BAKER MAY TAKE
 OVER RAILROADS In Connection With His Cabinet Posi- tion, To Succeed Secretary Me-
 Adoo Who Has Resigned.
(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 23.- The an- nouncement late yesterday that Wm. G. McAdoo had resigned as secretary of the treasury and director general of railroads took official Washington so completely by surprise that there is little speculation even today as to his successor It is not known whe- ther the president will fill the offices separately.
 In some quarters it is thought the president might decide to make some other cabinet member head of rail- roads. In such an event it is con- sidered likely the place will go to Secretary Baker, Postmaster General Burleson or Secretary Lane. Should the president go outside the cabinet the name of Walker D. Hines, assist ant director general, is mentioned.
 For the treasury and secretaryship the names of John Skelton Williams, comptroller of currency, W. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal re- serve board, Russell G. Leffingwell, assistant secretary of the treasury, and Paul Walburg of New York are mentioned.
 McAdoo gave the necessity of re- plenishing his personal fortune as the reason for his resignation.

 In all probability it is safe to say that relatives have already been not flied of the casualties that will be published during the coming weeks.
