ton of his inaugural address tomorrow
With the personnel OF his Cabinet as much
in the dark as ever. so far as any an

these three men had been picked, at least
: tentatively. for important places in the
Cabinet OF the new administration:

for Secretary of the Treasury. but may
he transferred TO the War or Navy De-
partment. Mr. Brandeis. il is asserted

ton TO the above names, It is regarded
as practically certain that If any mem
Der of Congress is selected for Cabi'
net place a. Mitchell Palmer, Of Penn
sylvania, will be the man.

Mr.. McAdoo has forged rapidly TO the
front i'm the last few days as prospec'
tive member Of the Wilson Cabinet al
though the tunnel builder has carefully
refrained from visiting the PRESIDENT
elect either here or at his Princeton home
since election
Mr.. McAdoo has given pressure OF
. business as the reason for not MAKING
the pilgrimage here. and II is suspected
that the pressure" consists IN hXlhs
am his interests in the Hudson Tunnel
companies so that he can resign as
uresident and thus be free TO accept d
Cabinet post
. president-eleCt Wilson has not beer
ont eof communication with Mr.. McAdo'
all this time however, for he has salo

counsel on the regulation of competition
The Boston lawyer has also been spokeI
of for Attorney General. but 1t is prop
able this will be one Of the last places
filed by Mr.. Wilson. as he is anxious

tcrmined stand for Mr.. Wilson's nomina
ton made by its delegates to the Bssl
more convention. Colonel House is
warm personal friend of Mr. Wilson a
