Fisher Will Not Appoint Judge This Week —:0:— | | A successor to the late Judge John V. Kosek, of Luzerne County, will not be named by Governor Fisher before next week at the earliest.

Sordoni, Luz- erne County chairman, from Cuba, also is awaited in connection with fill- ing the vacancy. The Luzerne political community has been reconciled for several days to the prospect that there will be fur- ther delay before the appointment of a new judge is forthcoming.

So far as is known the situation remains where it was two or three days ago, with Attorney W. A. Val- entine in the ascendency as a pros- pect for the appointment, but with campaigns still in progress on behalf of Frank L. Pinola, Abram Salsburg, District Attorney Thomas Lewis and others. 0: Treasurer Wall To Enter Legal Suits Against Delinquents —:0:— County Treasurer George M.
