birds OF a feather"

MEXICO ENVOY
BEFORE HOOVER
Successor to Morrow Given
Serious Study to Get
Proper Type

WASHINGTON. Aug, l.-F1-
In an effort to fill the diplomatic
post he considers most important
in the western hemisphere. Presid-
ent Hoover has turned his atten-
ton 10 the selection OF a successor
for Dwight w. Morrow. Ambas-
Sador to Mexico.
Ambassador Morrow has set
September as the time he will
probably relinquish his Mexico
City post IN preparation for the
November senatorial campaign ID
New Jersey IN which is the Re-
publican candidate.
II is generally expected In
diplomatic circles here that one OF
MI. Morrow's final acts in Mexico
City will be to lay before the Mex
lean government the name Of his
successor, 10 learn II the pres!d-
ents' selection is persona grata
to the southern republic.
Those close to the president said
today the chief executive has IL
mind two types Of men which he
feels might measure TO the repu-
tation established BY Mr.. Morrow
in the Mexican capital. One OF
these IS the business man or hank
er interested In public service. The
other IS the career diplomat Of
the type Of Hugh S. Gibson.
Ambassador TO Belgium and close
friend Of the president.
Several Considered
The proximity OF Mexico 10 the
United States with its consequent
international problems, the in
creasing trade between the .wo
countries and the growing import
ance OF Mexico in Pan-Americar
affairs have caused Mr.. Hoover 10
devote TO this vacancy more than
the usual attention he r. es
diplomatic appointments.
The presidents feeling that q
man OF special equipment must 81
selected. has considerably narrowed
the field, and it is understood Mr.
Hoover would prefer someone with
both the ability and financial
capacity 70 carry out the work
started BY Mr.. Morrow. The latter
~ addition 10 the regular embassy
personnel maintains for s-,ciaI
duties a staff OF his OWN including
J Reuben Clark. J-., Of Salt Lake
CITY, former under secretary ~
state. and George A. Rublee. Of
WASHINGTON, D. G. the former IN
dersecretary has been mentioned
Tor the post. but some doubts have
been expressed that he will be
selected.
ambassador Gibbons name has
never been mentioned directly in
connection with the post except as
tne diplomatic type which It's
president might desire.
