Story that Purports to Show Nebras. kan Expects to Be Secretary
 of State.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Civilian J. Bryans most intimate friends do not believe that he has been offered a place in PresiGent-elect Wilson's Cabinet, but they are confident that he will be rendered the position of Secretary of States.
 Some time ago one of Mir. Bryan's loyal supporters went to him for his support or indorsement for q foreign appointment. Mir. Bryan told him, so the story goes, that he was not able to help him then, but later might be. Mir. Bryan is represented as saying that he would be in a position to absolutely dictate all foreign ap- pointments" or he would not have anything whatever to do with them" This is interpreted to mean that MT Bryan expects to be offered the po- sition of Secretary of State and that he will accept under certain conditions made by himself.
 There is considerable talk among members because so few leading Dem ocratic Congressmen have been invit- ed to New Jersey for conference.
