al Rome.
ROME, Sept. 2.-That the Right Rev.
John NJ. Farley, bishop has been cho-
sen archbishop of New York to sue
ceed the late Archbishop Corrigan is
confirmed.
Mgr Farley was elected to this exalt-
ed position by tho almost unanimous
vote of the Congregation de Propagall-
da Eide
Cardinal Martinclli, who was charged
to set forth the case to his colleagues,
made minute and detailed report
about the different candidates. The
information received showed that DR..
Farley was qualified as the most wor-
thy candidate for the post, both in the
lists of the priests and bishops and in
the reports of the archbshops of the
United States. After discussion in
which all the cardinals present partici-
pated Cardinal GOtti summed up the
expressions and opinions of those pres
ent, with the result that the choice Of
Dr. Farley was unanimous. The ratiti-
cation Of the pope is necessary to
make the appointment definite.
Mgr. Feccia, secretary of the propa-
ganda, will report to his holiness some
time during this week The formality
of the confirmation of the decision
reached by the cardinals, however, is
sometimes delayed.
Tho qualifications of thr condidatns
for the post Of coadjutor to the arch
bishop Of San Francisco were outlined
by Cardinal Satolli, whose culogy Of
the Right Rev. George Montgomery
resulted in this prelatc's nomination
almost without discussion.
1t is expected that DR.. Farley will
ask for an auxiliary bishop on account
of the size and importance Of the arch
diocese of New York.
