Much satisfaction IS expires here by the friends Of
secretary McComas Of the Republican National Com
mittee over hi, confirmation by the Senate as one Of
The Judges Of the District OF Columbia Mr.. McComas
has wide circle OF acquaintance in and around New
York, and is deservedly popular. His friendship 10
not confined Republicans by any means as Is shown
BY the fact that among those who labored most
zealously for his confirmation was Mr.. McAdoo. the
ri,liant Young Democratic Congressman OF NewJersey
He and Mr.. McCOmas were in Congress together and
have always been warm friends. The opposition to
Mr. McComas.n sald Mr.. McAdoo. was entirely un-
warranted. for he is in every way entitled 70 the
place even IL he L. u Republican. To have turned such
a man down would have been an outrage and In
glad he triumphed 50 handsomely"
