last nlSHt at tne TectOfy OF 81. Patrlck' 5
Cathedral. The appointment, it is un-
derstood, was made by cable from
Rome.
When the news reached this clty
Monsignor Lavelle, Vicar General Of
the Archdiocese of New York, said that
the selection would prove universally
satisfactory" He added that the an
nouncement had been "generally ex-
pected."
Monsignor John J. Dunn said that
confirmation of the elevation of Bishop
Hayes to the Archbishopric would be
received at II a. m. to-day from Wash
ington. The message of confirmation,
he said, would be sent in code from the
Vatican to Monsignor Bonzano, Apos-
tolic Delegate at Washington, who
would forward it to Bishop Hayes.
Hayes Hasn't Notification
The announcement was made by
Monsignor Dunn after review of the
69th Regiment, N. Y. G., at its armory
at which Bishop Hayes and Archbishop
Bonaventure Cerretti, of Corinth, were
present. Tht latter referred to Bishop
Hayes in brief address at the armory
as "His Grace the Archbishop of New
York"
Bishop Hayes said that any state
ment from him would be premature.
~ fear it would be inopportune at
this time for me to make any state
ment," he said, "for as yet l have re-
ceived no official notification from
Washington to the effect that l have
been appointed Archbishop of New
York. The report came quite unex-
pectedly, and I was in truth taken COM
pletely by surprise"
Friends of Bishop Hayes here have
been anticipating announcement of his
appointment for weeks. 1t is believed
that only short time will elapse be-
fore Bishop Hayes is made Cardinal.
Was Born in New York City
Archbishop designate Patrick Joseph
Hayes was born in this city Novem
Der 80, 1867, and received his early
training and education here. He was
reared in st. Andrews Parish, and
was baptized in that church, in City
Hall Place.
Archbishop Hayes passed success
sively through st. Andrews Parochial
School, De La Sale Institute and Man.
haitian College, all in New York. Then
he went to st. Joseph's Seminary,
Troy, and the Catholic University Of
America, at Washington, D. c.
From the moment of his ordination,
in 1892, Archbishop Hayes's career in
the church was linked closely with
the life and personality of the late
Cardinal Farley. His appointment to
succeed his friend and patron is the
last Of long series of bonds uniting
the two churchmen.
Young Father Hayes was sent to st.
GabriePs Church as an assistant priest
The pastor of St. Gabriels was John
M. Farley. A warm friendship sprang
up at once, and the young priest was
soon made the monsignor's secretary.
Every rise in Cardinal Farley's church
rank after this was followed by a pro-
motion for Father Hayes.
Becomes Chancellor Of Dioceses
When Monsignor Farley was ap-
pointed Auxiliary Bishop he again
made made Father Hayes his secretary.
When he succeeded to the Archbish-
opric of New York he appointed Mon
signor Hayes chancellor Of the diocese.

iege was founded, and Monsignor Hayes
was made president. He was appoint

lnllary Bishop Of New York on October
2S, 1914, and made permanent rector

ty-ninth Street. 1t is said that as
chancellor, he knew by name every one
OF the 1882 priests of the archdiocese.
ana was familiar with their character
.sslcs and the best way of reaching
them.
Bishop Hayes's quiet, unagsuming
ways, his simplicity of taste, strictness
IN conNpct, devotion to the Church and
an unfailing sense of humor attracted
attcntion early in his career. He has
never been a pastor, having always
Deen IN official positions, and his dis
pay OF ability and character for the
trust soon brought him to be regarded
IS bishops material"
- Bishop Hayes was appointed by the
rope as general chaplain OF the Cath
oiic priests in the United States army
and navy in November, 1917. Since,
however, the delicate health Of Cardi-
ma! Farley had thrown most of the
diocesan work on Bishop Hayes's
shoulders, he put off his trip to France

with the armies. He was about to sail
wnen Cardinal Farley fell i'll, and has
never carried out his plan Of visiting
