BY relegraph TO The Tribune. !

Trenton. y. j., Feb. 2G.-Former Con-
gresham William c. Redleld, o! Brook
Ign. ii was learned to-day from source
that Is usually authentic, has an excel
lent chance Of becoming member OF the
Wilson Cabinet. While It was not pos
sible TO learn what particular place he Is
under consideration for. il is believed to
be the portfolio OF Commerce.
This is based on the belief that the bill
creating the Department Of Labor Will
become law. thus giving Mr.. Wilson an
additional place 20 ILL., which the Cabinet
guesscr3 have allotted TO Louis V. Bran
de.s OF Boston.
Mr. Redfcd is an expert on the tariff
and is also familiar with conditions in

things which promise to take UP a great

II he cares to take the post. and II Mr.
Redncld is chosen. too. 1t will give New

Those who know the Pres.dontelect
well. however. are OF the opinion that the
geographical questions OF residence are

for his Cabinet there will be number
OF surprises. Indeed, those who have
kept In close touch with the Governor OF
New Jersey expect 10 see at least two
men In hs official family vino have not
heretofore been heard OF In public life.
There may be more.
u would not be surprising even % see
among the list of Cabinet selections the
names Of some men who have been con-
nected with educational institutions and
OF the same temperament as himself. MI.
Wilson has said that he has the names OF
two particular type o; men under con-
sideration for has Cabinet. men VINO nave

have not. and the selection OF some o.
the latter are confidently looked FOR 10
