The friends of Charles s. Hernly are still
actively engaged in trying to get for him a
position on the board of general appraisers
at New York 1t is thought here that Mr.
Hernly probably will fail in his efforts for
the place. notwithstanding the active cam
paign that is being carried on with the
President I'm his behalf. To-day a deega-
ton, which included Representatives Wat
son and Hemenway, called at the White
House and remained with the President for
thirty-five minutes. They went there to
urge the candidacy of Mr.. Hernly, and they
did so strongly. The President gave them
no definite information as to what he would
do other than to assert that the appoint
ment will not be made for about thirty
days. The Supreme Court now has charge
of a case involving the term of one of the
members of the board, and until this case
Is decided ii is probable no appointment
will be made. 1t is intimated here that the
son-in-law of Colonel Hepburn, a member
