It is understood that President. Coolidge has offered the appoint- ment to General McCoy, though it is not known whether the Gen- eral will accept. It is known that he is reluctant to abandon his army career. He is, however, eligible for retirement; and could" be recalled to active service in the event of war.
General McCoy, it is understood, has the hearty indorsement of General Emilio Aguinado, presi- dent of the Philippine veterans of the revolutions and of many other well-known Filipinos who have privately recommended him to Pre- sident Coolidge but who have re- quested that their names be with- held.
Opposed by Quezon.
His appointment is opposed by Manuel Quezon, president of the senate, and ather leaders in the legislative, beenuse of his close association with the late Governor General Wood. It is understood that his wide. experience in the Philippines and his acquaintance with the Wood" progrutame have been the principal facters in the president's decision to offer him the appointment.
General McCoy is well-known and ardently admired in the Philippine islands. He served in Cuba and the Philippines, coni- manding the Datu Ali expedition here in the early days. He was aide-de-camp to General Wood in both Cuba and the Philippines. He was also aide to Taft when the latter was provisional Governor of Cuba during the second interven- tion.
During the Mexican border trouble General McCoy command- ed the cavalry patrol and in 1917. was made military attache to Mexi- co. In the World War the general' served with the general staff and was in charge of the Army Trans-
