His opponents on the Watch Pre. vent a Private Ceremony Bishop Potter. NEW YORK. May 9-No public an luitmcenient having been made on Sun. day for the time and place of ordination of Dr. BnKKs, the belief has become widespread that his ordination to the Episcopal prleslhood has been Indefi nitely postponed. Among Dr. Briggs' most ardent -supporters, the conviction Is growing so that the ceremony of or. dlnatlon can hardly be performed prior to his departure for Europe on May 18. Mint so soon a lime imerve,niK ucii'ie next Sunday, me day ongman, set 'the ordination. It is held that the bishop cannot ton give what might fairly be " considered due notice of the ceremony. I A clergyman who has followed the course I of events closely, says that a simple so. I hitlon of the difficulty would be to force Blshon Totter to refrain from namlntr a jnew date for the ordination In other 1 words, do nothing. : This course would commit neither the I bishop nor Pr. Brlggs. and for the pres. cm. at any rate, would allay the spirit of -hostility to the ordination; on the other hand the bishop would be saved from the .responsibility of Immediate action. J That Bishop Potter should privately 'Ordafu Dr. Brlggs is regarded as a con. ItHigency not to be regarded. Assurances ave been given that due notice of the ordination will be offered. It Is agreed I that Bishop Potler's wisdom, spirit of 'fair dealing and appreciation of the dig. nlty of his high office will forbid that ihe should have recourse to anything jthat might be considered as savoring of 1 subterfuge.
