Governor of Puerto Rico Hunt would like to be considered for the vacancy on the United States Court of Claims in Washington, D.C. He would also accept District Judge for Montana with the expectation that there would be a vacancy at the United States Circuit Court within a year or two. Hunt suggests that the embarrassments of selecting a new governor of Puerto Rico could be avoided by appointing Judge Henry C. Ide whose fitness and experience would be acknowledged by everyone. Appointing someone from outside Puerto Rico would create some disappointment but no one would be disgruntled. Hunt is interested in the annexation of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and directs President Roosevelt to read Ulysses S. Grant’s arguments in favor of annexation.
