BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-That even the
great wealth Of Colonel John Jacob
Astor will prove insufficient to hire q
regularly ordained minister of any
leading denomination to marry him
was the assertion today of prominent
church people.
The Episcopal pulpit continued
unanimous i'm its donunciation OF the
proposed marriage. While the Astors
and the Force families are com
municants in the Episcopal Church,
It was made omphatically plain that
they cannot get a priest Of that church
10 perform the ceremony Tho six
bishops Of that denomination IN the
east, the most influential leaders of
the church. emphatically assert that
If any Of their subordinate ministers
pronounce the marriage ceremony,
they will be summarily unfrocked.
These bishops are Rt Rev. William
Crossweli DOane, bishop, of Albany,
Bishop David c. Greer. Of this city;
Bishop A. Mackey-Smith. Of Philadel-
phia; Bishop william Lawrence. Of
Massachusetts; Bishop James DeWolf
Perry, Of Rhode Island, and Bishop
Burch. of New York
In addition western bishops have
placed themselves on record as back
ing their brothers of the East. Among
those who have denounced the match
are: Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead, Of
Pittsburg; Bishop Edward w. Os-
horne. Of Springfield. ILL.,. Bishop a.
L. Williams, Of Omaha, Neb. Bishop
S. M. Griswold, Of Salina, Kansas;
Bishop William Crane Gray. of Flori-
da, and Bishop Olmstead. of Denver.
Methodist bishops, who say the
marriage would be contrary to the
regulations of the church include
John NJ. Walden, Of Cincinnati; Davis
H. Moore. Cincinnati; w. A. Gambler,
Atlanta. and r. r. Hendrix, Of Kansas
City.
The position of the Episcopal
Church was voiced by the venerable
Bishop Doane, who said
