Notifies Sec. Lane None Would Be Confirmed But
 Governor Strong To
 Succeed Himself

WASHINGTON, March 7 - The nomination of Thos. A. Riggs, of the Alaska Railroad Commission to the governorship of the territory to succeed Gov ernor Strong, resigned, is caus- ing considerable stir in official circles immediately interested in the matter, and threatens to in- crease with time.
 It was learned today-odicially that several months ago, Senator Pittman, Of Nevada, a personal friend of Governor Strong, and who is chairman of the senate committee on territories; which committee must pass on the com- mission of Mr. Riggs, served notice on Secretary Lane that any nomination save that of Governor Strong to succeed himself, would be opposed in the committee. This fact was ad- mitted at the Department of the Interior today.
 Senator Pittman, when ques- tioned as to his attitude in the light Of the fact that Governor Strong has resigned; declined to reply until ha has received ac- curate information he is now seeking. There is thus 8 possi- bility Of delay in the confrnat- ion oi I5r. Riggs, and also the possibility Of an investigation of charges by the eX-delegate and counter charges by Rivard, pub- fisher Of Daily Progressive Miner at KetcliEan and other democratic factions in Alaska.
