BRUMBAUCn MAY name
HIS Cabinet ON FRIDAY
Francis Skunk Brown Thought to Be
Probable Selection For Attorney
General-Bigelow Is Likely to Re-
main at Least Until June

DR.. Martin G.. Brumbaugh, Govern
or-elect, is expected to reach his Phil
adelphia home from Florida, where he
has been resting with his father since
the election, on Friday Of this week,
when he will take up the matter of ap-
pointment of the members of his Of
fetal family and at least give some in
timation of who are to be the principal
officials in his cabinet.
1t is said that DIR. Brumbaugh has
had before him the names of a large
number of men who have been recon-
mended for appointment, but has thus
far given no indication of whom he
proposes to select. The impression
still prevails, however that Francis
Skunk Brown, of Philadelphia, who is
the personal choice of the Ware Broth
ers. will land the Attorney General
ship, but the friends of John S. Rill-
ing, of Erie, former Democratic State
chairman, who was associated with DR..
Brumbangh in the collating of the
school code; Jesse E. B. Cunningham,
of Westmoreland, present Deputy At
torney General, and Judge George s.
Orlady, of Huntington, at present on
the Superior Court bench, are inclined
to believe that one of them will be the
new Governor S choice.
Of the names heard for Secretary of
the Commonwealth, that of the pres
ent Secretary, Robert McAfee, of AL
legheny, is foremost, and it is said
that Mr. McAfee can have the place if
he wants it. He was the leader most
in conducting the campaign in Allie
gheny county which resulted in such
a big majority for Brumbaugh. 1t is
not anticipated that there will be any
immediate change in the Highway De-
partment, as the commission of Com
missioner Bigelow will not expire I'M
til June.
Governor Tener is reported to have
intimated that he will appoint Walter
ii. Gather, his private secretary to the
vacancy in the Public Service Commits
sion, carrying out the custom offormer
Governors of providing a place for the
man closest to them during their ad-
ministrations.
When the Legislature meets all of
the appointments made by Governor
Tener during the recess, that require
confirmation by the Senate, will be
sent to that body, but the Senate can
delay confirmation, if it chooses to do
so, and the new Governor can with
draw the appointments at any time be-
tore action on confirmation is taken.
1t is said that some of the appoint
ments will be held up in the Senate.
but no names are given.
