Princeton, N.

To put an end, if possible to all gossip about cabinet appointments he issued the following statement:
 SpeouIations Are FruitIess.
 Such speculations are perfectly fruitless I mean to keep my mind en- tirely open with regard to appoint ments of the first consequence until final announcement is possible. It will be perfectly useless to resort to me for corroboration of any report be- cause l shall have absolutely nothing to announce. No announcement will have the least authority that is not made over my own signature. These are matters which must be determin- ed by very deliberate counsel and not by gossip"
 A Period of Listening.
 The president elect stated tonight that he considered the time between his selection and his inauguration a period in which he should listen very carefully to the ideas of men en- frightened and informed on national questions and that it was "a public duty" for him to do so.
 Anxious For a Vacation.

THE BULL MOOSE CLAIM
Exploded by Reference to the Law and
 Precedents.

Washington, Nov. Settlements by progressive party leaders that they will expect repI esentation on non-par- tlsan government boards, committees, etc, has led to an examination here of the laws and precedents bearing on such appointments. This shows, it is declared, that the lawmakers, in ere ating non partisan boards and com missions, made no provision for the selection of members from minority parties. Consequently the general rule has been merely to prohibit more than a majority of the members of these boards and commissions being select ed from one party, nothing being said from what party or ~arties the minor ity shall be chosen. In accordance with this President Wilson would be legally free in most cases to select minority members from any of the minority parties
