Raleigh, Nov. 25—The names of a number of Republicans high in party circles of the state were being mentioned here today in political discussions as to the appointment of a successor to Judge Henry G. Connor of the United States District Court of Eastern North Carolina.
The men whose names have been mentioned most prominently in connection with judgeship include Herbert A. Seawell of Carthage, Col. Isaac M. Meekins of Elizabeth City, Irving B. Tucker of Whiteville, and Major George Butler of Clinton. The name of John J. Parker also has been brought into the discussions, but the fact that he does not reside in the district seems to eliminate him from serious consideration in connection with the judgeship.
Friends of Mr. Seawell point to the fact that he was nominated for the judgeship by President Roosevelt near the close of the latter’s administration in 1909. For some reason the nomination got beyond the senate judiciary committee. Shortly after his inauguration President Taft appointed Judge Connor.
