TAFT OR HUGHES
MAY BE NAMED AS
THE CHIEF JUSTICE
APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TO
DEAD JURIST MAY BE VERY
DIFFICULT: CLAIMED FORMER
PRESIDENT ELIMINATED

Washington, Ma. l9.--rhe choice Of
n successor To Edward Douglas White
as chief justice OF the United states
was one Of the most widely discussed
subjects today In official circles or the
capital Although the speculation CEN
tered chiefly about the name of form
or President william Howard Taft
there were many Indications that
President Harding was far from de-
cision and might find the selection n
difficult one.
one of the first suggestions to come
to the surface In private discussions NJ
the subject among members or the
senate. which must confirm the noml-
nation. was that Nr. Taft had uis'
qualified himself by lnsistiny wnen he
was chief executive hat no man over
80 years of age over should be ap'
pointed 10 the highest court.
All indications pointed to consider
able delay In making tho appointment.
The general Impression waH that moth.
Ing would be done prior 10 the recon-
vening of the court nficr It's summer
recess. which begins juno 4.
Mr.. Taft is known TO have bcn lonr
under consideration by President Hard.
ing as possible chief justice. Th'
former president several times has
publicly declared that one of his grcnl
regrets was that fortune had cast his
service in the executive and not the ju.
dlcial br;.nch Of the government. and
many ~ his friends already have
started 10 bring influence to bear to
have him appointed to the vacant chief
justiccship.
Another whose name will be linked
repeatedly with the highest icdicid
pos; is Secretary Hughes OF the state
department. member of the court un
al he retired In 1919 to accept the rc'
publican nomination for the presidency
Since Mr. Hughes selection for the
state portfolio a story has persisted
that he might become head of the cour'
in case uf vacancy. but there nevc'
has been any tangible evidence tha
President Harding intended to appoint
him.
