Special to the EVENING NEWS


New Brunswick, March 18:-The
prosecutorship is the sole topic Of
discussion about the court house to-
day. The sentiment seems to be
that Theodore Strong will not accept
the appointment to succeed George
Berdine, which, it is understood, has
been rendered to him by the COVER
nor. 1t is thought he will prefer to
stay on, the state board of assessors.
In the event of Mr.. Strong refusing
the prosecutorship, the opinion
seems to be that Judge Lyon, of
Perth Am hoy, will be the man.
1t is believed that the governor
has Mr.. Strong in hole, so to speak,
for the supposition is that II Strong
declines the prosecutorship Judge
Lyon will be appointed, and il he
accepts, thereby resigning from the
state board of assessors, either John
Conger or H. Raymond Groves will
be named to succeed him there. No
