"Powerful" Interests Against
Mlm.

Kern, national democratic candidate
for vice president in the last national
election, today Issued a statement In

would prevent him making the cam
paign. His second reason he states
as follows:
"I have Incurred the displeasure of
certain powerful Interests, notably the
brewery Interests, and my candidacy
if I were so situated that I could be
a candidate, would doubtless provoke
a contest In some respects similar to
that of two years ago. when under

Much Speculation as to Whom
Taft Will Appoint to Su
preme Bench.
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.
Xew York s clamoring for recogni
tion, having been disappointed in its
claim for representation when Judge
I.urton was named as successor to
Justice Peckham. Louis Marsnall of
the firm of Guggenheim. 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.
Judge Swayze of the New Jersey su
preme court, Judge Deamer of Iowa
supreme court and Judge Hook of
Kansas now on the federal circuit
bench, are also among those who have
Influential backing at the white house.
