If it was left to the merchants and

it would be passed up without a doubt.
Out of over twenty interviewed by

After receiving the message from
Capt. Lassarre, the News wired and

Wilson was recalled after the assas-

will be accompanied by an embassy

This will mark the resumption of
formal diplomatic intercourse, which
has not existed since April %, 1914
when Charge Nelson O'Shaughnessy
was handed his passports by Huerta

of Presiden Wilson and is Also Get
dorsement Of Attorney General Gregory.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 31.-It
was authoritatively asserted in con-
gressional circles here today that At
torney General Gregory has sent to
the president the name of Congress-
man Frank Park, of the Second Geor
gia district, to succeed the late Judge
Lambdin as a federal Judge for the
southern district of Georgia
The president is also understood
to favor the nomination of Judge
Park Whether his name will go in
Immediately. it is said, depends upon
the prospect of opposition from the
two Georgia senators and particu-
larry Senator Hardwick. who is a
strong advocate of John T. West
A member of the Georgia delega-
tion who has been in closest touch
with the judgeship fight today con-
firmed that forecast. Unless unfore-
seen contingency arises, Congressman
Park will be named. He has prac-
tically been named. as it is not
thought the president. who holds Con-
gressman Park in highest esteem. will
overturn the recommendation of the
attorney general
Although both senator's are main

that Senator Hardwick will fight con-
ffrmation of Congressman Park. In

this event, it is intimated, the admin.

by Withholding the Park appointment
until after March 4. A recess ap-
pointment then would be made and
Congressman Park would take office
at once, his confirmation going over
until the nest session of congress.
