Morton stands. perhaps, an even chance With

not made OUT of early favorites. These are

way he can be defeated 10 by the field COM

w. Q. JUDGES SUCCESSOR.
Mysterious Adept I'm Secret Control
of the Theosoplists' Society.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The Herald this
morning says that the papers of w. @.
Judge. the late leader of the Theosophists
of America, have been examined by three
members of the executive committee The
contents OF the safe were found TO be of
surprising interest, comprising a diary. re-
counting many of Mr. Judges occult doings.
and almost daily communications with the
Mahatnas in Thibet Most surprising of All
was a document, which may be described
as the late hierophants theosophical will
and testament, in which he formally de-
clared his successor. In ii Mr. Judge stated
that in the event OF his death the society,"
instead of finding itself deprived of a d.
recting genius, would prove TO have in its
ranks high adept. worthy in all respects
the document. had the identity of this in
dividual been concealed that it would re-
main unknown save TO an initiated few
The will concluded with a solemn injunc-
ton that Tor the space OF one year the name
OF the new hierophant should remain a
secret. except among those to whom the
communication was addressed.
This mysterious adept is now in practical
control of the society. He communicates
his mandates to those of the inner circle
the rank and file of the society In addi-
ton to these direct and presumably verbal
communications. Ii is said that members
of the inner circle residing on the Pacific
coast and In many distant States have been
mysteriously informed Of the existence of the
new hierophant.
Ii Is also stated that the new leader has
asserted himself. and that his first order
involves the changing OF the convention of
American Theosophlsts from Chicago to New
ton will be he'd at Madison-square Garden
