Edward J. Stellwagen was today ap-

next President of the United States.
Frank II. Hitchcock, chairman OF the re-
publican national committee announced
the appointment shortly before noon to-
day. Mr.. Stellwagen accepted the post
and will enter at once upon the duties
of the Office, which carries no emoluments
and involves great deal Of hard work
and responsibility.
II selected Mr.. Stelwagen," said Mr..
Hitchcock to a Star man today, "out Of
list of a number of men eminently COM
petent to fill the place. for several rea-
sons In the first place, Mr.. Stellwagen
has had experience in this line Of en-
deavor. He was treasurer OF the inau-
gural committee four years ago. I was
secretary of that committee, and SO came
to know of Mr.. StelIwagen's work. He
wound up tiie NSfancis5 Affairs OF the COM
mittee in a manner eninently satisfac-
tory.
But / should rather give as the pri-
mary reason for his selection my conf
dence in his general executive ability.
His record in this city bears witness TO
the fact that he possesses executive abil-
ity to remarkable degree.
''He has organized successfully several
large financial and business institutions
which are credit to the city. The work
of the chairman Of the inaugural com.
mittee is essentially executive in char

wagen will fill the post to the satisfaction
Of the citizens OF Washington"

secretary Of the committee will probably
not be appointed until next Saturday.
when he has returned from Hot Surings
and has conferred again with Mr.. Stell-
wagen
Have you any suggestions for inau-
gural features?" Mr.. Hitchcock was
asked.
Il shall not undertake to dictate in
any way replied Mr.. Hitchcock with q
smile. My experience of four years ago
as secretary may lead me to make few
suggestions. but they will be in the form
of suggestions entirely, and 1 do not care
to discuss them now. The chairman and
his fellow workers on the several sub
committees will plan the Inauguration
features"
MT f1IlcHcOck WAS eNlQeuIly very muCn
pleased with the acceptance by Mr.. Stell
wagen of the appointment. He felt like
congra atulating Washington. If the truth
were known. and in that respect his feel
ngs were largely shared by prominent
citizens throughout the town when they
heard the announcement Of Mr.. Stell-
wagons selection.
There is no question that the appoint
ment gave widespread satisfaction. Mr..
Stellwagen's standing in the business
community as we'll as in the social cir
cles of the National capital is such as
to make him acceptable on all sides as
the man to direct the event which every
four years is of the highest Importance
to Washington.
