TO SELECT HIS SUCCESSOR.
Chairman Hilles Calls Meeting OF Ma

for Vice President.

New York, Oct Chairman
Chas. d. Hilles of the Republican
national committee shortly before
o'clock this morning announced that
he called a meeting of the national
committee for November IL in Chi
cago to select successor to the late
James S. Sherman as the Republicans
candidate for vice president.
/ 1t will not be necessary to smakes
any change in the ballots already
printed for November as cast directly
for the vice president. Electors are
chosen to cast the ballots Of their con-
stituents for candidates for president
and vice president and while & there
is moral obligation resting on those
electors to support the nominee of the
party, the instructionp are merely di-
rectory and4nH Inandatory. "a ( =, y
The death of Mr.. Sherman will of
course, relieve them, if elected, from
the moral obligation to vote for him.
As it is a party matter and the gov
erning body in the party is the Re-
publican national committee it will be
proper function of that committee to
recommend to them a candidate for
vice president to be voted for by them.
1t would be essential to have con-
certed action in either of two con-
ticket is successful and second if the
election is TO be thrown into the
