Judge Daniel Grinnan will probably
resign az iudee OF the Chancery
court today. The Richmond bar has
endorsed W. L. Moncure to succeed
Judge Grinnan. and the endorsement
has been sent to the governor. but
II Is possible that Governor Mann will
ignore the bar and name another for
the place.
Governor Mann and the bar Of
Richmond locked horns some time
ago on the appointment of a judge
of Hastings court to succeed Judge
samuel witt. The governor APP
pointed the then Mayor Richardson
before the bar could meet to name
a candidate. The difference between
the governor and the city bar began
earlier than this. however
Whom Judge Grinnan announced
his Intention of reaigning the COVER
nor sent word TO the bar that he
would not feel himself bound by it's
action and that while ne. would give
due consideration To its recommen-

It is believed now the governor will

officially notified Of his resignation.
This ia expected to be in his hands
