More complete returns from the city cleo

first reports that the Democrats have made
substantial gains in all but about two cities
where political contests were made. In sew

the case in Mexico. Columbia, Paris, Fay

number of these cities not a single Re-
publican was elected to any municipal Of

Maryville and Springfield are about the
only two cities where the Republicans seem
TO have gained anything. They lost at JEFF

Washington, Dec. Ex-Governor Les
lie NJ. Shaw of Iowa is expected to be-
come Secretary of the Treasury. 1t
was officially announced at the White
House today that Governor Crane OF
Massachusetts had declined the APP
pointment for family and business rea-
sons. The President and Senator
Lodge were in conference on the sub
ject, and Senator hodge, after a talk
over the long distance telephone with
Governor Crane, made the announce
ment that Crane would not be Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
Soon after word was out that Gov
ernor Shaw OF Iowa was being con-
sidered. and that the office would be
rendered to him. Word came from
New York tonight that certain bankers
had been consulted, and that they ad-
mitted that Shaw had been asked to
serve. Governor Shaw's term as Gov
ernor of Iowa ends this month.
Governor Cranes connection with
paper manufacturing business was
such that he could not dispose Of his
interests in the time given by the
President, and he also felt that the
people of Massachusetts,, who have just
! elected him for another term, were en-
titled to his services. A note given
out by Governor Crane in Boston gives
Illness in his family as another rea-
son for declining to accept the Treas
ury portfolio.

Shaw left for the East tonight. Seen
as the train pulled out, he said: 81

The Governor declined to state hi

stood here that Governor Shaw ha
been determined upon for the Treasur!
portfolio, but the impression prevail
