May Not Appoint During Recess.

When President Wilson appoints an
other member of the Supreme Court of
the District he will have named a ma
jority of it's members. the court con-
sisting of six members and his previous
appointments having been Justice Sid
dons, Justice Mccoy and Chief Justice
Covington. The other two members are
Justice Gould and Justice Stafford. The
appointment may not be made imme-
diately, as lawyers today called atten-
tion to the fact that it has been the
ments to the federal bench during the
recess of Congress.
At the Department of Justice today
it was said that there have been only
two names submitted, far. for the
vacant judgeship. These are William
Henry White, formerly an assistant
corporation counsel for the District of
Columbia, and J. NJ. Gudger. jr.. of
North Carolina. formerly representa-
tive in Congress. Members of the bar,
however. are Informally discussing
many names of men whom they would
like to see appointed, and it was be-
lieved by some of them that if there is
any "slip-up" in the appointment of Mr..
Hitz, the present district attorney, John
E. Laskey, might be named. one mem

Others Mentioned for Place.

The speculation as to the appoint
ment among members of the bar, be-
fore they heard that Mr.. Hitz stands
high on the list, took wide range.
and, in addition to Mr. Laskey's name.
included that of S. J. Graham of Penn
sylvania, an assistant attorney gem
eral, who is said by his friends to be
in Il receptive attitude toward the an
pointment, although it is not believed
that he would make any active effort
to obtain it.
Mr.. Graham, well as Mr. Hitz, had
much to do with coliatjng information
for the Attorney General and the Pres
ident iii regard to previous appoint-
ments by the President to the Su-
preme Court Of the District. One man
familiar with Department Of Justice
affairs said today. however. that Of
the two men he believes Mr.. HitZ IL

not been, in fact. understa ndine
that Mr. HitZ should have the next
vacancy among such appointments. ana
that in any event there is an impress

Today's speculation among members
of the bar also included the name of
Senator Blair Lee of Maryland, recent
ly defeated at the primaries for sec

of the District bar and well known
aAd popular here.
There seems to be no doubt among
la wyers, Notwithstanding the fact that
there are but two applications on file

Fans Unmindful of Cold.

Brooklyn did not mind the cold weather
today. Elated by yesterdays defeat of
the Red Sox the enthusiastic crowd that
came early to the field would have fell
comfortable on an iceberg.
The crack of the Brooklyn bats that
toppled over the EostonS was still
echoing over Ebbets Field this morn

gather. and the crowd was in high
numor over the days prospects for
another win over the red-hosed players

STRONG OFFICIAL SUPPORT

y well defined rumor gained credence
in Washington today to the effect that
President Wilson will shortly appoint
William Hitz, an attorney of the De-
partment of Justice practicing before
the Court of Claims, to the position on
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia recently made vacant by the
death of Associate Justice Thomas III.
Anderson. Or, if it is not now settled
that President Wilson will make this
appointment. it is believed that Mr..
Hitz will have the first and strongest
support of the Attorney General for
the vacancy. as compared with any
other names that may come under con-
sideration.
Mr.. Hitz is q Washingtonian. From
1899 until shortly after the beginning
of the present administration he was
associated with the law firm of which
Wayne MacNeagh is member ME-
Hitz was born here, the son of John
Hitz, the first consul of Switzerland TO

many years associated with Alexander

May Be on Eastbound Ship.

Liverpool Is the hailing port of the

fact naval officers developed the possi-
bility that the boats were from that
vessel. Liverpool. also. is the hailng
port of the steamer West Point. whose
crew was rescued by a torpedo boat de-
stroyer. Whether ALI the West Points
boats are accounted for had not been
determined today. The statement in the

condition was accepted as an indication
that no harm fell to those who had
been in them. If the boats We're those
