Now that Francis E. Hamilton is no longer serving as counsel to the Collector at New York, Herbert Parsons would like to know who will replace him. Collector Edward S. Fowler has spoken to Newell Lyon, a young lawyer, as if Lyon is his personal choice to take up the position. Parsons tells William Loeb that Lyon is thorough and supports Secretary of War Wililam H. Taft.
