HARRISBURG, Pa, December T.
Gov. John S. Fisher announced def
nitely today that he would not make
an appointment for the seat in the
Senate denied William S. Ware before
Monday.
While he has been in communication
with various leaders of the Republican
party in the State, the governor said he
had no conferences listed on the SEN
torial appointment for the week end.
The official notice of the vacancy
has rot been received at the executive
offices and the governor said under no
circumstances would he appoint Sen
ator until the notification came to him.
Vice President Curtis was directed by
the Senate yesterday to forward of1cial
word of the Senate'S action to Mr..
Fisher.
Plans DeIiberatiOn.
Asked about the statement he made at
Reading last night that the appoint
ment was matter OF hours, the gov
ernor said, II am going to act with de-
liberation and upon advice. 1t is my
hope that whatever may do will meet
with the approval of the State"
The governors last remark was in
terpreted in official circles as meaning
that he intended to pick man for the
post who could run for the remainder
of the unexpired Ware term and would
be elected.
Speculation on the identity of the man
to be named by Gov. Fisher took wide
range today.
No less than a dozen possibilities were
advanced in political circles, with Jo-
seph P. Grundy of Bristol. president Of
the Pennsylvania Manufacturers Asso-
citation, heading the list. Political OBJ
servers believed that Grundy would be
offered the appointment, but there was
considerable doubt as to his acceptance
because Of the unfriendly feeling mani
fest against him by independent Repub-
licans and Democrats in the Senate dur
ing the investigation of his lobbying ac-
tivitieS.
Opinions to Be Obtained.
The governor criticized the Senate
for refusing to seat Mr.. Ware, saying:
THE Senate's arbitrary rejection Of
Ware sets precedent that is dangerous
and should give every thoughtful Amer
lean occasion to pause and think"
Gov. Fisher characterized reports that
he intended to appoint Mr.. Ware as
absolutely untrue" Many believed that
Mr.. Ware would not accept the appoint
ment we're it to be rendered, but that
he would be a candidate for renonni-
nation to the post at the primary elec-
ton in May.
Addresses Convention.
Addressing a State National Guard
convention at Reading last night the
governor said:
II have been shown statement made
by q Senator better known for his voice
than for his craftsmanship.
We'll, all say to that Senator, who
intends to oppose anything the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania does, is that he
reminds me good deal of small ants
talking to a lot Of jumbo elephants; I
don't want to belittle the States that
have small population and representa-
ton out of proportion to their numbers
and interest in Government, but want
to say that I would fail in my duty as
governor of this State of Pennsylvania
II allowed threat from any source,
by any United States Senator's or who-
ever may be outside of Pennsylvania to
dictate the action of Pennsylvania in
selection of United States Senator.
And one of the things might say
that seems to give them concern is a
man by the name of Grundy. There
seems to be some fear of some man
bearing the name of Grundy. If read
the emanations from a few United
States Senators correctly there are a
great many Grundys in the United
States Senate of the female persuasion
and all have to say to the sisters
from Arkansas and Nebraska is that I
regret in the language of England's
foremost living poet, The female of
the species is more deadly than the
male"
