Washington, April 12.-Governor
Hughes of New York anu Judge VAN
deventer of the United States circuit
court are reported to be the favorites
in the judicial possibilities to fill the
vacancy on the supreme bench caused
by the death of Justice Brewer.
When it was announced in the su-
preme court yesterday that a rehear-
ing of the Standard Oil and American
Tobacco companies cases would be ne
cessary, the conclusion was drawn in
many quarters that this decision prac-
tically eliminated Circuit Judges VAN
deventer and Sanborn and Solicitor
Bowers from consideration as Justice
Brewers successor.
This was based on the fact that
the two judges had passed upon the
cases which are to be reconsidered
and Mr.. Bowers assisted in the prep
aration of the governments case.
Inquiries at the White House later
in the day, however. showed that
President Taft is taking the position
that if "A man be deemed fit for the
supreme court bench, the fact that he
passed upon pending cases in a lower
court, or assisted in the preparation
of a pending case in any way should
not be d bar to his appointment
New York is clamoring for recogni-
ton, having been disappointed in its
claim for representation when Judge
Lurton was named as successor to
Justice Peckham. Louis Marshall of
the firm of Guggenheim. Untermeyer
& Marshall has been strongly urged
TO President Taft. This is true also
Of Judges Hiscock. Andrews, Tomp-
kins and Frame, of the New York
state supreme court :.
Judge Swayze of the New Jersey su-
preme court, Judge Deamer of Iowa
supreme court and Judge Hook of
Kansas now on the federal circuit
bench, are also among those who have
influential backing at the white house.
