No Radical Police Bill Shapes New York City Politics
The Republican organization in New York County is unlikely to push radical police reforms through the Legislature. Commissioner Jacob Hess's term ends this month amid illness, with rumor of successors ex-Commissioner Thomas T Hamilton or Charles S. Wilbur. Ex-Senator Gibbs, a Hamilton ally, says the party will not name a new Police Commissioner for Mayor Van Wyck, and Platt and Odell will not sign a Wilbur recommendation. Gibbs hints Hamilton may still be appointed, while noting Van Wyck might reappoint him if previous removal is reversed.
