Report Of Judge Wylie's Retirement Re.
viVed.

A report that Judge Wylie intends to retire
from the bench soon was circulated very rapidly
today among members of the bar, and excited
gossip as to the possible succession. The report
appears to be based upon a remark recently
made by Judge Wylie, indicating that this was
perhaps his last term of service in the courts of
he will not do until after the 4th Of March, in
order to avoid the criticism that might be pro-
voked by his retiring at this time, and thus tax
ing the appointment of q successor from the
new administration. When STAR reporter
asked Judge Wylie about the report to-day, the
Judge said he had not committed himself to
such course, and the report was unauthorized.
HA had not, he said, made up his mind yet
when he would retire. It was probable that he
would nave such notion some day, and act
hours consideration. There was no ground, be
said, at present for revival of this old report.
