Two previous notes, one a month

asked that all foreign vessels and

not answered the second.

that he had no knowledge of any re-

speculation over a successor to Su-
preme Court Justice Benjamin N.
Cardozo, who died Saturday after a
long illness, centered today on two
possible courses:
President Roosevelt might select
Senator Robert Wagner, Democrat
New York, or some other New York
er, because the late justice was a resi-
dent of that State.
He might appoint a resident of the
Far West because that region is not
now represented on the court. There
is, of course, no requirement that the
President follow either of those two
courses.
In any event, he will probably make
no appointment before fall because
the court is in recess until October.
