that he would abide by its action.
If Mr.. Clark does not disapprove of the
appointment it has been suggested that
Mr.. Harrison might see his way clear to
accept, but his closest friends say that
he will not do s0
His position is extremely complicated.
inasmuch as he has been a candidate for
the appointment and obtained the support
of all but two of the democratic repre-
sentatives from New York for the place
on the committee left vacant by the re-
tirement of former Representative Bourke
Cochran. For this reason it is doubted if
Speaker Cannon would accept his resig-
nation IL rendered, or would ask unan-
imous consent in the House to excuse him
from service on the committee. If Mr..
Harrison refuses to serve on the commit
tee il is believed that the Speaker will lay
the matter before the House for action.
Under the rules only the House can eX-
cuse member from duty on a committee,
although practice has somewhat modified
its application. Such a question once put
