WASHINGTON HEARS THAT
HITCHCOCK WILL QUIT.
Dispute Over Patronage to Cause
Secretary's Resignation.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12,-The resig-
nation of Postmaster General Frank
II. Hitchcock may be looked for at an
early date, according to rumor in
Washington.
Trouble between the President and
Mr.. Hitchcock is said to have been
brewing for several months. Lack Of
appreciation and a strong dissemination
on the part Of the President to take
a firm stand. is said to be the chief
cause of the split. Senators Murray
Crane n Jonathan Bourne and Sid
ney Bieber are aid to be the principals
in bringing 1t about.
Upon Hitchcock fell almost entirely
the job of dispensing the presidential
patronage. With the exception of ju-
dicial and a few other places. he named
all the appointees. Several OF his Sc
'lections were sidetracked. and those
recommended by Crane and others SUB
stituted. This started the rupture.
