PITNEY'S
SUCCESSOR
UNCERTAIN

While fully two-thirds Of "a large
number of lawyers questioned believe
that either vice-C hancellors Edwin r.
Walker. of Trenton, or Frederic w.
Stevens, of this city, will be appointed
to succeed Mahlon Pitney as chancellor
of the State, the position vacated by
the latter when elevated to the SUI
prene Court of the United States,
there is, at the same time, an under
current OF belief thai Governor Wood
row Wilson will follow out the idea he
has used in making other appoint
ments and go outside of the appar-
emily real line of advancement and
show his preferment for some law
yer-politician whose work can be used
In the advancement of the Wilson po-
litical ambitions.
At present there are seven vice.
chancellors i'll the State; John r. En-
cry. Frederic w. Stevens and James

of Trenton, and Eugene Stevenson, of
Paterson.
OF these seven the names of only
Vice-Chancellors Walker and Stevens
nave been heard in connection with
the advancement to the chancellor

Naturally the lawyers approached
are a little difident abou expressing
views in the matter. not knowing or
having any idea of Wilson's intentions.
But their views are well expressed by
a man in the Essex county courts who
is closely connected with the local law
yers. Asked what he thought of the
situation today, he said:
Wilson wlil appoint some man to
that position who will help the Sow
ernor further his political ambitions.
Neither of the men mentioned arc in
that class, according to my way OF
thinking, and l 10 not believe the mar
who will eventually get the position
has been suggested by any one as yet
Both Vice-Chancellors Stevens and
Walker are Democrats. the former nav
