 Washington, D. C.-Speculation as to the makeup of President Elect Wilson's cabinet has been rife since the election. A score or more of men who have been active in the battle for Wilson's nomination and election have been mentioned as possibilities in this connection but there has been little upon which to base predictions.
 The only thing that Is generally agreed upon is that William F. Me- Combs, who is credited with having done more than any other one man to secure Wilson's nomination and election, will have place in the cabi- net if he will take it. It is thoughs that he may be named as either secre- tary of state or attorney general, but it is said that he may decline either place owing to his poor health. Will liam J. Bryan has also been mention- ed in connection with the portfolio of state. as we'll as Senator O'Gor- man of New York
 Cleveland II. Dodge, member of the banking firm of Phelps. Dodge & Co. of New York can have the job of sec retary of the treasury if he wants it, some kind of Progressive propaganda not been active in politics before but was one of McCombs' first associates in the pre-conyention campaign in Wilson's behalf. Dodge has given large sums out of his own pocket to- ward the campaign expenses both be- for" and after the convention.
 William c. MoAdoo of New York is another new politician who is men, toned prominently for cabinet po- sition. McAdoo was one of the orig. inal Wilson men and, as vice chair man of the Democratic national com. mittee, had active charge of the cam paign large part of the time, owing to Chairman McCombs illness. Me Adoo is mentioned both as secretary of the treasury and secretary of war.
 Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, of pure food lame, is regarded as a strong possi- bility in connection with the position of secretary of agriculture.
 Speaker Champ Clark, Oscar Under wood, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the house, Gov ernor Judson Harmon of Ohio, and Governor Foss of Massachusetts are regarded as possibilities but it is not believed that either Clark or Under wood would accept portfolios if of- fefed to them. as they will prefer to remain in congress where they will have wider field of activity.
