Rainbridee Colby, of New York, who was one of ' the Ic.-uler In tl,o p.i , '"'- eoor; Rotua" Robert I ansing as secretary of state. Auuouucement of his selection by President Wilson was made toda7 fat the White House. The selection of Mr. Colby came V a surprise, most officials assuming tht- Frank L. Polk, acting secretary, would v family came when Mr. Colby visited the White House early today In company with Raymond T. Raker, director of ' tlie tnint. Mr. Colbi was taken to see the Pres--ideut on the south lawn and a few minutes later the formal announcement of his selection was made. His nomi nation is expected' to be tent to the' Senate within a day or two. On leaving the White House, Mr. Colhv said : "I had u long and uuhurricd con ference with the President, which im pressed me w ith the great confidence he lias reposed in me. I hope I shall not. prove inadequate to these great duties." Mr. Colby suid that, pending con sideration of his nomination by the Suiatc. be did not desire to make a further statement. Aft"r Mr. Colby has taken office. Mr. Polk, who bus been secretary ad In terim since the resignation of Mr. Luosiug, oearly two weeks ago, Is cx i pected to carry out bis intention of re-1 ' tiring from the State Department. Mr. Polk's health has not been nt ull good for more thun a car and his physi cians have udiised him to take a long rest. Should Mr. Polk retire, two Im portant posts In tho Sttt'o Department would be left ncaut. that of under--icrctnr. to which Mr. Polk was ad anced some mouths ago. and of assis tant sporetary. The latter place was held by William Phillips, tho newly appointrd tniuister to the Netherlands 1 -inc! Luxemburg. ps of Mr. Colby's selection sss reei i vi d with unconcealed surprise i among both Democrats and Republicans 'in the Senate, which will be called upon to confirm his nomination. None of 'them, however, cared to venture any public expression on the subject of coa- tirmutiou. When Mr. Colbj was nominated in 1 1017 for membership on the shipping 'board, his ontirmution was accepted 'only after a prolonged fight. The com merce committee voted by a majority of one to report the nomination favorably, ir being understood at tho time Senator Reid. Democrat, Missouri, voted in th negative and that Senutor Johnson, Re publican. California, broke the tie. At that time Mr. Colby's activities in the Progressive party, where he had been associated with Senator Johnson ' und other Republican senators, still were fresh in the minds of the Senate ' members. i Whi'u the nomination came to the Senate lloor. Seuators AYadsworth and I (alder, of New York, the nomlnee'h I home state, were understood to hire opposed confirmation and to hive been supported ou the roll call by roost-of the Republicans. Again as in the com mittee, the Progressive clement vaa, suid to havo turned the tide, however, Seuators Johnson. Krnon, Republican, Iowa, aud others joining with the Dcinocmts. Neither Senator Calder nor Senator Wadaworth would u today what stand he might take towurd confirmation of Mr. Colbv as secretary of state. Possibilities that the peace treaty light might have a bearing on the COO' Urination developed from the fact that Mr. Colby, in recent speeches for the League of Nations, has been quoted as sharply critlcUlng some senators, pr- ticulurlj those irrecoucimuiy opposing ratification On till sides It was atipiirent, how ctcr. that sentiment still was to be crjstallized and thut the Senate probf ably would await uctuul submission of I tlie nomination In fore there was aw IvnUmi! ou t'uie btrtaU .
