 Have Outing at Lake Compounee,
 Persistent rumors have been ahoat In the city in the last few days 10 the effect that Judge <, Russell Mink will not be candidate for re- election as probate judge this fall. He has been out Of town for iha last week so that his decision on the matter could mol be obtained. From friends and relatives, it has been learned lhat he feels that the posi- ton takes too much for the reeom- pense received and that his law practice has grown so that he has been considering for some time, ac- cording 10 his friends, leaving the probate office. He was elected four years ago after hot contest with Daniel ]. Heffernan. who had hold the office for the previous two years.
 While friends were discussing the candidacy of Judge Mink. who would probably be endorsed by both par ties if he cared 10 run. politicians Of the city were agog over an an- nouncement from local republican ranks that should Judge Mink de- sire the nomination of his own re- publican party. he might find con- testant in the person of Judge Roger s. Newell, who held the office for 16 years, before his defeat by Judge Heffernan.
 Judge Newell could not be reached today but his friends assert that hs does not care greatly about succeed ing to the office.
 With both the present judge and rumored opponent, none too will ing and with the democratic party not anxious over the office. the post seems likely to go begging, accord ing to the local political leaders.
 Both parties are on the lookout, however, for someone who can be mutually enQOTSeu.
