Henry Morgenthau Hear"
Members Would Quit.

Admitting that he had heard on good
authority that some Of the members Of
the present Cabinet had asked to be
relieved Of their posts. Henry Morgen-
thau, former Ambassador to Turkey,
stated last night at the Shoreham that
in his belief President Wilson had not
even thought Of the Cabinet since the
election.
Mr.. Morgenthau. who was treasurer of
the National Democratic Committee. is
passing through Washington as the guest
OF Edward L. Doheny. wealthy oil oper-
ator, familiarly known as Lucky Strike
Doheny, who has just collected an cleo
ton bet Of $4,000 They intend to cruise
on Doheny's yacht. THE Casiana," to
New Orleans, Tampico and, Habana
The only idea in my head just now
is rest" said Mr.. Morgenthau. After
such campaign as the one just closed
we are all just about finished up, physi-
cally. But it was such a glorious victory
that we are all satisfied and happy.
LAS to changes In the Cabinet Il is far
too early to even give them a thought
While l have heard on good authority
that some of the members wish to leave
the Cabinet, 1 do not believe the Presi-
dent has given 1t a thought and probably
won't before February.
Most of the members of his first Cab
met were not appointed until the Febru-
airy after the election and as Mr.. Wilson
Is naturally conservative and judicious
do not believe he will make any changes
at this time. There is so much that
can happen between now and March T.
that he would be foolish to consider
changes"

TT might be one and neither" was his
reply. within the next four years there

alignment. New issues will develop,
whether Wilson or Hughes is finally de-
clared. elected to the Presidency. Mr.:
Hughes never sought the Presidential
nomination He was drafted. He never
lifted a finger to get it. His nomination
came in response to Republican and
Independent summons. I still believe that
he has been elected. l shall await the
official returns and hope that they will
demonstrate that he has been.
''As for California, when returns from
the State switch in a moment from 500
for Hughes to 1900 for Wilson, it is the
duty of the campaign manager to in
vestigate. I do not charge crookedness.
But I do say that the vote must be
counted as cast in California and else
