CONNECIlON WITH POOLROOMS DENIED Claimed That He Had Never Con- sulted.0roker About Appointments and That He Himself \‘Vas the Power In Municipal Altair-5.. NEW YORK, May 17.—Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck was on the witness stand yesterday before the Mazet investigat— ing committee, and at the close of the morning session was excused for one week. At the afternoon session of the committee the principal witnesses were Police Commissioner Sexton and Presi- dent York Of the police board. Mayor Van W’yck gave it as his opin— ion that the conduct of affairs under the new charter has been remarkably satisfactory, but refuspd to express any opinion regarding changes in the city Offices that might tend to improve the administration Of the city’s affairs. There was not much of note about the mayor‘s testimony, and only on one OC- casion did he find reason to make an outbreak. This was when he was ques— tioned by Counsel Moss of the commit- tee regarding the rumored connection of “a man named Van VVyckaith a number of poolrooms. The mayor be- came very angry at this and declared that Mr. Moss had asked the question for the purpose of “insinuation.” He demanded that if any such evidence was on hand to prove any such connec— tion it should be produced before the committee. He denied most emphatic— ally that he had any connection with any poolrooms whatsoever-Cr any ille- gal business. He declared that the mat~ ter should not end with his mere de- nial, but Mr. Moss should be compelled to produce any evidence he had that cOuld lead him to ask such a. question. In this the mayor was supported by Committeeman Hoffman, but for the present the matter will be dropped. Mayor Van XVyck asserted emphat- ically also that he had never consulted with any one regarding the appoint- ments he had made and that be him- self was the most powerful factor in the city administration; that he was guided absolutely by his own affairs and not: by those of Mr. Croker or any one else.
