HITCHCOCK Will
NOT RESIGN JOB
FRIENDS DECLARE THE RUMOR
OF POSTMASTER GENERALS
RESIGNATION is UN-
FOUNDED.

Washington, Sept 12.-Persons close
to Postmaster General Hitchcock dis
credit the report that he is to resign
from the cabinet.
IL Is pointed out here that there may
be a connection between reports that
have come from Beverly about the Sc
lection Of chairman of the national
republican committee for the next cam
paign and the Hitchcock resignation
report. These reports have been to the
effect that the selection of a national
chairman IL under consideration and
that Charles ID. Hilles. the presidents
present secretary, and William Loeb.
who occupied the same position under
Roosevelt, have been named as Hitch
cocks successor at the head of the
national committee. Having suggested
a successor for this place. the reports,
IT ls said. have wrongly construed as
meaning that Hitchcock would quit the
cabinet.
There is no doubt that some public
men would like to see Mr.. Hitchcock
retire. They hold him responsible for
the trouble between the president and
the insurgents over postofIlce patron
age which was brought to light when
he and Representative Miller of Min
nesota had row over postoffice ap-
pointments In Millers district.
Friction has developed over the ad-
ministration of the railway postal SER
vice. also.
The business side of Mr. Hitchcock's
administration has been remarkable
for its economy. He has brought the
postal service to the stage where the
income nearly equals the expenditures.
He has other reforms I'm view which
he believes. will make the two sides
of the ledger balance. The reforms
he has inaugurated have been in accor-
dance with President Taft's. orders To
cut expenditures to the bone. provided
the service does not deteriorate.
The economy program has not been
fully carried out. and Mr.. Hitchcock's
friends here say he wants To complete
that and has given no thought to quit
ting.

Spring Lake, N. j.. Sept 1.-TWO
methods in which the powers OF State
Executives throughout the Union
ought To be strengthened, In the opin-
ion of Governor Edwin H. Norris of
Montana, were discussed by him before
the Conference OF Governors here to-
day.
The first vital stop to be taken, Gov
ernor Norris believes, is to bestow up
on Governors, the power to remove in
efficient state officers charged with the
enforcement OF the criminal and reme-
dial laws. The second is to grant the
Governor the right to initiate and re-
fer legislation To the voters for their
approval or rejection.
