EAST NORTHFIELD, Mass, Sept.
2.-The attention of the president hav7l
ing been called to the published state-
ment that Attorney General Knox's
name was being considered with the
view of appointing him to a Justice
ship on the supreme bench to succeed
Justice George Shiras, it can be said
on the authority Of the president him
self that not only does he not conten-
plate such a move, but Justice Shiras
has not resigned. The president classed
all such statements as without the
least foundation and that they only

ment also credits him with having
reached the conclusion to place the
