WHEELER IS IN THE LEAD
HE IS OPPOSED ON THE GROUND
OF sECTARIANIsM..
Arthur Rodgers Supports the Cor
nell Man-Dr. Cohn Is Be-
hind Professor w. Cary
Jones.

The Regents of the State University will
assemble next Tuesday at Mark Hopkins
Institute to fight the battle Tor the new
president of the institution at Berkeley.
The friends of Professor Benjamin Ide
Wheeler of Cornell are so confident of
success that they are opposing all propo-
sitions for delay. The adherents of Pro-
fessor William Cary Jones are not elated
over the prospects of their candidate, but
they believe that postponement can be
secured
II is no longer a secret that Arthur
Rodgers is foremost in advocating the
election of Professor Wheeler, and that
DR.. Cohn is leading the opposition forces
and~pleading the cause of William Cary
Jones.
1t transpires that the meetings called
this year to settle the controversy We're
postponed from time to time at the re-
quest Of Governor Gage. At the Palace
Hotel a few days ago the Governor said
that he old not expect to attend the meet
ing Of the board on May .. He remarked
further, in commenting on the topic that
he did not expect to preside at any of the
sessions Of the Board of Regents. 1t is
surmised that champions of Cary Jones
induced the Governor to request DELAY
Perhaps he did not comprehend what the
request signified when he asked the board
to defer action.
Regent Stepnen NJ. W nlte, VINO Is re-
garded one of the Governors confiden-
ttal advisers, promised when here a few
days ago, TO return and attend the ses-
sion of the board to be held next Tues
day. He was also consulted as to the ad-
visibility of asking the Governor to make
no more suggestions for pOstpOnement.
1t is known that Lieutenant Governor
Jacob H. Neff. Speaker Alden Anderson
and y. B. SpreCkels, president of the
State Agricultural Society who are re-
gents by virtue of their official relation
to attend the meeting next Tuesday. They
have listened to arguments in favor of
each leading candidate for the presi-
dency. 1t is believed that these three are
inclined to vote for Professor Wheeler.
Active supporters of the Cornell pro-
fessOr express the opinion that the Re
gents will come to an agreement next
objection which will be urged against
their candidate. They are advised that
Professor Wheeler viii be opposed on the
ground that his father was Baptist
clergyman and that the son adheres
strictly to the orthodox sentiment of his
sire. They are further warned that an
effort will be made to convince the board
seCtarian in any sense Of the term. They
will meet such suggestions with the frank
avOwal that Professor Wheeler is a Chris
tan; that the State University is
Christian institution and that this is
Christian country. Argument will be ad-
vanced to convince the assembled Re
gents that a man may be so broad-mind-
rian influences.
1t seems to be settled that the Regents
will fix the salary of the new president
a $4,000 per annum.
