HUGHES AND VANDEVENTER ARE FAVORITES IN RACE Death of Justice Brewer Presents An other Problem to President Many Candidates Being Urged for Vacan cy Previous Rulings on Pending Questions Will Not Bar Judges Who Look to ApH)intment -New York Wants Recognition. Washington, April 12. Governor Hughes of Xew York anu Judge Van deventer of the United States circuit court are reported to be the favorites In the Judicial possibilities to fill the vacancy on the supreme bench caused by the death of Justice Brewer. When It was announced In the su preme court yesterday that a rehear ing of the Standard Oil and American Tobacco companies cases would be ne cessary, the conclusion was drawn in many quarters that this decision urac- tically eliminated Circuit Judges Van deventer and Sanborn and Solicitor Bowers from consideration as Justice Prewer's successor. This was based on the fact that the two Judges had passed upon the cases which are to be reconsidered and Mr. Bowers assisted In the prep aration of Jhe government's case. Inquiries at the White House later in the day, however, showed that President Taft is taking the position that if a man be deemed fit for the supreme court bench, the fact that he passed upon pending cases in a lower court, or assisted in the preparation of a pending case in any way should not bfc a bar to his appointment.

Untermeyer & Marshall has been strongly urged to Pree!Jent Taft. This is true also of Judges Hiscock, Andrews, Tomp kins and Frane, of the Xew York state supremo court.
