Trenton y. j.. Jan. 30.-President-
elect Wilson permitted himself TO be
questioned at great length by the
correspondents today about the make
up Of his cabinet and seemingly en-
joyed the efforts that were made to
secure information from him. The
governor, however carefully avoided
any disclosures Asked whether any
names other than that of william
Jennings Bryan had been suggested
for the secretary of state. Mr.. Wilson
said
"About onc.half dozen"
To the inquiry as TO who these men
might be, Mr.. Wilson reflected for
moment, but replied that he could not
recall onhand because some of these
individuals were grouped under lists
OF names suggested for other port
folios as well.
one Of the correspondents asked
Mr.. Wilson II he intended to appoint
To- his cabinet men OF practical eN-
porience in public affairs or profes-
sional men who had not been In poli-
tics.
Both sort are under consideration,
he answered and then added with a
laugh: but l am certainly not go
ing to make up my cabinet of college
presidents
The governor said he had decided
10 follow the usual course and get
acceptances before announcing his
,abinet. He was asked whether he
would make public the acceptanees as
they came to him.
NO" ne replied. because I'm
really trying TO make up a team lie
intimated that a possible declination
of single portfolio might make Il
necessary to redistrbute the entire
cabinet.
Except for the visit of Representa-
tive Garter Glass. chairman Of the
house subcommittee on banking and
currency, the governor devoted the
day to New Jersey business. Mr. Glass
gave Mr.. Wilson an account Of the
progress of the public hearings be-
fore the banking ana currency com
mittee.
Mr.. Glass pleased me- said the
governor. "by telling me that the at
titude of the big bankers who appear
ed before the committee was an atti-
tude Of friendly cooperation" While
talking about banking reforms, the
president elect remarked casually:
when | said in my speech at Chi
cago, that the banking system of the
country stood convicted. | thought ]
was saying what everybody had said
before. Sometimes ones common
places startle the country"
Mr. Glass declared after his con-
ference with the governor that the
new monetary bills would be ready for
introduction at the extra session OF
congress. He added that he did not
know vet when the hearings would
close sIut that he had arranged today
for Sir Edmund walker, head of the
Bank of Montreal, Canada, to appear
before the committee on March lSth.
Reports of the organization Of inc
Illinois legislature with the election

elect Wilson greatly today IhaN

correspondents inquired about the
report that recognition by minority
patronage had been promised to pro-
gressives who held the balance ef
power in the Illinois legislature, II
they supported democrats for Unitad
States senator.

ises of patronage to anybcd",' an
