Break Had Been Expected.

For a time political circles expected a
break between the administration and
the New York senator. Within the last
two days, however, friends of Mr.. Mitchell,
whose candidacy had been dropped at
his own wish month ago. renewed their
effort in his behalf and when the Presi-
dent went to the Capitol today to talk
with Senator O'Gorman about II the New
York senator himself suggested Mr..
Mitchell as the best man for the posi-
ton. The President was sratifed to find
that Mr. McAdoo, who originally had not
favored Mr. Mitchell. and Senator O'Gor-
man and himself We're in agreement, and
he promptly sent the name to the Senate
One of the reasons why Mr. Mitchell
at first was said to be disnclined to have
his candidacy advanced was on account
of the approaching mayoralty contest
next fall Some of his friends declared
last night that Mr.. Mitchell had by no
means eliminated himself, and that the
administration would not object if he re-
signed eventually to become candidat e
for mayor of New York. The President
| urged Mr.. Mitchell by telegraph. however.
to accent the collectOrship. and he did so.
The President also sent to the Senate
the nomination of George W. Guthrie.
democratic state chairman of Pennsyl-
vania, to be ambassador to Japan. In a
four minute executive session last night
the Senate referred the nomination of
Mr.. Guthrie to the foreign relations com
mittee.

After spending an hour at the Capt.
tot yesterday in conference with sena-
tors and representatives. President Will
son sent to the Senate a number of i'm
portant nominations. including that Of
John Purroy Mitchell. to be collector of
the port of New York, to succeed Will
liam Loeb. jr., and Gaylord M. Saltz-
gaber, to be commissioner of pensions.
The selection of Mr.. Mitchell brought
what the White House termed "a happy
solution" to contest in which New York
state leaders of every wing of the party
had taken a lively part for the last two
months.
Candidates for the post, which pays
$4,000 and carries with it the appoint
ment of an army of employees in the
country's biggest custom house. were
numerous from the start. Recently the
President practically determined to ap-
point Frank X. Polk. a friend of Secre-
tary McAdoo of the Treasury Depart
ment. but Senator OGorman interposed
objection. declaring Il more active demo-
crat should get the place.
