WASHINGTON Zee. o7.-Arthur L Vorys Will
remain in charge of Secretary Tafts PresIden-

be attributed to lack of more accurate poliu-
cal gossip.
When Mr. Taft went TO Cincinnati recently he
found that despite the various stories which
had been told regarding Mr.. Vorys's manage
nlent he had the Ohio situation thoroughly IN
hand. with excellent prospects in every quarter.
The Secretary is not the man to throw over
hoard a man who has served him faithfully and
ably. and he told Mr.. Norys to go ahead along
the lines he had mapped out and that nothing
would occur to disturb him.
Mr. Vorys himself suggested the advisabiity
of establishing political headquarters IN WASH

Mr. Taft told him he would take the matter
under consideration. but that in the event thaI
he adopted the idea 1t would be with the uilder-
standing that such headquarters in the natlohai
capital would be an adjunct to the main mead
quarters at Columbus. Ohio. where Mr. Norys
will lie in full command

on the London bullion market to-day on the ap-

was rife whether this fact implied a real i'm

There will be $5ooo,o0o in gold available in the
bullion market Monday, which the Bank of
England Is expected to obtain. and a generally
favorable Interpretation is placed on the slack

abilities favor a very large addition to the re-
