday and considerable conjecture
was indulged in as to Mr. McDermott's
successor.
Henry A. Loughran, a well known
attorney who has been prominently
identified in the past with Eighth ward
Democratic interests, seems to have
first place, while T. J. McDermott, at
one time in the corporation attorney's
office, has second. Friends, however,
deny that T. J. McDermott is a candi
date.
Successor to Be Named Soon.
Mr. Michael yesterday afternoon
stated that he had n«t decided upon a
successor to Mr. McDennott as yet, but
thought he would be able to announce
the new appointee in a few days. He
said he did not care to discuss the res
ignation except to say that Mr. McDer
mott had been asked by him to remain
until he could complete certain mat
ters.
One of the bier surprises in connec
tion with the resignation was the an
nouncement of a law partnership be
tween Michael Doran, Jr., and Mr. Mc-
Dermott, the retiring assistant. Both
have always been close friends. Mr.
Doran's law practice is somewhat in
terfered with by his official duties as
United States referee in bankruptcy,
and the combination is said to be for
the purpose of combining interests.

For a while yesterday it looked as
though the reception to President

abandoned. Leavitt Corning, com
manding the Roosevelt Republican
club, notified Chief Marshal J. J. Mc-
Cardy that unless the club was given a
position immediately preceding the
president's carriage the organization
would refuse to take part in the parade.
Mari-iiM McCardy, wUd was given
full charge of the parade by the com
mittee on arrangements, however, did
not appear to be seriously disturbed by
the threat made by Mr. Corning and
announced last evening that the order
of the parade would not be changed
and that the three G. A. R. posts would
make up the division immediately pre
ceding the presidential party
