Attorney General About Ready
to Make Recommendations
to the President.
NO WHITE HOUSE NEWS
AS TO PUBLIC PRINTER
Opposition to James M. Lynch Be-
lieved to Have Weakened His
Chances of Success.

Attorney General McReynods will be
prepared to make a recommendation to
President Wilson within a few days for
the nomination of a judge of the Juvenile
Court of the District of Columbia. Mr..
McReynolds has been going over the pa
pers. and has about reached conclusion.
He is not definitely prepared to make an
announcement however, and will submit
his recommendation to the President be-
fore permitting any information to be-
come public. Mr. McReynolds is person
ally well informed as to District lawyers
and District matters generally, having
lived in this city ten years or more. He
will not find it necessary to give as much
time to a selection of Juvenile judge as a
man less acquainted with the District
John F. Costello, democratic national
committeeman. was at the White
House today a few minutes trying to
get track of Mr.. McReynolds' purposes.
He did not remain for talk with Mr..
Tumulty or the President who were
both swamped with visitors. Mr.. Cos
teilo is waiting the word of the Pres
ident as to taking up the District
Commissioner and excise board ap
pointments. and will present the Pres
1dent with recommendations when he
regards the time as ripe. Mr.. Costello
Is understood to be interested in the
naming of James NJ. Lynch. head of
the International Typographical Union,
as public printer. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Costello was instrumental in
bringing the name of Mr. Lynch before
National Chairman McCombs and Her
man Ridder of New York. who are back
ing Lynch.
Opposition to Lynch.
There has been nothing new at the
White House for some days as to the
Lynch appointment. and there is less
inclination to give it as fact that Mr..
Lynch is to be nominated. A hot fight
has been waged against the head of the
printers union. and his chances for the
nomination appear to have been lessened
as a result of the assaults on him. 1t is
now pretty certain that the President will
investigate the charges filed before TAX
ing action.
4 number of nominations will go to
the Senate tomorrow, and in the number
viii be many postmasters. Robert Spring
steen. Senator kern's candidate for post
master at Indianapolis, will be named.
B. NJ. Burgher will get the post office at
Dallas, Tex.

the President some time. Senator Shep-
pard of Texas introduced some callers. !
Senator Newlands was visitor A dozen
representatives and a number of New
Jersey people were in the list OF visitors
during the day.
President Wilson. at the suggestion of
Acting Gov. Fielder of New Jersey, will

Newark This change was agreed upon
today when Mr.. Fielder wrote the Presi- |
dent pointing out that the assemblymen
who most vigorously opposed jury reform
