NEW YORK, Aug. THE Press will
say tomorrow: 1t can be said on au-
thority that Secretary Shaw's call on
President Roosevelt yesterday was to
ask that his resignation as secretary
of the treasury be accepted with the
least possible delay.
Shaw is going out of the cabinet and
has no desire to remain, so his friends
say. a moment longer than will suit
the presidents present plan. This is
the Shaw side of it as learned from a
gentleman who said candidly that the
secretary of the treasury was candi-
date for president and desires to have
a free hand in what he does.
Persons we'll informed in respect Of
the presidents cabinet said last night
that there was no doubt that Roosevelt
determined several months ago to have
a man in place of Shaw and man
who will succeed him has already been
selected.
Shaw's resignation Is to take effect
at the pleasure Of the president but he
is anxious TO have his successor APP
pointed at once.
In the Fifth Avenue hotel last night
an intimate friend of Roosevelt said he
had known for many days past that
the resignation of Shaw was imminent
and had heard several stories as to his
successor.
I-" 90.
One story was 20, the effect that the
new secretary Of the treasury would
be from the northwest. and another.
which he heard in washington last
week. made it appear that Roosevelt
intended to reshape his cabinet and
would take an eastern financier for
secretary of the treasury, giving an
other place in the cabinet to that Sec
tion of the country now represented by
Shaw.
