NOT NAMED YET
SIatemakUFs Still Busy. and
Many are Men
toned
TALK OF Mr.. SPEAKMAN
FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

The "iudgesmiths." as those who
have been busy speculating and franz
ing up states OF the prospective ap-
pointments of new judges have been
dubbed, We're still busy today trying to
pick the names OF those 20 be elevated
20 the State bench by Governor Sim
con S. Pennewill.
All kinds Of states are heard The
names Of most of the members of the
Bar in New Castle, Kent and Sussex
counties have been linked together In
combinations, but so far Governor
/ Pennewiil has not taken occasion to
give the least public intimation as to
lth epersonnel OF the judiciary whose
names he will write upon the slate
when the proper time comes.
Notwithstanding the secretiveness
about the Executive and his prospec-
ti.- appointments. the concensus Of
opinion seems TO be drifting toward the
slate announced Yesterday. Whether
these prophets viii prove good pro-
phets or will prove victims Of an
Executive bareback remains to he seen.
The slate that seems 10 meet with
most favor among the guessers is as
follows:
For Chief Justice-James PennewilI.
OF Dover
For Charles M. Curtis 90
this city.
For Association iudge-at-large--
Either Victor B. Wooley or William T.
Lyman OF this city.
For resident judge Of New Castle
county-Daniel o. Hastings. Of VIII
mington
For resident Judge OF Kent county
William H. Boyce now of Georgetown.
For resident judge of Sussex coun-
ty--ienry c. Conrad, now Of Winnings
ton.
5 other names prominently mentioned
today I'm some of the states were Colo
mel j. Ernest Smith. Philip @. Church-
: man and Tilghman Johnston. of Will
Z mington. They were mentioned either
{ for resident judge of New Castle
, county or for Chancellor The name
! OF David ]. Reinhardt also was spoken
b of today for resident judge Of Sussex
] county. but there Is q belief that Mr..
= Reinhardt would not care to move down
& the State even IL the judgeship were
g lproffered him.
u 5peakman For Secretary.
Should Secretary OF State Hasfing
e be appointed 20 the bench IL wouis
p leave a new Secretary of State 10 bl
d lappointed. II was reported today that
!. Frank L. Speakman. former prothon-
4 Otary for New Castle county stands
j the best chance of being appointed
j, Secretary of State under those cir
I cumstances.
. Governor Pennewill spent last night
4 in Wilmington and was registered at
e the Clayton House. He spent the
o evening as the guest of friends In this
city. and remained in the city this
e morning. He was in consultation with
!, Secretary Of state Hastings part Of
3 the time. and it IS expected he VIII go
a down the State this afternoon.
Governor Pennewill had no an
. nouncemen regarding the new Judges
n to make this morning, nor would he
Z say when the appointments would be
announced.
T. The Milford Chronicle today edi-
r torially suggests that the Governor APP
r. point Judge Pennewill as Chancellor
r. appoint a Democratic Chief Justice and
[. a Democratic judge-at-large and three
e Republican resident judges, one fOI
r. leach county.
