Selected New Jersey State
Chancellor for Vacancy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Mahlon Pit
ney. chancellor of the state of New
Jersey. member of congress for two
terms, a lawyer and jurist OF 80
years practice, looms up tonight as the
man whom President Taft will appoint
to the supreme court bench.
Among friends of the president it
is reported as practically certain that

sible that members of Tafts official
family will be told of his choice to-
morrow The president is said to be-
lieve that the appointment of Chan
cellor Pitney will not be opposed in the
senate.
Chancellor Pitney has been under
consideration by the president for sew
eral weeks. Following protests against

Jersey. were two men who gradually
became most prominent in the presi-
dents mind
Friends of Justice Swayze have not
abandoned hope that he will be ap-
pointed. Tonight former Governor
Murphy of New Jersey was a, White
House guest and 1t is generally be-
lieved that the president informed him
of his intention to appoint the chan
cellor.
Chancellor Pitney meets many of the
presidents requirements for supreme
court justice. He issjust a little more
than 54 years old. six years Under

ticing lawyer and a judge since 1882
He served as associate justice oe the
