NOVEMBER 12. 1924. SEVERAL NEW FACES MAY BE SEEN IN COOLIDGE CABINET; HOOVER MAY LEAVE Washington, Nov. 12.—With su premacy of the upper and houses of congress no longer in doubt, the chief topic in political circles in the capital relates to the changes President Coolidge will make in his cabinet. It is settled that there will be at least three, and possibly four new faces seen in the cabinet room within a short time. William M. Butler, the pres ident’s campaign manager! is to get a seat, and so, also/will C. Bascom Slemp, the president’s , secretary, it is learned on relia ble authority. The post of secretary of agri culture, made vacant by the death of Henry C. Wallace, is also to be filled, but '’neither of the above named gentlemen will be given it. Hoover May Quit. It is likely that., the cabinet post Mr. Butler will get i§ the secretaryship of commerce. Mr. Hoover, it is believed, has had enough of his job, which never did attain the proportions it was ex pected to reach when he accepted it. When Harding went in as pres ident it was suggested that the railroads and shipping boaid would both be added to the de partment of commerce, which would have lifted it into impor tance second only to the depart ment of state. Lewis Mentioned. Presidential Secretary Slemp is slated to become postmaster-gen eral. This can be taken to mean that Mr. Coolidge means to try it again in 1928, for it is history that the postmaster general does the preliminary campaigning through his vast p.atronage. Harry New will, it is assumed, be quite willing to retire, but per haps not so soon, as he has in mind taking the Indiana senator ship away fom Jim Watson, Jbo whose machinations he attributes the costing of the republican nomination to Beveridge two years ago, and it was the persis tence of the New-Watson feud that brought the democrat, Ral ston, to the senate.

Wilbur, Mr. Wil bur’s unfortunate (for him) speech making tours, which caus ed his recall to Wishington, is expected to cause him to be ab sent for cabinet meetings next year. Then too, there is a feeling that the present serious condition of the American navy calls for a more forward man than the pres ent secretary. Youg Theodore is considered the better man for the post.
