SOME DOUBT THAT
DIR. COOK WILL COME

Members OF the standing committee
OF the Episcopal Diocese Of Delaware,
viii meet on Thursday, May 2l, when
it is hoped the Rev. Philip Cook, ID. D.,
Of Baltimore, who was elected recent
ly as Bishop Of this diocese, may be
present.
While no date has been set by Dr.
Cook for his visit TO this city, it Is
understood he plans 90 make a survey
of the diocese within a week or ten
days
The annual dinner OF the Church
Club, OF Delaware. will be held fol-
lowing the visit Of Dr. Cook, the mem
bers Of the club having postponed the
AFFAIR pending some word from him
as to whether he Will accept the
Bish0pric.
While churchmen here have felt
that Dr. Cook would accept the posi-
offered him in the Diocese Of Della
ware. a Baltimore newspaper yes
ierday. said.
"The general sentiment as express
ed IN Episcopal Church circles and
among some Of the leading members,
Is that Or. Cook viii not accept the
new position. in view OF the large
field i'm which he is now engaged.
and also In view Of The fact that he
is still comparatively a young man
and has served his present parish
only about four years.
