WAR JOB MAY GO
TO M0RCENTHAU
BY UNITED PRESS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1e.--OfficiaI
Washington today was interested In
a report emanating from well-in.
formed circles that President Wilson
is seriously considering Offering the
now vacant war portfolio to Henry
Morgenfhau, ambassador to Turkey.
Morgenthau is now on the high
seas enroute 10 this country from
Constantinople. Coincident with the
fact that he will not reach this
country for some days. is the state
ment at the White House that
President Wilson has decided ito
take his time" about appointing a
successor to Garrison.
Another angle developed today
when II was stated at the White
House that the president is anxious
TO have In his cabinet some prom.
inent lawyer from a middlewestern
state. This doomed the stock for
former Gov. Judson Harmon, OF
Ohio. Harmon within the last few
days has gone on record as being
strongly In favor OF preparedness
and entirely out OF sympathy with
those who are opposing the presi-
dents program.
