Hoover Ignores JudSeship Rec concentrations by N. '. SenatoE7

Washington, April IT tUP)-Her bert Hoover and Alfred E. Shit have talked it over man to ma since the presidential election, hu he historic Miami meeting did no slgnalize q truce between the pres dent and Tammany Hall.
 Tammauy is to get none of the five federal judgcships now vacant in New York city and Brooklyn. The Hoover appointments are expected 10 go 10 the senate today or tomor- row Senators Wagner and Copeland have pressed their claims 10 recogni- ton in New York patronage with considerable yisor, but Hoover al- ready has determined, 1t was learned today on good authority, in this in stance at least the senatorial reCom- mcndations cannot be followed.
 When President Coolidge sent the name of Francis G. Gaffey to the $, nate late in February with two other nominations for vacancies in the New York city federal court, tn" entire list Was held up by Senator Wagner and the congress expired with the nominations still awaiting attention Of the senate judiciary committee Catfcy is non-Tam- many democrat.
 Like Coolidge. Hoover seems dis posed to appoint q democrat 10 one Of the New Iotk city judeeships, but apparently is firmly set against a Tammany nomination.
 Political observers are SpeCulating on the possibilities of the New York senators again fighting the judicial nominations until their rights a. New York patronage dispensers ar recognized by the White House. ln itr ordinary procedure senators ar allowed considerable voice in the sc lection of federal office holders i'~ their states. Since there are tNf democratic senators from New 1Orl however. President Hoover has bett. forced to turn for guidance to rc- publican members Of the house an1 party leaders throuehout the state. The two democratic senators arc represented hy friends on Capitol Hill as ready 10 make q fight pick ing Hooyor's judicial appointments as a rallyng point for an offensive,

Returns From Vacation

The main reason that no sports
articles have appeared for the last
three weeks is that the editor has
been taking . vacation whether
he deserved one or not.)
The funny thing about it is he
asked to go, 20 consequently when
asked to "be prepared to stand by
to go about" as we used to say it
on the old square Triggers, the
poor boy being caught off guard
was naturally embarrassed as any
one in the same circumstances
would be. You know it is tough
question to answer for anyone who
has been on a vacation. You gentle
men will understand, especially if
you have a wife.
But lets get down to the topic of
the vacation proper. He told me
confidentially that he had spent
the whole three weeks chasing the
news boys to see what his substi-
tute was writing, but alas and
alack there was nothing to be
found so he concluded that the
work was right up to standard and
decided to come back to work
