Chicago, June "a dispatch from
Washington to the Tribune says:
An entire reorganization OF the
Wilson cabinet Is a possibility as a
result Of the resignation OF Score
tary Of State Bryan.
Few persons here regard the APP
pointment of Robert Lansing, coun'
Selor Of the state department, to the
position Of secretary Of state as a
permanent one. The great question
today with respect 20 the cabinet is
who will be Mr.. Bryan's permanent
successor?' + S.
I'll u" Several Suggested.
!D"Seveyal persons have been sug'
gested. Among them are John Has.

university, who during tie early
months 81 the administration served

"Mr. Houston has never participat

resides. AS secretary of agriculture
he has initiated no progress. Spec.
