settled on Saturday night Two members Of
the Cabinet have been decided upon and only
two Mr. Bayard was the first called and
Mr.. Garland the second The confirmation
of the report in regard to Mr.. Garland was
not received here until late tonight, but
when it did come it was in such form as to
leave no room for doubt

was to urge the claims of Allen g. Thurman

attentively, but gave no indication as to what
his own views weren
Mr. Hurd crossed his egs, leaned back, and
added in reflective way, talking half to
