WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. - Five
members OF President-elect wilson's
cabinet are definitely selected and
two men to whom places have been
offered have declined them.
Those who declined were Represen-
tatiye A. Mitchell Palmer. who refus-
ed TO be secretary of war on the
ground that he is Quaker and Mayor
Newton ID. Baker, Of Cleveland. O.,
who refused because he said he want
ed to stay in Cleveland and work out
progressive reforms under way there
IL is believed Palmer would have
accepted the attorney generalship or
the secretaryship Of the treasury. but
neither Of these posts was offered
him. While his religious scruples are
accepted as partially responsible for
his declination of the war portfolio.
II is thought he also believes his
chances for political advancement
would be better by staying in the
house, where he occupies an inhuen-
tial position.
