ernor General, Say Of
ficials.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, former As
sistant Secretary of the Navy, is almost
certain to be nominated for the COVER
nor generalship of Porto Rico, accord
ing to reports in official circles.
The resignation of the governor gen.
eral, Towner, is in the hands of Pres
ldent Hoover, and will be accepted, it
Is said, and Felix Cordova Davila, dele
gate from Porto Rico, yesterday cabled
home to ascertain if the appointment Of
Col Roosevelt would be acceptable.
If the reply is favorable the nomi-

follow soon.
Senator Bingham of Connecticut,
chairman of the committee on insular
affairs, was a White House caller yes
terday and although declining to quote
the President, believed the situation as
outlined is correct.
Senator Bingham said President
Hoover was certain to name CONT

the post, and that unquestionably Col.
