PATTERSON TO GET PLACE'
CHANGE TO BE MADE IN AUDI
TORSHIP. Resignation of Hastings Man Is Ac
cepted Many Months After It
Was Tendered to the
Secretary.
Washington. Tho resignation of
William K. Andrews of Hastings, Neb.,
as auditor of tho treasury has been
accepted. Sam Patterson of Arnpa
hoo will bo named as his successor,
according to unofllclal Information.
Formal announcement of Mr. Patter
son's appointment Is expected noon.
Although Mr. Andrews filed his resig
nation with Secretary McAdoo during
tho first days of tho democratic ad
ministration, Its acceptance at this
time came ns a surprise to him. While
ho has been prepared to sever his
connection with tho auditor's nftlcc nt
any moment, no hint came that ho
was to bo replaced except through
unofficial sources within the last few
days.
Sam Patterson had been nn appli
cant for tho nudltorshlp since enrly
In 1013. He hud the endorsement of
Senator Hitchcock nnd tho Nebraska
democratic members of tho house. It
Is stated here that Secretary Bryan
will mnke no objection to tho appoint
ment of Patterson. It Is believed Mint
Representative Shallcnbcrgcr has had
a good deal to do with the naming of
tho Arapnhoe man. It is recalled that
when Mr. Shnllenberger was governor
he wnnted Patterson named ns secre
tary of the stato banking board. It Is
probable therefore, that the patronage
doadlock between Senator Hitchcock
and Secretary Hry.in Is not Invaded In
tho expected settlement of the nudl
torshlp. Mr. Andrews would mako no an
nouncement of his plans. It Is under
stood that for a few months, nt least,
ho will devote himself to rest and
tho enjoyment of a vacntlon. part of
which will bo spent at his Nebraska
homo.

bag on her arm. When she got off the
