SUCCESSOR TO PAGE
SPECULATION SUBJECT
Charles R. Crane and Ira Nelson
Morris Said to Be Possibilities.

Speculation regarding the success
sor to the post made vacant by the
resignation of Walter Hines Page,
ambassador to the Court OF st.
James. yesterday included two more
names-those of Charles r. Crane
and Ira Nelson Morris, both of
Chicago.
Mr.. Crane, who has been q
staunch supporter of the present ad-
ninistration and a warm personal
friend Of the President, saw the lat
ter yesterday and had a hah-hour
chat with him. Mr.. Crane was a
member of the Root mission to Rus
sia; and during the Taft admins
tration he was named as minister
to China. but resigned before as
suming his official duties. It Is
known that he is willing to return
10 the diplomatic service.
Mr.. Morris is also considered q
possible successor because of the
successful work he has performed
as this country's minister to
Sweden He is a member OF the
Chicago packers family. and was
appointed to his present post by
President Wilson.
Col House is still included in the
ust of probable appointees. and the
same of Thomas Nelson Page. pres
ant ambassador to Italy. has also
been mentioned.
