Cirillo, 75, apparently didn't know FBI agents were coming to his Long Island home early yesterday to arrest him, and left a scrap of paper on the kitchen table listing the names of five aspiring wiseguys, authorities said.

The mob wanna-bes were slated for induction into the crime family, authorities said.

After agents showed up at his Long Beach home, Cirillo (at right) changed out of his pajamas into a gray suit. He donned a matching felt fedora hat and scarf just before being fitted with handcuffs.

Along with Cirillo, three other reputed captains of the Genovese family - John (Johnny Sausage) Barbato, 70, Lawrence (Little Larry) Dentico, 81, and Anthony (Tico) Antico, 59 - were charged with racketeering, murder conspiracy, extortion and loan-sharking.

The defendants are allegedly members of the Westside Crew, a ruling panel that runs the crime family in the absence of imprisoned Genovese boss Vincent (Chin) Gigante.

"Our hope is that the indictment will serve as their retirement papers," FBI Acting Assistant Director John Klochan said.

Like Gigante, whom mobsters referred to by pointing to their chin so his name wouldn't get picked up by listening bugs, Quiet Dom is also known by a gesture, sources said.

Instead of mentioning his name aloud, a finger to the lips demonstrating "be quiet" denoted Cirillo, the sources said.

Cirillo's son, Nicholas, disappeared last May and is presumed to have been killed after having a beef with the son of a Bonanno bigwig weeks earlier.

The elder Cirillo refused to cooperate with cops investigating his son's disappearance.
