fered from the delay IS very great. In
addition to that. contractors. material

encountered considerable loss. One of
these, speaking rather forcibly today.
said:
The President seems to think that
the Government Of the District Of Co.
lumbia is ct about as much importance
as a crossroads postofice in Arkansas"
notwithstanding the new hope in the
eyes of the Wilson boomers. the other
candidates and their friends are very
active Since the return Of the Presi-
dent. though Ill and unable to take up
important questions, those fntrusted
with the fortunes of the several candi-
dates for the position are making prep
arations to charge on the White House
as soon as there is the first indication
that he is ready to receive them.
Three Strong Names.
There have been three men who were
regarded as having the strongest call on
the position. These ere Mr.. H L. West,
Mr.. Greed N. Fulton. and Mr.. ". Y. Cox.
It is now intimated that the claims of
these candidates are so strong that the
President has been staggered by them.
ana is practically unable to decide on
any one Of them.
Confronted by this situation the idea
early presented itself to the President,
so it is said, that he must choose out
side Of this combination. 1t is known
positively that the President has offer
ed the place to two me- outside this
triumvirate, two eminent lawyers, Mr..
Jere Wilson and Mr.. J J. Darlington
Both Of these gentlemen declined.
Another. group of candidates has con-
tanned the names OF Mr. A A Wilson.
Mr. Dominic I Murphy. and Mr. L P
Shoemaker. The friends OF these men
have been very active in their support.
and it is said their hackers include poll
