WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2S.-There is
considerable speculation BY politicians
and o.he-s outside OF tho administra-
tion as to the successor to Secretary
Gresham. Prominent among tho names
mentioned in this connection are those
of Attorney General Olney, Mr.. Uhl,
the present assistant secretary OF state,
Senator Gray. of Delaware, Ambassa-
dors Bnyard and Eus,is. ex-Secrctary
Whitney and eS-Postmaster General
Dickinson. All the proceedings are,
however, speculative, as the subject has
not been mentioned. much less discuss
ed by tho President or anyone in his
confidence. The President has thirty
days under the law in which to make
his selection and those who know him
best believe that no appointment will
be made without great deliberation. All
things considered, it is thought that
choice will not be definitely determined
upon for some time,
