TO warrant the announcement that he will
not be in the cabinet His name must
now be erased from the cabinet slate.
The withdrawal OF Judge Con- brings up
for reconsideration by the president-etect
the whole question of who shall represent
the south in the cabinet. II is safe TO
say his mind is not made UP on this sub
jet and that he would be greatly re-
lieved if Judge Golf, even at this late
day, could be induced 10 alter his decis-
ion, which. it may be stated, is not ex-
pressed in absolutely final terms.
Canton, O., Feb. 6.-The best informa-
ton is that Mr.. Golf will not be in the
cabinet; that he has arrived at this con-
clusion for persona. reasons after two
weeks consideration, and that the presi-
dent-elect is considering other names.
The arrival Of Congressman Francis G.
Wilson OF Brooklyn today and his confer
ence with Major Mckinley immediately
on the return OF the president-elect from
GAINESVILLE. where he went 10 meet his
wife, coming home from Chicago, leads
TO renewed talk of Wilson for cabinet
position. But the name of ColOnei j. j.
McCook of New York is now considered
most probable for attorney general.
