The Appointment May be Given Out Today

Governor Jenkins' Hopes Blighted By the Tongue of Slander

The President, it is Alleged, Says that
he Has Been Guilty of Indiscretions,
Though Not Personally Dishonest

Washington, Nov. 26.-
Governor Jenkins learned this morning from the president's own lips the fate that is in store for him. President Roosevelt, in his characteristically frank way, told the governor that the charges against him were of such a nature that he could not re-appoint him. While the president expressed hesitancy in believing that Governor Jenkins had been personally dishonest he said frankly that the governor had been guilty of indiscretions which did not warrant his reappointment.

Governor Jenkins was in conference with the president for more than an hour at which the whole situation was discussed and the conclusion above set forth arrived at.

This morning Colonel Zack Mulhall arrived in the city and went immediately to the White House. As soon as his arrival was announced he was shown into the president's private office and remained for fully two hours. The colonel refused to discuss the nature of his visit tot he White House further than that he called to pay his respects. The new governor will be decided upon tomorrow. It will either be Colonel Mulhall, Horace Speed, Thomas Ferguson, or J. E. Ball, of Guthrie. The president has taken the matter in his own hands and has summoned Mr. Speed, Colonel Mulhall and Secretary Hitchcok for a conference in the afternoon. It appears he is preparing to propose the name of Colonel Mulhall and ask those present to indorse him.
