PROMINENT MEN MENTIONED

New York, Nov. 4.-Eighteen
of twenty-four members of the Re-
publican National Committee who
have notified Chairman c. d. Hilles
of their choice of a Vice Presiden-
tial candidate to succeed the late
James S. Sherman, favor Gov. Had
ley, OF Missouri.
In a statement here tonight
Chairman Hilles declared that no
selection would be made by the Ma
tional Committee until November
~, but he made public the desires
of the twenty-four committeeman
who have openly stated their
choice. OF these. aside from the
majority for Gov. Hadley, two ia
vored John Wanamaker, of Phila-
delphia one Secretary of War
Stimson, one Congressman S. w.
Mccall, of Massachusetts; one JUS
tice Hughes, and one Gov. Colds
boro. of Maryland.
THE suggestion that members of
the Republican National Commit
tee should authorize the Executive
Committee or the chairman of the
committee to nominate 2 candidate
for the Vice Presidency to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Mr..
Sherman is not feasible, and there
fore has not received favorable con-
sideration," said Mr.. Hilles.
r. at has already been made clear
that it would have been physical
impossibility for the members OF
the committee to attend a Getting
prior to election day, there not be-
ing sufficient interim between the
death of the Vice President and
election day for the committee to
convene. Proxies by wire would not
have been legal and action based on
such proxies would have been an
unwarrantable innovation and
would have established a dangerous
precedent.
"A majority OF the members OF
the committee to attend a meeting
licly expressed their choice for
candidate. Mr.. Hale, of Maine, ia
vors immediate action, but has not
yet indicated his choice of candi-
date. While the member of the
committee from the State of Idaho
has not given voice to his views,
the Republican State Committee OF
Idaho has recommended the selec-
ton of Gov. Herbert S. Hadley, of
Missouri.
