RIORDAN MAY BE ELEVATED
Pope Said to Have Decided on
Three American Cardinals
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL

ROME. Feb Sit is said that Pope
Plus intends to elevate three American
archbishops to the college of cardinals.
and among those mentioned as having
been chosen TO receive the red hats is
Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco.
Archbishop Riordan has begun his
return journey to San Francisco after a
two months stay, and has created a
favorable impression at the Vatican
Pope Plus spoke OF him as entitled to
higher honors. The diocese OF San
Francisco is considered second only to
that of New York, and some of the
most powerful of the Vatican prelates
are persistent in urging the election OF
several Americans to the college at the
March consistory. 1t is said that Arch
bishops Farley OF New York. O'Connell
of Boston and Riordan OF San Francisco
are most likely to be elevated
