Choice of Successor to Late
Head of Diocese Interests
Catholics of State

The choice of a successor to the
late Bishop Shanahan is at present an
absorbing topic of interest among
Catholics and many other citizens of
this city and the whole diocese of
Harrisburg and in the course of a few
days, or at least within a month, the
preliminary steps win be taken to
nominate the clergyman who will rule
over the Catholic See of Harrisburg.
In the United States, the law OF
the Catholic Church provides that at
the death of a bishop, the diocesan
consultors and the irremovable rec

the presidency of the archbishop or
senior bishop of the province, and
choose three candidates whose names
are sent to the consstoTial congrega-

questions. President Wilson's sup
porters, apprehensive that the smoul-
dering sentiment might suddenly
blaze up TO embarraSs the diplomatic
negotiations with Germany were
working to hold the administration
forces in line and keep the question
from the floor of both House and SEN
ate. The legislative situation in both
houses favored the administration
forces. The Senate was in the legisla-
tive day of yesterday which prevented
the subject from coming up without
unanimous consent. The situation in
the House was similar but not so Sc
rious. If an outburst came the lead

went to the Capitol again early to-day
that President Wilson's opposition to
any action by Congress was unshaken

expressed confidence that the Presi-
