STONE CHOSEN FOR COURT POST Attorney General Advanced ( To Associate Justice Os Supreme Court Washington, Jan. 6.—Secretary of Navy Wilbur and Solicitor General Beck today appeared to lie Hie outstanding candidates for tIK* post of attorney general, made vacant by the promotion yesterday of Harlan F. Stone to the supreme court tn place of Associate Justice McKenna, re signed. Both men are jurists by profession, Wilbur having been brought to Washington from the chief justiceship of California supreme court and Beck lias a distinguished record as solicitor general. Other names, however, are mentioned at the white house and various considerations may dictate the choice from among them. They are Charles B. Warren, of Detroit, former ambassador to Mexico; Arthur Prentice Rugg, chief justice of the Massachusetts supreme court; Frank Dietrich, federal judge for Idaho; John H. Bartlett, first assistant postmaster general; Wallace McCamant, former associate justice of the supreme court of Oregon and tile man who put President Coolidge in nomination for vice president at (he Chicago convention in 1920. Appointment of Stone to the supreme court came with unusual speed yesterday, only two and a half hours lifter McKenna's resignation was announced by Chief Justice Taft. Stone was summoned to the white house and informed of the president’s int -ntion and a messenger immediately left for the senate with the nomination. , Stone will continue to act as attorney general until the senate judiciary committee, to which the nomin ! ation was referred, reports it tor confrmation. This action is expected very soon, as a courtesy to Stone. if the prospective vacancy in tin attorney generalship is not filled by the time Stone takes his seat on the court, Solicitor General Beck will become acting attorney general to serve until the definite appointment is made.
