not ready to say just which field he feels

While Bishop Thomas has made no
promise In that behalf, nor IS it known
that he has any intention of dong SO,
there is still possibility that he may
again come to Delaware before deciding
the matter involving the local bishopric.
He went to Pittsburg, Pa, today and will
be there few days. In about ten days,
however, he will be in Boston, Mass,
to keep an appointment there, and it
would not be surprising ii he should again
