TO SUCCEED W4TCHORN.
Thomas ". WhtHe May Be Com
missioner of Immigration.

1t is understood by the Republican district
leaders that Repre- sentative Herbert Parsons has
asked President Taft and Secretary Nagel TO
appoint Thomas w. Whittle secretary of the
Republican County Committee, to succeed Rob-
ert Watchorn Commissioner Of immigration
at this port. Secretary Nagel yesterday re-
ceived Mr. Watchorn's resignation and it was
accepted to take effect at once Joseph Muir
ray was named as Acting Commissioner. Mr.
Whittle's friends know that lot OF things can
happen to a man slated for a good job, but last
night they were to a man confident that he
would be appointed TO the vacancy some day
next week and that news from Washington on
Tuesday or Wednesday would confirm their
opinion.
Al the time Of the inauguration the organIza-
ton leaders asserted that Mr.. Watchorn would
retire and that Mr.. Whittle would succeed him,
but as soon as the rumor went around the Com
missioner's friends denied it with such vehe-
mence that it looked if he would stay in.
Since then Representative Parsons and other
New York Congressman have been "peggns
away" for Mr.. Whitte, and there is no doubt in
the minds Of the district leaders that the work
in his behalf has been successful.
Mr. Whittle is leader of the 35th Assembly
District as well secretary of the county or
ganization. He IS about thirty-flve years old
and very popular among the leaders. The sal

over the administration of the island untr the
new commissioner takes charge. Mr.. Watcho~n
visited the various departments of the bureau
and said goodby TO the employees. The ComUlis
sioner said he had not decided what he would
do. There have been several offers made to him
by private interests but he said yesterday thai
he had not decided upon any one OF them. Mr.
