Adoo. the democratic incumbent, to ar

to remain on duty with him for at least

together in Congress, and are good friends.
Today's gossip names Mr.. Van Cott on
New York as Assistant Secretary McAdoo' S
most probable successor. He has the
support of Senator Platt and the party
leaders of the empire state. Although the
appointment rests with the President it
is understood that he has informed Sec
retary Long that he will be guided alto
gether by his personal wishes in the mat
