Of Ten or More "Mention- ed" to Succeed Judge
 Grace Field NarroWs.
HUNT AND SORRELS
 SEEKING THE PLACE
With Senator SOrreIls and Former Senator White in Little Rock, Ru- nor Last Night Makes Hunt Fay-
 Orite--DelegatiOn to See Hays.

From the ten or more attorneys mentioned" during Friday and Saturday in connection with the vacancy on the bench of this circuit. occasoned by the death of Judge A. B. Grace, the field appears to nave narrowed to two-Special Judge s. J. Hunt and Senator w. B. Sorrells- with Jack Bernhardt of Arkansas City looming in the rear as possible dark horse" or compromise choice.
 Several of those mentioned elimi- mated themselves with great positive ness. Others indicated they were in what the politicians term "recep- tive" mood, out would make no effort to obtain the jhdgeshiip. In other words, they indicated they were In the hands of their friends. If their friends could land the place for. them, all right. If not, all right, again.
 According to rumors that filtered In last night from the scene of the as- sault in Little Rock, Special Judge Hunt appeared to be "the one best best" although Senator Sorrells' friends were driving hard. and showed no indication of quitting be- fore Governor Hays rinigs the bell and hangs out the winning number.
 MT. Hunt has strong friends whp are among the governors most loyal supporters-among those to whom ee is greatly obligated. His friends here think these will be able to in fluence the appointment of MT. Hunt, who is also a boyhood friend of the governor.
 Pros. With S0rrells.
 MT. Sorrells' prohibition friends are working for him 'ftooth and toe- nail" Former Senator White, now in charge of the Anti-Saloon league work in this state; went to Little Rock Friday to begin pulling the wires for MT. Sorrells, who followed his friends to the capital Friday even- ing.
 The influence of Earl Hodges, can didate for governor; Attorney-Gener- al Wallace Davis and others influ- ential in state politics is being sought by the friends of the applicants. The term for which Judge Grace was elected will not expire until No- vember, 1918. The governor has not decided whether he will call special election to fill the vacancy, Or let his appointee enjoy the seat until this n.x,. general election.
 Judge w. D. Jones, Judge w. T. Woodbridge, N. J. Can't and Greed Caldwell would not consider appoint ment to the vacancy, others who were talked of are W. A. Alexander, A. M Hooker and Alex Rowell. None o1 these displayed anxiety for the bench.
 Numerous conferences were held yesterday to determine, if possible on choice, but up to last night the Pine Bluff folk were unable to center on one man.

Ford's Peace Mission PrOvOkes ScOrn

Paris, Dec. 4.-Henry Ford's peace mission is laughed to scorn here, 1n both official and unofficial quarters where it is regarded as the most rl- d;culous episode of the war.
 The government is adhering to a policy of peace after victory, wh1ch means the expulsion of the Germans from French soil, including Alsace- Lorraine. It utterly disregards the Ford expedition, and is not in the least likely to move hand to fur ther it.
