matter, would be adjusted—“how
ever,” said Mr. Perry, “if Mr

OPPOSING CLEAN OFFICIAL
Senator Ankeny is believed to
be really, although not openly, op
posed to Wickersham’s reappoint

based on charges against his official
record, but the campaign against
Wickersham is personal. Alter
discussing dhe matter briefly, the
president and attorney-general de
cided that no decision could be
reached regarding t.he appointment
until the question of a new judicial
division is settled or until congress
adjourns without action.—Ex.
