WASHINGTON, November 5th.
The War Department announced to-day that Coveraar-General Wood of the Philippines would return to Washington in January for a conference with Presi dent Coolidge. There was no bint of the Governor-General's resignation in the announcement,
Coincident with the "onfirmation of Governor Wood's early return, however, Army, Navy and business circles are buzz ing with speculation as to the next Gover nor of the Philippines. It is generally conceded that the roport of Colonel Thompson will have an important affect on the White House in choosing Gorer nor Wood's auccessor..
Ex Governor Cameron Forbes and Colonel Thompson are the two Bas most frequently mentioned to-day as possibilities.
Following the announcement of Gove nor Wood's return, the United Press was informed on high authority that President Coolidge would seek a man possessing personal prestige in the Philippines and one who enjoys the confidence of Ameri- can capital.
All the steamers coming East between' now and Christmas are fully booked up, there being many passengers for other ports in F.M.S. and up North, apart trom those for this part.
