Washington Reports Say He
Has Been Practically Chosen
for Chief ,yusticeship
Fro,n The Trib,tne's Wnshin oton Bureau

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Reports
are rife here tonight that former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft has been
practically chosen by President Har-
oing for Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, to fiji the vacancy created by the
death of the late Chief Justice White,
and that the appointment will soon be
sent to the Senate.
Official verifcation of the reports is
lacking. The White House had nothing
to say upon the subject. The most in
innate friends of the former President
in Washington express the utmost con-
fderce that he will be appointed Chief
Justice and it is known that they are
looking for the nomination to be sent
to the Senate within short time.
The only others, aside from Mr.. Taft.
who have been mentioned prominently
in connection with the appointment are
Secretary of State Hughes and former
Senator George Sutherland, OF Utah.
In recent weeks the trNnd of talk in
political circles has been largely in fa-
vor of Mr.. Taft. The selection of Sec
retary of State Hughes is rot looked
for by those close to the Administra-
tion. The President has not hesitated
to tell friends on several occasions that
he believes Mr.. Hughes is functioning
splendidly and happily as head Of the
State Department, and that the Presi-
dent feels he will establish a record
which will stamp him one of the great
secretaries of state in history.
