FIVE MENTIONED FOR PHILIPPINES Cummings Among Those Held in Running for Murphy’s Post. @peculation over the Philippine high commissionership stirred insular official circles today as mounting re- turns added to Frank Murphy’s lead n the race for Governor of Michigan. The $18,000-a-year post mill be wacant when Murphy is inaugurated Governor, January 1. Talk as to speculation over his suc- eessor centered about Attorney Gen- eral Homer S. Cummings, J. Weldon Jones, Murphy's financial adviser and present acting high commissioner; Joseph Ralston Hayden, former vice governor; former Senator Harry B. Hawes of Missouri and former Repre- sentative Butler B. Hare of South Carolina, Many Candidates Expected. *“Tt is doubtful that President Roose- welt has devoted much time to the appointment,” said one official. “Mur- phy had & hard fight to carry tradi- tionally Republican Michigan and of- ficials here doubted he could win. There will be a flock of candidates for his place now.” Of those mentioned, all but Cum- mings have had first-hand experience with Philippine affairs. Cummings had been selected by President Roose- velt for Governor General in 1933, but upon the death of Senator Thomas J. ‘Walsh was drafted for the cabinet. Jones and Hayden were put forward as non-political possibilities. Hayden, & member of the University of Mich- lnn faculty, is » Republican, He re- eently was asked to consider heading & prospective new Philippine division in the State Department. ~ Helped Frame Laws. Hawes, now counsel for the Philip- pine Sugar Assoclation, and Hare helped frame the legislation under which the islands last year were launched on their 10-year independ- ence program. Murphy's two-month leave of ab- sence, granted by President Roosevelt, to permit him to meke the Michigan race, expired today, and at the Bureau of Insular Affairs word from him was awaited whether he would ask to have the leave extended or resume the Phil- ippine post temporarily. Jones, meanwhile, retains the status of acting high commissioner given him by President Roosevelt under leg- islation of the last Congress. WILL NOT RETURN DETROIT, November 5 (P).—Frank Murphy, high commissioner from the United States to the Philippines and Governor-elect of Michigan, will not return to the islands before assuming office, he announced yesterday. A lack of time will prevent the trip, he said. He sald he would . devote the time between now and January 1, winding up his insular affairs, but did not say whether he would ask to have his leave of absence—which expired yesterday— extended, or would reassume his duties temporarily. “I expect to spend a great deal of time in Washington, winding up my administration,” he said. “There are still & great many Philippine matters that must be settled.” —_— ACHIEVEMENT DAY SET BY COUNTY 4-H CLUBS Epectal Dispatch to The Star.
