Difficulties Are Encountered In Choice
II OF Republican Committee Chairman
Name Of Mrs. Hert's Sue
! cessor May Not Be Di-
| yulged for Months

What Is holding mp the
plans to name a successor to
Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, as vice
chairman Of the Republican
national committeei A Sc
lection Of the new title
holder was supposed to be
decided upon at the meeting
Of the committee on Sep
tember 8. But It seems that
there are some obstacles
and The choice Of . vice
chairman may be deferred
for some months.
I'M VIII She Ba7
There has only been one name
mentioned In connection with
this post, and that In the name
Of Mrs. Worthington Scranton,
of Scranton, Pa, initiated by
Mrs. Hert. And, Of course, il
the meeting for q decision il
put off for any length of time,
the boom for Mrs. Scranton will
be extfnguished.
4s Not Difficult
! It ssanas rather peculiar that no
other AamaS Of aspirants for this
offiee have found their way into
print though 1t In known that
there are many candidates and
rtvalries are sharp. It shouldn't
be 50 difficult to find . woman,
devoted to the cause, wealthy, and
an aniabls and tactful offiC:sI
hostess.
Go Southl
Maybe it would be we'll to 20
South and look around. For Claud-
ius Huston, who is presumably the
new national chairman, halls from
Tennessee. and Mrs. Hert, who
has fulfilled her duty to the last
degree as vice chairman, IL from
Kentucky. So, It seems that q
Southerner is really intended for
the office. But who will this per.
son be?
