Therein much speculation among the Catholic clergy of the Hartford diocese, and considerable suspense among Nor- walk Catholics. as to whom Bishop Tier- ney will choose for the pastorate of St. Patrick’s church in Hartford, as well as what other changes are likely to be made. The opinion seems to prevail. especially among the clergyman of the diocese, that Rev. W. J. Slocum, pastor of St. Hary’s church . will be allected, al- though it has heretofore been supposed that he was permanently located in Nor- ' walk. These reports have been in cir- culation since the death of West- GeneralHurhes. As was stated in has 8mm, Monday, one report was that the choice for the pastorate of the Hart ford church lay between Vicar General Hulcshey. of Waterbury. and Father Slocum. Yesterday,however. the report gained credence that the bishop desired to be in closer touch with the vicar gen- oral and would appoint him to the pas. tents of St. Patrick's church, Hartford. it being only a short distance from the cathedral. Father Slocum was named as Father Mulcahey’s successor at Wat- hury. The Bridgeport Evening Post of yesterday said that it was authoritatively ' stated that such was the case. A EENTINEL reporter called upon Father Slocum, last evening, at the parocth residence. and the popular and eloquent pastor of St. Mary’s talked free- ly about the various reports in circula- thn. “In the first place," Father Slocum said, “I hardly believe that the change has been made. or Father Hul- cahey would have announced it to his people.” He said he had received no notification of removal, and those things were always announced first to the con- gregation from the pulpit. before any outside information was furnished. The Post further stated that Rev. Walter Shanley, at present a rector of the cathedral in Hartford. would succeed Father Slocum at Norwalk. This. Father Slocum pronounced as hardly possible, as St. lfsry’s parish is one of alimiterl number in the diocese to begained only by a competitive ex- amination. The further report that a new parish was to be created at South Norwaik, he said, was not true at pre- sent, though in time that would come. This new parish, the Post said, was to be given to Father Crowley, of East Bridge- port. This was also denied by Father Slocum, seFather Crowley is not the lextesriataut in the line of promotionv The whole story. be sold, came from a Bridgeport clergyman. as he could see his "ear- marka” between the lines of the article. Father Slocum told the reporter that the ‘ same story came to him from Bridgeport yesterday morning, and probably come from the same source as the rule‘s. . The reporter then inquired as to the real situation of the case. which wasexplaiued as follows: "St. Mary's parish is regarded as a permanent one, therebeiog nine of them in this stats. Whenl came here it was understood .thatlcsms here permanently. If the bishop offered a better appointment, as he did last May. 1 could accept or refuse.
