Te be Conductor bishop of St. Louis With
Bishop Kenrick, II Is said,
Yesterday report was received by
telegraph that Right Rev, BishOp Kahn,
OF this diocese, had been appointed
coadjutor to Bishop Kenlick, OF st.
Louis, 1t has been regarded as prob
able, for some time, that this action
would be taken. Tho story was given
as current in st. Louis Catholic circles,
and as having emanated from Arch
bishop Ryan.
When Bishop Kahn was asked about
it he was inclined to doubt the authen.
ITCHY OF the report. He said he had
received no official information of any
such action, and he was inclined to
doubt the truth OF the story for this
reason, as he thought he would be per-
sonally informed as soon as the fact was
known to Archbishop Ryan.
IL seems probable that II the appoint
ment had been decided upon the Asso.
ciated Press cable dispatches would
have announced the fact, and rs they
have not so far, the rumor seems to be
subject to considerable doubt.
