That sometime after that date he would have Mr. Drenk appear with him in court, and he would be commissio ed. That Mr. Drenk would be notified when to appear. I wish to state there was no misunderstanding as far as I was concerned as to what Attorney Wild said at any meeting at which I was present.

He did very much hurry our selection of a candidate, back in July, and informed us later that nothing would be done until after August 20. He did not say how much after August 20, whether it would be days, weeks, months or years, but we had hoped it would be within a readon- able time, especially after having been given just about a week to make our selection of a candidate.
