While the discussion at the conference took a wide range, it can be said authori tatively that few names of possible appointees were considered. It was the concensus of opinion among Secretary Taft's advisers, that the selection of q chairman should be postponed, at least for a time, in order that so momentous a matter might receive thorough con- sideration.
