entire new shipping board of seven
members will have to be appointed.
The appointment of Henry Nor
genthau to the ambassadorship to
Mexico has not been confirmed by
the senate. 1t was said today at the
State Department that Mr.. Morgen-
thau could not be given a recess ap-
pointment under the law, but Of
tlcials would not venture a predic-
ton as to whether a recess appoint
ment of an ambassador to the south
ern republic would be made.
-Four other diplomatic posts are
vacant at this time. the United States
being without minister to Bulgaria,
Finland, Greece and Honduras.
Another nomination which the
senate has again failed to act upon
is that of John Shelton Williams to
be comptroller of the currency. He
was given recess appointment last
year after the senate failed to con-
firm his nomination.

Boles Penrose will not go to Chi
cago to attend the national repub-
lican convention. This announce
ment was made by his physicians
today following a conference.
Five physicians were in consulta-

surgeons, DR.. John B. Deaver and
DR.. Edward Martin, were added to
the group heretofore in attendance

an operation is contemplated.
The patient is said to be suffering

Chicgo, June 5.-Herbert Hoover
will be be placed in nomination at
the national convention by Nathan
L. Miller, who stands at the head
of the list OF delegates-at-large from
New York. This was announced
definitely today and the announces
ment carried much political signif-
icance to the insiders. #
Mr.. Miller, it is asserted in we'll
informed quarters, is on the verge of
becoming republican leader of New
York state; taking the place of the
so-called regency" that is now at
the head of the works. Mr.. Miller
is former Judge of the court of ap-
peals Of New York. He lives in
Syracuse and is closely affiliated
with leading business interests of
the greater city.
See Swing for Hoover.
Mr.. Miller's first choice for the
presidency originally is understood
to have been Gen. Wood and his
second choice was Governor Low
den. His acceptance of the post of
making the nominating speech for
Hoover is held in some quarters as
being indicative of the beginning of
determined swing toward Hoover
among uninstructed and unpledged
delegates. I..r
The announcement of the arrange
ments for the Hoover nominating
speech was coupled with stan
ment given out by Oscar Straa.s
former ambassador to Turkey, who
arrived at Hoover headquarters to-
day from New York. ~
"Mr. Hoover" said Mr.. Straus,
"is the candidate of the people and
of statesmen. He represents in the
most eminent degree of any candi-
date the greatest needs of the coun-
try following the war viz-economic
reconstruction. He has given the
greatest evidence of transcendant
ability in that direction of any liv-
ing man. In the colossal work that
he has so we'll performed as food
administrator for our country and
following the armistice for the allied
nations.
Capacity for Cooperation.
my close relations with him in
his work justifies me in saying that
have never met man with the
exception of Theodore Roosevelt,
who had greater capacity for co.
operation with other men. That
ability to cooperate is evidenced
by the thousand and more men and
women throughout the country con.
nected with the work of Belgian
relief and the food administration
in this country. who are heartily in
sympathy with the movement to
make him candidate for the presis
dency. l emphasize this fact bes
cause there has been a sympathetic
Propaganda to the effect that Mr..
Hoover. is outocratic and lacks the
spirit of cooperative work. Nothing
is further from the truth"

Of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission that adequate service is in
