Nevada N. Stranahan discusses a situation at the New York Custom House. William Halpin has requested that Stranahan remove six men who were appointed by John Stiebling and substitute six others named by Halpin. Governor Odell is in favor of the new appointments because he believes that the current condition indicates “collusion with Tammany Hall.” Stranahan is “disinclined to permit changes to be made in districts where there is a primary fight pending.” He would like William Loeb’s advice about what course he should take.
