Dr. J. EX H. Simpson .today In discussing
the-etatug of .the Uniontown. Pa., clergy
man, who was elected blebop-eoadjutor
of the Protestant Eplacopal diocese of
Oregon and declined to accept, after
charges were preferred that he le high
church in his Interpretation of the
ritual and. Intimations had been given
that he waa not financially responsible.
It was Dr. Simpson's understanding
that any further official cognisance of
the case would be by hearllig before the
standing committee of the diocese. . It
appears to be certain -that., Dr.. Lloyd
ias not withdrawn his letter of de
clination of aha office of coadjutor.
'I cannot see how Dr. X'eyd could
withdraw such a letter," said Dr. Simp
son. "Once in a similar case In another
diocese auch a letter was permitted to
be -withdrawn, -but it - was i because -the
standing committee permitted ft, . and
not because the bishop-elect' had rlghte
la -the: premises, under which he jcould

- "I cannot believe that Dr. Lloyd will
want further Inquiry." said a prominent
churchman today. - "The committee that
looked into the matter atfme .mecKO
received letters from England that es
tablished beyond cavil that Dr. . Lloyd
is a high churchman; that he was reared
In the Jurisdiction of. the bishop of Ox

there as an ultra-reactionist In sym
pathy with the movement that we think
tends to turn the church backward to
ward the popinri standards."
