ton II the latter did not voluntarily
retire.
While on the subject Of the Wash
ington commissionership President
Coolidge impressed some Of those in
conference with him that he may be
considering appointing shortly two
new civilian Commissioners Tor the
District. What called for his feeling
was the PresidentAs remark that he
had heard reports to the effect that
Commissioner Rudolph was consider.
ing retiring. He said he had heard
that Mr.. Rudolph was not In the best
Of health and was eager to get back
to private life and q less strenuous
existence than that Of administering
the AFFAIRS Of the National Capital
Information Is Rum0r.
The Presidents spokesman ampii-
ned this remark, however, by saying
that Commissioner Rudolph had never
given the President any idea that he
was contemplating retiring and that
what the President had heard was
purely rurnor. The President has not
seen Mr.. Rudolph for many months
and therefore has no definite assur-
ance that Commissioner Rudolph has
any intention OF giving up his post.
Associates of the President stated
today that while his remarks about
Mr.. Jennings retirement have been
90 plain and frank that there should
be no doubt In any ones mind, they
felt very sure, however, that the
President has given no thought TO the
appointment Of a successor. It was
explained that the President win give
no attention TO this task until he
formally has received Mr.. Jennings
resignation and It has been announced.
Naturally enough candidates for the
Cornfnissionership already are loom
ing up. Some names have been sent
to the President to be taken under
consideration, but thus far these have
gone no further than the executive
once. None win be handed over to
Mr.. Coolidge until he asks for them.
IN the meantime Secretary Sanders
has no intention Of making these
names public.
