Washington. Jan 7.--Bccausc of n
decided difference in the point OF Wow ot
the two Senators there seems to be little
prospect of speedy appointment OF n
Federal Judge for the Delaware district.
Senator Nolcott desires the appointment
of James II Hughes of Dover, but Scna-
tor Salisbury will not consent II seems
certain that If Wilmington man is not
selected the appointment Will bc indeti-
nItCtv delayed,
Richard : Rodney and Robert G.
Harman of Wilmington appear to have
powcrful backing. senator Salisbury has
presented strong petitions favoflng 10th
men for the post, but has not definitely
committed himself 10 either Thomas +.
Bayard also has q large following and
former Representative l.. Irving Handy is
not without valuable backing.
PRESIDENT WILL NOT DECIDE.
But II is understood to be the policy Of
the President to wait until an agreement
can bc reached between tho Senator's be-
fore making q selection Representative
Polk said he would like to see the matter
settled without delay, and he hoped the
Senators would be able to properly adjust
their points Of view
This appointment should be made with
as little delay as possible, Representative
Polk said. There are plenty Of good
lawyers TO make selection from II
would be hard to make an unworthy
choice But this matter am leaving to
the United States Senators,

appointed about two months ago and
