No Plan Decided On Police Desk Change in New York
Plans for police legislation were discussed at two conferences with Senator Platt and Governor Theodore Roosevelt leading the talks. They avoided firm commitments on a Police Department bill and declined to announce specifics, while indicating broader dialogue on reforms including potential transfer of the Bureau of Elections from the Police Department. Local Republicans sought clarity as to future police legislation, but few details emerged. Tammany Hall and Democrats tracked Republicans closely, warning of political battles and the influence of the police in Albany.
