Selection of Successor May
Be Delayed Longer Than
Had Been Expected.
SCH0ENFELD TO ACT
WITH FULL CONFIDENCE
Ambassador, Still at Game Lodge,
= Indicates Difficulties Con-
front New Envoy.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG,

STATE GAME LODGE, Black Hills.
S. Oak, July 9.-There Is a strong
feeling here that President Coolidge
probably will take ample time before
reaching a decision as to the selec.
ton Of a successor to James r. Shef.
field, whose resignation as Ambassa-
dor to Mexico he accepted yesterday.
Some of those who discussed with
the President our relations with Mexi.
CO and the probability Of Mr.. Shef.
fields retirement from the diplomatic
service just prior to the formers ar.
rival at the Summer White House
are inclined to think that the appoint
ment of a new Ambassador to this
post may be delayed longer than is
generally imagined.
President Coolidge said yesterday,
while announcing his acceptance Of
Mr.. Sheffield's resignation, that a con.
siderable number Of names already
had been suggested to him for con.
sideration in connection with this ap.
pointment. No intimation was given
by the Executive that he has any
one person, or even several, under
what might be described as serious
consideration.
Confidence In Sch0enfeld.
There Is feeling on the part Of
those who have talked with the Presi.
dent that he is not going to find 1t any
too easy to obtain the services of the
caliber Of man he wants to assume
the interests of the American Govern.
ment in Mexico City.
The fact that the President IS known
to have great confidence in the ability
of H. F. Arthur Schoenfeld, the Amer.
lean charge at Mexico City, who will
handle the affairs of this Government
below the Rio Grande until a new Am.
bassador is named, adds to the feeling
that is prevalent here that President
Coolidge is not going to act hastily.
Since the announcement Of MIR.
Sheffield's retirement, talks with the
President and his associates have
prompted calculations as to the pos.
sible time Of the selection of q sue
cessor. which produce three answers;
First, Some months" Second.
"Some time in the future" Third,
''Not any longer than IL Mr.. Sheffield
were to return at the end of his period
of leave" When the President men.
toned the latter possibility, he was
not certain as to the length of Mr..
Sheffield's present leave of absence.
These calculations, which are highly
indefinite. are based on things the
President himself has said. and IL
studied carefully and well boiled down
can readily be taken to mean that the
President is uncertain as to his own
mind and that no time has been de-
cided upon for the naming Of the new
Ambassador.
Ambassador Sheffield Is still a guest
at the game lodge and he and the Pres
ident, during their series of confer.

spread, trapping men, women and

fire escapes and the roof. Within a
few minutes exit by the stairways
was cut off.
Henderson said the cigarette was
dropped by a passerby on paper in
the fourth floor corridor and was re-
sponsible for the fire. The painter
received minor burns while making
his way to safety.
