moving their white wings.
following the precedent laid down by
George B. Cortelyou and Charles D.
Hilles.
The greatest interest is now being
disclosed in the man who is to be At
torney General Up to the present
time three names have been promin-
emily mentioned those of Louis Bran
deis of Boston, Senator O'Gorman of
New York and Judge Westcott of
New Jersey, who placed Gov. Wilson
in nomination at Baltimore and who
retired from the race for United
States Senator, giving Place to Will
liam Hughes.
But then the Democrats of New
Jersey are already planning to NOM
mate Judge Westcott for Governor
next fall, and should these plans get
under greater Roadway by March
next, when President Wilson is to be
inaugurated, friends. of Judge West
colt propose to urge him to remain
as their candidate for Governor.
O'Gorman IL Shy.
Senator O'Gorman said in Washing
ton several days ago when the SUBJ
ject of the y-Generalship was
preached to him that he preferred to
remain in the Senate. However, SEN
ator O'Gorman's friends remarked
yesterday that were he to be drafted
by President Wilson he would obey
the call.
Second to the interest in the man
who is to be Attorney-G General is the
feeling that President Wilson should
select the right man for Secretary of
the Treasury. While several names
have been mentioned for this highly
important post that of Fred E.
Lynch seems to be in the man at the
moment.
However, friends Of Charles j.
Hamlin, William L. Douglas, Gov.
Foss and George Fred Williams con-
slider them in line for Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr. Hamlin was Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury under Chas.
S. Fairchild of President Cleveland's
Cabinet. There has been some ques-
ton as to the loyalty of George Fred
Williams during the recent campaign
Mr.. Willams's friends said yester-
day that while it was true that he OPP
posed the nomination of Gov. Wilson
for president he did so in the interest
of his own candidate, Gov. Boss, and
while there were reports during the
campaign that Mr.. Williams thought
seriously of going over to Roosevelt
he never quite overstepped the line
and remained a Democrat Mr..
Douglas was formerly Governor of
Massachusetts,.
New York State Democrats are to
put in various bids for Federal pat
ronage. Brooklyn, under the leader
ship of John H. McCooey, has already
prepared its slate.
A Slate Is Ready
1t is as follows:
For Naval Officer, Patrick H. Quinn
for postmaster of Brooklyn, Freder-
lex Lundy; for United States District
Attorney, A. L. Nova, Robert H. Roy
or Henry P. Malloy; for United States
Marshall ]. Morrisey Gray; for Inter
nal Revenue Collector, Michael Z.
Butler or Matthew E. Dooley.
Every man on the list has been an
officeholder with the exception of Mr..
Butler. The Brooklyn organization is
depending much upon the influence of
Senator O'Gorman and Representative
John j. Fitzgerald to help them secure
these appointments.
Many Would-be Collectors
There are a dozen candidates for
Collector of the Port, for Surveyor of
the Port and for Appraiser Of the Port
as well as for United States District
Attorney in New York county and for
Internal Revenue collectors. All the
aspirants are now busy framing their
petitions. Many Democratic State
Senators have been requested to sign
petition to President-elect Wilson
requesting that Lieut.. Gov. Conway,
who retires from Office on January /,
be given place in the Cabinet.
