dont-elect Wilson tonight made II
clear that nobody Ia the United states
knew as yet who was going 90 Do IN
his cabinet. or what would be the
program he would suggest for the
next congress. lie declared that he
had not offered "a single cabinet port
folio 20 anyone thus far and as yet
had reached no conclusions as 10
plans for the extra session. Mr.. VIII
son stated that while he had can
Vnsscd variety Of subjects and had
talked over many names with demo-
cratic leaders. he had not given a
definite intimation Ia any direction
as 10 what his selections OF his course
with respect 10 legislation would be.
He Indicated. however, that he eN-
pccted the extra session would not be
devoted exclusively to tariff-makihs
and said he would specify IN special
message some of the subjects upon
which he would like legislation en-
acted. The president elect admitted
he was finding the task Of cabinet
making very difficult He said he
would delay any announcements un-
til he could name his entire cabinet
II don't like 60 make scattered an
nouncements" he said, and It may
be that I will not announce the cabi-
net until the last minute. Sometimes
/ hear something about man whom
I had not considered that makes me
prick up my ears and want to know
more about him. The field of choice
s widening constantly
II was suggested 10 Mr. Wilson
that n he delayed his announcements
until the last minute some of the men
chosen might find themselves emhar-
rnssed for time in Winding up their
business affairs
"Oh. ! probably shall choose men
who are footloose.' said the govern
or. "and then even If they should
need time 10 wind up their affairs
they could be sworn in on March ith
and spend a little time on it after
that"
lie indicated that he intended 70
occupy as much of his time as pos
sible between now and March 4th in
canvassing the field from which he
will pick "a cabinet He said his mind
still was open and that as soon as he
reached decisions as 20 the men he
wished he probably would make all
the offers simultaneously The pres
ident-eect was asked if he intended
10 deliver his inaugural address ex
tcmporaneousiy
II think I'll prepare the inaugural
address, he said. "as those addresses
are more like documents than
speeches"
The only speech the governor has
prepared in advance since his nomi-
nation at Baltimore was his speech Of
acceptance. as he does not read
speeches
With respect to appointments IN
the foreign service Mr.. Wilson let It
be known that he had not given them
definite consideration. He had been
shown newspaper dispatch concern
ing the appointment of a new am
bassador to Mexico.
II haven't any more idea who is
going To be ambassador To Mexico
than have as to who viii be the first
man I'll greet when | reach Wash
ington," he said.
1t is known also that Mr.. Wilson
has not considered whom he will ap-
point as ambassador to Great Britain.
The governor was asked if he had
read President Tafts speeches in
New York
u only saw the headlines. was the
reply
Mr.. Wilson spent the day at home
with his family.
