President Roosevelt informs Yale University President Hadley that after consulting Commissioner of Corporations Herbert Knox Smith, he thinks it best not to appoint John K. Beach as judge of the 2nd Circuit Court. While Smith agrees with Hadley that Beach is a better candidate overall, the senators do not recommend him, and it would be in poor form to act contrary to them in this matter.
