Washington. April 26.-While there
Is every reason to believe that Secre-
taIy Sherman eontemplates a retire
ment from the cabinet at no very dis
tant date, the indications now are that
the change will not take place immedi-
ately. He declined TO discuss the ques-
ton, indicatin! there was more IN the
newspapers CONCERNING his intentions
than was justified by the facts. There
Ii no doubt. however. that the presi-
dent considers the secretary's retire
ment amcng the probabilities. He dis
cussed the contingency with SOM OF
his callers yesterday. and 1t Is under
stood that Senator Davis was asked
whether in ease there should be a va
cancy i'm the secretaryship of state he
would favorably consider an invitation
to fill ii, and that the senator replied
in the negative. Ii IL also understood
that the Minnesota senator's reason for
taking this position is the fact that he
prefers his present position in the sen
ate. and considering himself reason
ably sure of reelection, has decided to
remain where he is.
