import, they will doubtless hesitate to adopt the

Todd Powell, a Democrat. is in possession. His
term expires next fail He declares he will hold
on until he is ousted by force. Robert Anderson
has a commission from Washington He belongs
to the Wallace faction of Republicans. There was
another candidate who expected to land through
the influence of William ]. YOungs.
When Anderson tried to take possession Powell
declared he had been appointed for four years and
he refused to surrender. Powell went to Washing
ton, and he and Congressman Scudder called on
the President. The Congressman asked for a re-
consideration of the appointment 1t is said. Powell
says that Mr. Scudder told the President that
Mrs. Powell is the daughter of prominent Repub-
lican, 1t would seem proper that she be appointed,
If indeed change necessary.
Powell told the President that he did not come
to Washington TO get his wife appointed and that
he would not allow her to If she were APP
pointed. He desired to hold the office until there
was some good reason for his being removed or
until his term expired. The President referred
them to the Postmast err General. What satisfac-
ton Powell got there has not been disclosed, but
he returned to Freeport more determined than ever
to hold George Wallace is in California. An
derson will probably await Mr.. Walaces return
before taking any active steps to get control of
the office.

Franklin Murphy. one Of the recently appoint
ed Commissioners to the Paris Exposition, and
chairman of the Republican State Committee,
said yesterday that the State convention for
electing delegates to the Republican National
Convention will be held not later than the mid
die of May. probably in the early part of May,
and the meeting of the State Committee to fix
the date for the Republican State Convention
will probably be held within the next two
weeks. A new State Committee will be chosen
at the time of the State convention Mr.. Muir
ply has not yet decided the date for his going
to Paris. The number of Commissioners is so
large and the general work of the exposition
well advanced that ii is probable he will not
sail until after the State convention. and posi-
bly, not until after the National convention in
June. 1t is wholly probable that Mr.. Murphy
will be selected one of the delegates at-large
from New-Jersey to the National Republican
Convention, and it is equally certain that il
