Messrs. Hamill and Hoff are DEM
ocrats. and MI. Bacharach. a Re-
publican. Hamill will be named for
the six-year term, Hoff for four
years and Bacharach, for the two
rear term.
AS the Wallworth act, under
which the appointments are made,
provides, each man receive $4,000
a year providing he is confirmed by
the senate. 1t is believed that the

in this respect hence the announce
ment this morning that he would
nominate them tonight. If Bacha-
rach is confirmed this will leave
the internal revenue collectorship
open to some other South Jersey
Republican, probably a Camden
man. This is the job Camden wants
because it carries heavy patronage
and it is believed that the governor
nominated the Atlantic City man
with the understanding that the
South Jersey Republican senators,
who are friendly to the Baird-Pat-
terson forces will vote to confirm
Hamill and Hoff, along with Bacha-
rach.
Mr.. Hamill has just retired from
congress after serving there four
teen years. Mr.. Hoff is president
