SUGGEST NAMES
! FOR WHITE SEAT
Taft and Hughes Mentioned rs Pos
sible Successors to Late
Chief Justice.

Washington, May 19.-(Associat-
ed Press)-Choice of a successor
to Edward Douglass White as chief
justice Of the United States was
one Of the most widely discussed
subjects today in official circles of
the capital. Speculation centered
chiefly about the name of former
President William Howard Taft.
but one of the first suggestions in
private discussions among members
OF the senate, which must confirm
the nomination. was that MIR. Taft
has disqualified himself by insist
ing when he was chief executive
that no man more than 60 wears
old should be appointed to the high
est court.
The general impression was that
nothing would be done prior to the
reconvening Of the court after its
summer recess, which begins on
June 4. Another whose name has
been linked with the highest Judi
cial post is Secretary Hughes, a
member Of the court until he re-
tired in 1916, to accept the Repubii-
can nomination for the presidency,
A barrier, it is pointed out, is the
prominence already assumed by Mr,
Hughes as secretary Of state in
view OF the important phases
through which the nations foreign
anairs are passing.
In some quarters there have
been suggestions that solution OF
the problem might be reached BY
the promotion of one OF the pres
ent justices. The names most fire.
quently mentioned in connection
with such a possible promotion are
those of Justice Day Of Ohio and
Justice Holmes of Massachusetts,.
Should a promotion be made the
vacancy thus created would be
generally expected to 60 to George
Sutherland, former United States
senator from Utah and former
president Of the American Bar A.
