" FLETGHER T0 QUIT DIPLONATIC LIFE (Continued from First Page) four years. They are more inclined to the belief that he will seek a seat in the senate as he long has Liad a desire to round out his career there, Many candidates are being urged for the post of governor general of | the Philippines, the list including be- side Mr. Fletcher, Silas Chicago; Brig. Gen. Frank McCoy, U. 8. A, and Major General Douglas MacArthur, U. 8. A. President Hoover for the present, at least, is giving little considera- tion to filling the post, to which he sought to appoint William J. Dono- van of New York, former assistant to the attorney general. Eugene A. Gilmore, acting governor, apparently is functioning to the satisfaction of the chief executive and his frignds believe he will be given serious con- sideration when Mr. Hoover decides to name a governor general. The president is not committed against naming a military man for the place vacated by Sccretary Stim- son and it is believed the test he would apply in such cases would e whether an officer! proposed for the appointment were military-minded. Genera] McCoy supervised 'elec- tions last year in Nicaragua and his work in that fleld drew expressions of praise from the leaders of both the conservatives and the liberals who were opponents in the contest. He also has had experience in other similar tasks, Bilas Strawn has had and contacts in the tar east as a member of the American commission to the China conference which sought to work out an agreement on Chinese customs and tariff. Ambassador Fletcher also has seen scrvice in the far east. He speaks Spanish fluently and much of his diplomatic work has been in Latin-America. This was one of the reasons why he was selected for the good will tour of Central and South | America which Mr. Hoover made last year as president-clect.

Fletcher to a new post should he | retire from the ambassadorship at Rome have greatly annoyed Mr. Fletcher, “I am not a candidate for any post,” he said today. “I will re- main in Rome as long as President Hoover thinks fit to keep me here. If any other post should be offered me I should consider it from the point of view of the best interests of Americ: CHRISTIAN SCIENCE INJUNCTION DENIED Gourt Refuses fo Enjoin Direc- fors From “Interlering” Boston, April 24 (P—Judge Loui f.
