this position, and it will be done. MI.
Roosevelt is in the city today and his
nomination will go to the Senate
promptly.
Mr.. Roosevelt was for a long time a
! senator In the New York legislature and
was largely responsible for the defeat OF
Billy Sheehan for United States senator
Is highly regarded by Mr.. O'Gorman.

secretary of the navy under Mckinley
in 1897. He was holding that position

rapid rise In politics. The same year he
was nominated and elected Governor OF
New York.
"Plain Bill'' Sulzer Not in It.
| The tip has gone around in New York
political circles that ''Piain Bill Sulzer
will have mighty little to do with New
York patronage. The governor, 1t is
said, expressed at recent conference of
New Workers here an intention to have
something to say about patronage. but
was given to understand that he had bet

OF the patronage game here. If it comes
TO an issue between him and Senator

No Relatives to Be Named.
President Wilson has announced that he
does not propose to appoint any of his
relatives to Office, but an important west
ern delegation today undertook to change
his mind 80 far as it applies to Capt.
Alfred Wilson of Seattle, a second cousin
of the President. Capt. wilson's friends
want him to go to the Philippines as a
member of the Philippine commission to
MI vacancy there. They went to Sec
rotary Garrison of the War Department.
who advised them of the ultmatum of
the President as to relatives. but said
that IL the President could be induced to
change his mind he would be willing to
make the nomination. The delegation
today took the matter up with the Presi-
I dent, who did not commit himself in any
manner.
The delegation consisted of about a
dozen prominent western democrats,
headed by John Patterson national COM
mitteeman Of Washington; John Wilson,
national committeeman of Hawaii: z. r.
Cheney, national committeeman OF
Alaska: III. c. Todd. state chairman OF
Washington. and Charles G. Heifner for
state chairman of Wachinrfnn
Brandeis to Be Cared For.
Louis D. Brandeis Of Boston. who is in
Washington today, states that he is not
expecting any appointment under the
Wilson administration. His present trip
to Washington, he said. is on purely
professional business before the inter-
state commerce commission, which is to-
day considering some coal cases in which
Mr.. Brandefs is interested. The rumOr
has been started, in connection with the
resignation of Solicitor Gen. Bullitt. that
Mr.. Brandes will be appointed to succeed
him. Friends of the Boston lawyer in the
National Capital do not believe that Mr..
Brandeis would care to accept this offer
even If it were offered to him.
A much more credible rumor is to the
effect that President Wilson will ap-
point Mr.. Brandeis as chairman of the
commission on Industrial relations. Pres-
dent Taft's appointees, it will be remem-
bered were not satisfactory to the MEM,
bers of the New York committee on in
dustrial relations, and their opposition
succeeded In defeating the nomination by,
the Senate. The task of appointing this
commission, therefore. fails to Wilson.
The most important executive job on.
the commission is that of secretary. an:
office which was held on the Industrial
commission of 1900 by f. Dana Durand,
now director of the census. The men,
bers of the commission, so-called. serve.
in an advisory capacity, and receive no
regular salary. 1t is believed that Mr..
Brandeis would accept such a position
were 1t offered him, inasmuch as it would
not interfere with his present work.
Hard Work at White House.
The flood of correspondence reaching
the White House has increased at such
bounds that both President Wilson and
Secretary Tumulty were today forced to
call halt on the engagement list, de-
clining to make appointments for visits
before IL o'clock SO that they could find
a few minutes to catch up with dictation.
The IL o'clock rule Will be In force for
some time, it is said; at. least until Con-
gress reassembles. Neither could do much
this morning, though, toward correspond
ence as Secretaries Burleson, Garrison
and Lane called to confer with Mr.. Will
son, and other callers arrived without en-
gagements, whom 1t was necessary to ad-
NIT to the President.
The Presidents routine last week was
such that he had no time for corre-
spondence unless he worked at night
which he does not wish to do. At
8 o'clock in the morning he began see
ing visitors. and he continued this right
along until o'clock in the afternoon.
except for short intermission at lunch
con, when he knocked off for the day.
When Congress meets it win be almost
essential to give the morning hours to
visitors, especially congressional callers,
who must be at the Capitol at noon.
