NEW YORK, AnrIi 23.-The possibil-
ity that Samuel Langhorne Clemens
("Mark Twain') appointed his own
successor in the field Of American litera-
ture, II it can be said that the late
sage and humorist can have successor,
was contained today In the announce
ment that his uncompIeted manuscripts
will be completed according TO expressed
wishes laid down by Mr.. Clemens before
his death.
Before the shock Of Mark Twain s
death had begun to spend It's force, lit
erary men had begun to inquire who
would follow in the footsteps of the
great American author, But tho interest
attached to the wishes Of Mark Twain
in this respect are not confined to lit
er1ry circles. In the army of readers
who knew Twain through his books and
loved him for his humor and love, there
is probably larger fraction with the
belief that the writer does not live who

American Demanded.
II is understood that Mr.. Clemens ex-
pressed the wish that his tasks be com
pleted either by one writer or by sew
cral in collaboration, but the strictest
injunction was that the unfinished manu-
scripts should not be touched by any
one save an American.
In the library at StormGeld. where
Mr. Clemens spent the declining wears

others are nearly completed. Mr.. Glenn

He only worked when the spirit moved
him, as he said himself, and he added
In his whimsicle manner that he never
before realized how lazy spirit could
be under the circumstances.
But as the humorist grew fecbler. he
turned serious attention towards his I'M
completed labor, and as he realized that
he would likely never touch it again. he
expressed his desires as to how it should
be carried on.
