CHARGES AGAINST HOOK
HELD TO BE GROUNDLESS

WASHINGTON. Jan. lS.-The pro-
tests against the suggested appoints
ment of Judge William c. Hook, OF
Kansas. to the United States supreme
bench to succeed the late Justice Har-
Ian, have been investigated by Attor-
Hey-General Wickersham and found
groundless.
The complaints were based on
Judge Hooks decision in the Okla
homa two-cent railroad rate case,
which he held to be confiscatory.
Mr.. Wickersham concluded 1t was
extremely unwise to Judge the char
acter of jurist by one opinion simply
because II happened TO be favorable
to the railroads. An examination of
Judge Hooks record in interpreting
the railroad and other laws OF the
country refuted, in the judgment Of
the attorneygenerdl, the charge that
Judge Hook was too conservative. His
conception Of the man was based on a
consideration of his whole career on
the bench.
The result OF the investigation
means that Judge Hook still is among
the foremost candidates for the SUI
preme court vacancies, but the presi-
dent, II Is declared in authoritative
circles, has not yet made up his mind
as to the selection

NEWBERRY WILL PRESIDE
IN SPRING CONVENTION
G. o. p. State Central Commit
tee Chooses Detroiter For
Temporary Chairman

Truman II. Newberry, who. was
secretary OF the navy under President
Roosevelt, was agreed on for tenn
porary chairman of the Republican
state convention for the election OF
delegates TO the national Republican
convention, In meeting OF the Re-
publican state central committee, In
the Pontchartrain hotel, Wednesday
afternoon. Mr. Newberry is a warm
personal friend of the ex-president.
and the fact that he was chosen for
the place together with strong I'M
der-current of Roosevelt sentiment
that seemed to exist among the COM
mitteemen, may be significant. AS
temporary chairman, Mr.. Newberry
will make the keynote speech at the
convention, which the committee set
for April IL, in Bay City.
The name of no candidate for the
presidency was mentioned in the
meeting, but among the committee
men in the lobby, the probable out
come OF the Chicago convention was
earnestly discussed. Several of the
members from upstate quietly ad-
mitted that Roosevelt sentiment is
growing I'm their districts. All had a
good word to say for Taft, and it was
generally conceded that he was en-
titled to a nomination for a second
term, but fear was expressed that IL
he were nominated, he could not be
elected. Senator LaFolIettes name
was scarcely mentioned.
Under the new reapportionment
there will be 1912 delegates in the
spring convention. They will elect
six delegates-at-large. Each OF the IL
congressional districts will elect two
district delegates.
II was decided that the new state
central committee and chairman
should be elected in the Bay City con-
vention instead of waiting until fall.
This will give the new committee
chance TO get settled down TO business
before the real heavy work OF the
campaign starts.
