LOOMS UP AS
5 The CANDIDATE
Attorney General Wickersham Is
Now Talked of as the Probable
Successor to Justice
Harlan.
PRESIDENT IS SILENT
Taft Has Made no Announcement,
Whatever as to Whom He VIII
Appoint to the
Bench.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 20
Attorney General George w. Wicker
sham has loomed up suddenly as the
most promising candidate cor Justice
of the supreme court Of the United
States to succeed the late Justice Har-
Ian.
Out of long list of possibilities
which President Taft is considering,
Wickersham appears to be the favor
lite. While the chief executive has
declined to discuss the matter for
publication and none of the members
of the cabinet here will talk concern
ing it, it has been learned that the
possibility Of a progressive jurist
succeeding the late great dissenter"
is very remote. In the list SO far
considered, Secretary of the Interior
Walter Fisher, whose chances are not
very bright, is the only one who could
be called a progressive,
While the president realizes that
the appointment of Wickersham would
undoubtedly call forth great deal OF
criticism because of the attorney gen
erals former Wall street connection
he believed that the trust prosecu
tion record would overbalance the
criticism to a certain degree and he
has a very high opinion of the at
torney generals legal ability. Be
sides, it Is said that many of the presi
4 dents advisors are in favor of gettint
Wickersham out Of the cabinet.
President Taft, however, has de
clined to make any fixed decision as
to Harlan's successor until he reaches
here, November Is.
In addition to Wickersham and
Fisher, Secretary of War Stimson ane
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel are also said to be under con
consideration. Solicitor Genera
Lehman, of ST Louis; Thomas Mar
shall, a New York lawyer and Circui
: Court Justice John w Warrington
of Cincinnati, are also on the list 0
eligibles.
Scores of suggestions have beel
made to the president, but he has
steadfastly refused to commit himsel
and when he reaches here he vii
, take the matter up with his advisors
He believes this appointment vii

, place him on record as having namec

court. Therefore he is determined t.
