AI;IGRAlA
Is Said to Favor General
Riley for Federal Dis
trict Attorney.

WASHINGTON, April 3-The arriv-
al in Washington Of Bernard Handlan
and James w. Ewing. both of Wheel
ing, following only few days after a
visit here by Col, John T. McGraw
would indicate that the friends of
General Thomas S. Riley have by no
means abandoned their fight to have
the general made district attorney for
the Northern district of West vir-
glnia.
1t seems to be generally understood
that Stuart W. Walker, chairman of
the Democratic executive committee
is the choice of Senator Chiffon and
his friends for this position. 1t is
we'll understood at the same time
that John T. McGraw has no friend
ship for Col. Walker and will not per-
nit him to be appointed without his
protest. 1t is also understood that
General Thomas S. Riley is Col, Nc
Graw's choice for district attorney.
Mr.. Handlan is one of the few mem
bers of the state executive committee
who can be classed as a McGraw sup
porter and who might therefore be re-
garded as mfriendly to Col. Walker
While the purpose of the recent visits
of these West virginians to Washing
ton has not been made public. it is
generally believed that they were
here for the purpose of assisting the
candidacy of General Riley.
