A special from St. Louis says it was reported today that Col. Zach Mulhall, of Mulhall, O. T., would, in all likelihood, be appointed governor of Oklahoma by President Roosevelt.

According to the report that gained currency during the afternoon, and was based upon a letter from a Missourian in Washington, who is known to be well informed, Governor Jenkins' policy is not satisfactory to the president, who is casting about for a successor who will be satisfactory to the people of Oklahoma, and who will at the same time measure up with the president's ideas of what a territorial governor should be. The report further stated that Col. Mulhall had been apprised of the favor with which his name was being considered by the president. Col. Mulhall declines to discuss the matter, but it is understood he is enroute to Washington at the president's request.
