Of the office CT SECRETARY OF the
Treasury to succeed Secretary
Gage has been made to Gov. Leslie
NJ. Shaw, of Iowa. but it is under
stood that up to this morning no re-
sponse had been received from Coy.
Shaw to the inquiries sent him. At
the White House no information on
the subject is obtainable. pending
a definite authorization OF the fact
that a successor 10 Secretary Gage
has been obtained.
If Gov. Shaw should follow the
lead OF Gov Crane Of Massachu-
salts. and decline the Presidents
offer. it is likely the office will be
te ndered to Myron Il. Herr.ck, Of
Cleveland. Should Gov Shaw &C
ce pit, it is said Secretary Wilson. OF
the Department OF Agriculture,
who is also an Iowa mao, may re-
tire from the Cabinet. 1t is now
thought. however. that there will
not be any haste in supplantIng
Secretary Wilson, as the President
considers him an efficient officer.
