 Stories are rife, says the New Haven Palladium, that the Hon Donald T. [ Warner will be appointed to judge ship of the superior court. Should Judge Ralph Wheeler fail of reanpS- pointment, q vacancy will be left in the supreme court bench. It is stats- | ed that should such a vacancy occurs it will be filled by MT Warner of Salis4 bury When questioned regarding the probability of the appointment New Haven man said it would be an act of high courtesy. Judge Henry Stod.. dard, when interviewed regarding tha rumored appointment, said: MT War- ner would make an excellent judgeA The appointment would be good one and it would be very nice thing for Governor Mclean to do." The sena. ment of many other lawyers is tha same in the matter. Representatives | King of Windham Is q candidate Tor q l judgeship, and many believe that he will receive an appointment. During 1 the pest few years the number of I judges in the superior court has been mainfestly insufficient for the demands l of the business which deyolves upon l this branch of the judiciary. There 1 are cases on the docket that are half l q dozen years old and which. unless
 there be an addition to the number of l judges, will not be tried for as many years more. The entire docket is fnls l ly a year behind and many facts point l to the creation of another judgeshfpS f 1t is conceded by lawyers that such a1k l appointment would greatly faciutates legal procedure and it would be appre-
 ciated by members of the bar. Such
 m appointment, moreover, is far from
 unlikely. Representative King is . } candidate for the new office, but
 whether he will receive 1t or not re. mains to be seen" $.
