James Cay Corden, Jr., and
Charles Sinkler Considered
Likely for Lecal Frosts
Governer Sproul mny have mid It Is
understood he thinks he will have
two vacauclcs le 1111 en tire bench of
the Courts of Common Pleas In Phila
delphia as the result of the elevation
of Chief .Justice Rebert von Slosch Slesch
silKKcrt of the Supreme Court of Penn

ijiilted States and Mhe subsequent
elevation of President .ludge .T. Willis
Mnrtln, of Court Ne. t", te the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania.
According te reports filtering through
from 1 la rrishurg tednj this Is the rea
son for fhe:deliiy in tilling the vacancy
en the local bench caused by the death
of Judge Jeseph p. Rogers. The Gov Gov
ereor Is hoping mid expecting that
President Harding will appoint Penn
sjIvanln'H.Chlef Justice te the Supreme
Court in-;Wnshlngten. Governer Sproul
Jms a high regard for Judge Slurtin nnd
would be glad of the opportunity te
round out Judge SlnrtlsVs carer en the
bench by nn nnnelntmcnt te the
Supreme Court te fellow up Chief Jus
tice von .Meschzisker.
If the President tclects Chief Jlis Jlis
tlce von Slesehzlskcr, then it Ih mere
than likely, according te the best In
formation, thnt Governer Sproul will
appoint Judgi Slartln te succeed the
Chief Justice. In thut event, of course,
two vacancies would exist en the local
Common Pleas bench.
Favers Gorden and Sinkler
While Ihe Governer has net' finally
made up his mind, se far as iinv nn-
neuncemeiit Is concerned, it is known
thut he is favorably disposed te James
liny Gorden, Jr.. son of former Judge
Gorden, for one of the places, and te
Charles Sinkler for the ether. It would
suiprlse no one If the Governer were
te tinluncc tnc se-called political ap

political selection of Sir. Sinkler. Like
Mr. Gorden. Mr. Sinkler is u member
or tne junior luir of Philadelphia. Sir.
Sinkler saw service under fire for the
lied Cress in France durlnc tie World
War. He Is n member of the. firm of
William & Sinkler, and is well known
socially.
Several significant suggestions as te
candidacies for Spcnker of the Slate
j louse ei icepreentntives came today
from high Pinchot kidcrs. In the first
place, the -.word Was passed out that
it would be unfortunate if anv nttenint
was made te force the new 'Governer
le inherit the factional feuds of the hist
session by insistence en the candidacies
of cither Rebert S. Spnngier. of Yerk,
or of Samuel A. Whltaker. of Che-ter
County, who were tlie central figure in
the unprecedented uiisatin-; of Sir.
Spnnglr in the session of 11)21.
While nothing llnnl was said en (lie
subject. Pinchot leaders discussed with
Interest as available material for
Speaker, such men as Slate Represent
ative Charles F. ItldcUpnchcr and
Wnrrcu CIde Ilnrcr. of William-pert,
Lycoming County, nnd of C. Jnj Good Geod Goed
noiiitli. of Cameren County. It was
nlse intimated that Sir. Goeilnmigli
would be eercptiibh te the Grundy
leaders who hnve been pushing Sir.

Still another Idea was lliat Ibe l'liil.

This became public during the course

"I de net mean that Lloyd Georae

"W lire of the belief th.U Llejil
