Montana's Governor is Look

President Elect.
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
Senator Henry L. Myers of
Montana, Was Caller on
Governor Yesterday.

Trenton, n. j., Jan. s. President
Elect Wilson broke his policy of silence
about the names suggested to him for
the cabinet for the first time. Hereto
fore he has refused to give the slight
est intimation as to how the many
names proposed struck him, and he has
followed this policy not only with re-
porters, but with the public men with
whom he has conferred. He has sought
their opinions, but has never given
them his own
The candidate in whose favor he
broke his custom was Governor Edwin
R.. Norris of Montana. in whose behalf
Senator Henry L. Myers of that state
came to see him. Senator Myers
brought with him many Endorsements
from organizations and individuals In
the northwest. After the senator had
departed Governor Wilson said to the
reporters:
Senator Myers came to ask me to
appoint Governor Norris secretary OF
the interior. | know Mr.. Norris, hav-
ing met hin at two of the governors
conferences, and he made a deep i'm
preston on me. He is a fine, clean cut
man, full of vigor-impressive, aggres-
sive and red haired and, I should say,
about forty-five years Did. He Is a fine
type of the right kind of public official"
Governor Wilson's manner when he
spoke of Governor Norris was animated
and enthusiastic, and he seemed 70
take pleasure In praising him.

Pujo Threatens Force.

Washington. Jan. IA threat that
force will be used if necessary to com
pei the attendance of William Rookie
Teller on the so called money trust COM
mittee of the house is contained in a
statement just made public by Repre-
sentative PuJo of Louisiana, chairman
OF h committee. MI. Rockefeller's
presence is desired by the committee,
who insist that he has information In
his possession relative to certain cop
per operations in which he was en-
gagged with the late H. Fl. Rogers.
In his statement Chairman Pujo de-
clared that Mr.. Rockefeller's state OF
health must be determined by the COM
mittee itself and that second hand in
formation on the subject would not be
accepted.
The statement further says:
Counsel for the committee and /
offered to 60 to New York to MI.
Rookefeller's homo or his oface, there
to take his dispositions, with bis II
eel present, at his convenience il his
state OF health was such as to discom-
mode his t~estifying for only a few
minutes time. This offer has not
been accepted"
Mr.. Pujo's statement indicates the
temper Of the house leaders In the
Rockefeller case. Unless the authori-
ties back water there is good reason
to believe that within a few days a
resolution will be offered directing the
issuance Of writ Of attachment against
Mr.. Rockefeller, provided the New
Yorker continues to refuse to accept
service from n Of the army Of depu-
ties now on his trail.
The Rockefeller case presents a legal
problem, however, that is troubling
many of thu lawyers In congress. Some
take the position that Mr.. Rockefeller
by eyading service of the subpoena Is
already In contempt. Others contend
he cannot be held in contempt until
he has refused to comply with the
mandate Of the subpoena.
