Contests Are Scheduled on
Wyoming, Pennsylvania
Appointments.
TARIFF ACTION DELAYED
Nye Serves Notice He viii
Oppose Successor in
Ware Rejection.
BY PAUL r. MALLON,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The
senate whitfield away at the tariff
bill today, awaiting two prospective
election contests.
Senator Designate Patrick Sulli-
van Rep., Wyo) was scheduled to
present his credentials of appoint
ment from the Governor of his
state to fill the vacancy created by
the death OF Senator Warren. A
cloakroom debate has been carried
on during the last few days over
the question of whether the Wyom-
ing Governor had the power to Sc
lect Warren's successor.
Constitutional authorities have
differed over Interpretation of the
Wyoming law under which the ap-
pointment was made, and objection
is expected from some quarters
when Sullivan presents his certi-
gcate.
Expect Naming of Grundy
Meanwhile, these constitutional
authorities are awaiting appoint
ment Of senator to succeed Will
liam S. Ware, the Philadelphia Re-
publican leader who was denied a
seat because he spent $785, 900 in his
primary election.
The senate expects Joseph r.
Grundy, Pennsylvania manufacture
er, will be named in Wares place.
Grundy aroused the diSpleasure of
the senate when he testified before
the lobby investigating committee
that he would reduce western repre-
Sentation in the senate because
western states contributed so little
to the public welfare.
Notice of a contest over whoever
is appointed has been served by
Senator Nye (Rep, N. D.. Nye an
nounced when Ware was ousted he
would object to any appointment
made by Governor Fisher of Penn
sylvania who was associated with
the Pepper ticket in the $3,00O,0oO
Pennsylvania primary.
Debate on Wool
While these questions were &C.
cupying the minds of senators, the
wool schedule of the tariff bill was
up for debate, and the house tax
reduction resolution was awaiting
consideration. Republican Floor
Leader Watson expected to get the
latter measure before the senate at
the earliest possible moment and
anticipated little objection its pas
sage.
The house was working on the in
terror department appropriation bill
the first of the government supply
measures. 1t probably will be passed
Tuesday.

SUMNER LESLIE
JUDGE CHOICE
Governor FIonts SoIons by
Appointment.

Disregarding recommendations Of
Congressman Harry Rowbottom Of
Evansville and State Senator Bruce
Cooper of Stewartsville, First dis
trict Republican chairman, Governor
Harry G. Leslie today appointed
John L. Sumner of Petersburg as
judge of the Pike-Dubois circuit
court.
With only three Republicans in
the two counties eligible for appoint
ment as successor to Judge Bomar
Traylor, who died last Wednesday;
Leslie selected the third man.
Five hours after Judge Traylor
died, Rowbottom, from Washington,
recommended Arthur Wolvin of Pc
tersburg.
Shortly thereafter, Cooper called
at the Governors office and cham
pioned the cause of w. L. Hunter
of Jasper.
Cooper declared there only were
three Republicans eligible for the
judgeship: Hunter, Wolvin and
Sumner.
"All Republicans in the two
counties favor Hunter" Cooper de-
clared. "Wolvin is looked upon with
suspicion, because a Democratic
county commission selected him as
county attorney"
Cooper's action in opposing Row
bottom was seen as a bid for
patronage in order to test his
strength with Rowbottom, whom he
will oppose in the May primary for
the congressional nomination.
Leslie took the middle course,
favoring neither.
