Although it is commonly known that President Roosevelt intends ex-Senator Louis E. McComas to succeed M. F. Morris on the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, this announcement has caused consternation from Morris, who does not intend to retire yet. Attorney General William H. Moody made the announcement based on the idea that Morris had written Roosevelt a letter stating his intention to retire, but Morris asserts that he had not written any such letter, and has not given any indication that he will retire.
