Hot Springs, Va, Nov 27.- Frank IT,. Hitchcock has been offered and has accepted the position of postmaster general in the Taft cabinet that Is to be.
 The official announcement of this the first cabinet selection of President-ele / Taft doubtless will not be made until Mir Taft has completed his cabinet when 1t will be announced en bloc. Because of this view of the situation no expression regarding the selection of Mir Hitchcock was obtainable for publication from either MT, Taft or the republican national chairman. There were many reasons 1t was pointed out, why it was expedient that Alr. Hitch cocks status should be fixed, at least SO far as the principals are concerned, and q complete understanding Is known tu exist between them, As chairman oI the republican national committee, Mr Hitchcock became more familiar than anS other person with the political phase of questions likely to arise at the beginning of the Taft admlnistra- ton.

 the nye-men match it was due to his
