BISHOPS FAVOR MGR. MOONEY.
THEY WOULD LIKE HIM TO RULE
THE BUFFALO DIOCESE.

Few Knew the Candidates Chosen by the
Priests Of the Diocese and they Wish

No Choice Announced Omcially.
According to the information which
reached the Catholic clergy last night the
Very Rev. Joseph F. Mooney. Vicar General
Of the diocese Of New York. may DO re-
ouired to accept the Office OF Bishop OF
Buffalo.
Some weeks ago TIE Sun told Of the
alarm which Mgr. Moneys friends felt
when Il became known that the Church
WA looking to him as the man to MI the
place OF Bishop Quigley, who. against his
will. was promoted to be Archbishop OF
Chicago.
little later II came out that Mgr Mooney
had requested that his name be not con-
sidered, as he preferred to remain IN New
York. This was natural, because, soon
after his appointment Archbishop Farley
siqniAed that he would recommend TO Rome
the appointment Of Mgr. Mooney as Auxii-
iary Bishop OF New York, an ONCE second
in rank to that Of the Archbishop. and by
the nature Of Church rule. the place OF sue
oession 70 the Archbishopric. Circum-
stances. however, seem TO have taken
shane which will make Mgr. Mooney Bishop
of Buffalo instead Of Auxiliary bishop
OF New York.
A meeting Of the Bishops OF the province
was held at the see house in Madison avenue
Yesterday afternoon after the dinner given
by Archbishop Farley in honor OF Arch
bshop Falconio. Archbishop Quigiey OF
Buffalo was absent. Bishop Ludden OF
Svrnouse il in Bermuda. Those at the
meeting were Bishop McQuaid OF Rochester.
Bishop McFaul OF Trenton. Bishop Burke
of Albany, Bishop Gabriels OF Ogdensburg.
Bishop O'Connor OF Newark and Bishop
Mcdonnell OF Brooklyn. Archbishop Far
ley presided.
There were before the meeting the three
names chosen by the priests OF Buhaio.

1t Joseph's Cathedral, Buffalo. digniss'-
mus; Dean Cannon Of Lockport. dignior'
and Father James A. LAnigan, pastor of NJ.
Bridsets Church. Buffalo. dignus.
IL IL quite well understood 10y the ON
oiaLs OF the Church that the names Of Fathers
Cannon and I.anigan were used in com
pliinentary s.nse and that Father Bid"n
