Governor Harris will not announce the
appointment of a successor to Judge

He is delaying the appointment at the
request of several citizens of Savanna n
who are interested in either the appoint
rlent of General Peter w. Meldrim or At
torney w. b. Stubs.
General Meldrim still appears to have
the best chance of landing the appoint
ment, although Mr.. Stubbs and his
friends are working tirelessly in his be-
half. All day Tuesday and all day
Wednesday there was 4 steady stream Of
messenger boys bearing down upon the
executive offices with messages of in
dorsement of General Neldrim or Mr.,
Stubs.
The preponderance of messages We'd
nesday appeared to be i'm favor of Cen
erla MelGrim. one of the dozens in his
behalf was signed by leading Chatham
county officials headed by Colonel w. l..
Grayson, clerk of superior court.
1t is understood that Judge Samuel b.
Adams, of Savannah, will be here Thurs
day to urge the appointment of General
Meldrim.
Wednesday Judge II, II. ID. Twiggs, Of
Savannah, saw the governor in his own
behalf

had also been presented to the governor,

1t has served in a measure to clarity
matters, but it cannot be stated with
any defniteness when the vacancy will
be filled
The attorney general informed Con-
gresham Crisp yesterday afternoon that
the matter was still open, and the names
of several applicants under considera-
ton. Mr. Crisp called to present the
Endorsement of Judge Il. A. Littlejohn. of
Americu5
Neither Senators Smith nor Hardwick
had any comment today upon the with
drawal of CongreSSman Park. As stated
some DAYS go, the senator's have adopt
ed the attitude Of watChful waiting.
They have made the Endorsement and if
it should develop that their man,
John T. West. of Thomson, is unaccept-
able, they assume that the attorney gem
eral will so inform them. and confer
further about the judgeship. Pending
developments they are silent.
Congressman Park declined today TO
discuss his withdrawal
