Former Gov. Francis
OF Missouri, May Be
Sent to English Court

Former Gov. David r. Francis of
Missouri is declared to be In the lead
today for the Enthusiastically to the
Court of st. James With Richard
Olney and Dr. Eliot out of 1t by their
own decisions. the former governor and
former Secretary of the Interior ia be-
lieved to be a considerable distance
ahead of other men talked Of for the
post. Thomas Nelson Page still has a
good chance for some diplomatic post.
but is not believed to be in the run
ming at all for the British ambassador
ship.
The fact that former Governor Fran
els has not himself sought the place is
favor with President Wilson. Al
though Senator's Stone and Reed Of
Missouri have urged MI. Francis se!ec-
ton, he himself has been passive-an
attitude known to be pleasing to the
President, both as a general rule and
in the special case.
Seeks Best Democrat.
IL Mr.. Francis is named, it will not
be because President Wilson desires to
placatc the friends of Speaker Clark,
according to statements today by men,
bers of the Missouri delegation. The
President is known to have told men
with whom he discussed the appoint
ment for this post that he is seeking the
very pest Democrat he can get, ire
spective of their affiliation with any
particular wing OF the Democrats
rtx- he ,Ta 81 fhc - Mr
Olney goes a long way to prove this. it
is declared
The President has been recognizing
Democrats of all schools. apparently in
the hope of ironing out the wrinkles.
Yet II Is known at the White House
that Mr.. OIney was offered the place
because the President thought him the
best equipped man in the party for the
place.
Former Governor Francis has been
regular" and the strfcteSt party man
could not object to his appointment
But, IL offered the place. as now seems
not unlikely. IL will not be either be-
cause he has been a good party man
nor because his being named will please
Missouri Democrats In particular. but
because President Wilson considers him
the ablcst available man for the most
important diplomatic post the Presi-
dent has to fill
Osborne's Chances.
Gossip of william Church Osborne for
the place has not rejoiced Tammany
Democrats, who know Osborne as the
hardest anti-Tammany fighter in the
Empire State. Tammany men view the
matter with somewhat mixed feelings.
None of them wishes to see Osborne
honored. il Is stated. yet his removal
from this country would not be dis
tasteful to them either.
