such. Visitors bow as low to serV-

Phi|ander Knox Will Sue
coed Late Senator Quay.
Utah Sends Uninstructcd Dele
cation to National Convention.
The Virginia Democrats Are Undecided
as to ACCESSIBILITY Of Southern Rep
rescntation on the Next National
Ticket.

Philadelphia June 9.-Philander Knoy
of Pittsburg, attorney general of the
United States was selected, today, to
fill the scat in the United States Sen
ate made vacant by the death of Mat
thew Stanley Quay. He will accept and
serve by appointment of Governor
Pcnnypacker until March 4, the date
OF the expiration of the late senator's
commission. Unless political complica-
lions should arise us u result of today's
action, he will be elected for the full
term by the Legislature, which meets
i'll January. 1t is expected that AttOr-
ncy General Knox will remain in the
cabinet until December.
The selection of Attorney General
Knox came as a surprise to the poll
ticians of the state. Directly after
Senator Quay died his name was
among those mentioned for the vacan-
cy, but as no one came forth to sup
port it, very little was heard of his
candidacy during the past week. His
rame was not considered by Senator
Penrose, who as chairman of the Re-
publican state committee with Israel
w. Durham. the Philadelphia leader,
had the naming of QUay's successor.
Yesterday afternoon, however, Henry
c. Frick of Pittsburg, director of ting
United States Steel Corporation, came
| to this city and formally announced
that the attorney general was a cam
didate for the place and that he came
here in Mr.. Knox's interests. AS the
leaders had decided that Allegheny
county, in which Pittsburg is situated,
was to have the place, he thought the
leaders could have no objevtion to the
attorney general. This caused consid-
cradle agitation in the Pittsburg dele
,, CATION, which had already named four
men for the vacancy. At first it was
expected that Mr.. Knox would be OPP
posed. but after 81 series of conferences,
the PittsburS delegation accepted Mr..
Knox and the public announcement of
their action soon followc cd.
Senator Penrose in commenting on
Attorney General Kno%'s election. said
tonight: Gov. Pennypacker will ap-
point Mr.. Knox. tomorrow. The at
nhcnt. Mr.. Knox will serve cut the I'M
expired term of the late Senator Quay
and will be selected for the full term
beginning March next; President
Roosevelt approves of Mr.. Knox's Sc
lection as senator.
Gov. Pcnnypacker will issue q
statement on the matter of an extra
session of the Legislature. giving his
| reasons for the position he will take.
Mr.. KnoN's selection meets with the
i full approval of the Allegheny county
! people"
