New York, Nov. 4.-Society, while
still mourning its late ruler, is dis
cussing her possible successor with
perhaps as much avidity as the out
come of the presidential contest.
A remarkable coincidence is pre-
sented by the two great struggles.
Mrs Aston is said. before her death,
to have named her daughter-in-law,
Mrs. John Jacob Astor. as her sue
cessor, just as President Roosevelt
selected William H. Taft as his heir
apparent. Again, Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish, who is the only rival to appear
in the contest Of Mrs. John Jacobs
candidacy for the position long held
by her mother-fn-law. has long been
fully as conspicuous in her own
sphere as w. ]. Bryan is in his.
At this moment, however, there
enters into this contest between the
two beautiful and brilliant women a
dramatic feature that was lacking In
the great national campaign in
which the two mental and physical
Giants Of the other sex are engaged.
Mrs. Fish has been stricken with
serious illness. and thus fate may
render an arbitrary decision and de-
cree the continuance Of the Aston dy-
nasty at New York, Newport. Tuxe-

the closest attention.
