SUBJECTED To ONLY SLIGHT
REPRlMAND BY TAFT.

fused to say what recommendation he

pert whose resignation from the serv-
ice was recommended by the personnel
board of the department and by At
torncy General Wickersham.
Mr.. Wilson reached the White House
some time before the cabinet meeting
and had an opportunity to discuss the
Wiley case with the president before
the session began. He said he did not
know whether his recommendation
would be acceptable to the presiden,
or not.
He declared, however, that there
could be no clash between him and Mr.
made today were not agreeable to the
president he could change them. II
was inferred from the TENOR OF Mr..
Wilson'S remark that the recommends
tions were not favorable to Mr.. Wiley
There Is every reason to believe that
DIR. Wiley. at the worst, will receive
but mild reprimand.
At the conclusion of the cabinet
meeting. several members said tn,
Wiley case mad not been discussed
but added that the president haf
talked 1t over with Secretary Wilson
