Statement regarding appointments in state of Washington

Walter Eli Clark is concerned about the Puget Sound collectorship.  It has already appeared in northwestern newspapers that the current collector, Frederick Heustis, will be reappointed but President Roosevelt is leaning towards the appointment of Clarence W. Ide.  Clark believes that embarrassment can be avoided if Collector Heustis is informed of the situation and provided with an opportunity to endorse Ide.  This would allow Ide’s appointment and prevent Heustis from being embarrassed before the public.
