The President will start on his real
vacation tomorrow. IL will last. tho
White House Gays. until july Is. He will

services tomorrow Of Justice Fuller.
President Taft he'd litil- time to day 20

Court bench. Gov. Hughes Of New York
remains the first choice for the Chief
Justice.hip and Supreme Court Justice

forsfroa. for the vacancy IN the ranks OF
the Associate Justices. Reports from
Washington that Solicitor General Bowers
might succeed Justice Fuller are not re-
Rarded in Beverly as based upon good
so far the President has
heard practically no new names. Within
a few days. however. they are expected
20 pour in.
There 10 q bare possibility that PreSi-
dent Taft may call an extraordinary
ses.ion OF the Senate in the fall to ratify
his nominations to the Supreme Court
While extraordinary sessions 81 the
Senate are not unusual II is believed here
that Mr.. Taft will not make Ise Of one
