ANDY BAUINERT
 MAY BE |. ]. ?. COMM! I TEEMAN

PHOENIX. Dec 2S.-Reports that members of the Republican state committee would support Andrew J Baumert. Jr.. for national committee- man to succeed the late Allan F. JaJynes of Tucson were in circulation here today in connection with the call issued by Albert Nj Sames. chairman of the state committee. for a meeting of the committee here January 9. The purpose of the meeting is to select the national committeeman.
 Various other prominent persons had been mentioned previously as likely to receive the appointment. but political observers today were of the opinion that unless unexpected devel- opmnts brought change in senti- ment at the last moment. Baumert would probably he the choice of the majority of the state committee.
 In any event. it was said. Baumert intended to seek relief from the duties Of secretary of the state committee. which would make the selection of his successor in that office matter to come before the meeting. At the present time. according to party leaders. Baumert is raising funds to meet a $6.O00 deficit in the Republi- can campaign expenditure.
 Other possible changes in the state committee were under discussion to- day. It was reported Chairman Sames would probably receive appointment as additional superior judge for Cochise county. The recent federal census accredited the county with population of lG.500 The state law provides for the appointment of an ad- ditional sunerior judge in each county in which the population exceeds 3A.- GOO. Maricops county has already re cciycd it's second judge.

 Oscar Straus of Kew York. a form CT ambassador 10 TIrNcT and q pro- league worker in the treaty fight. took the view that the United States still should accept the league in some form and should launch its next move for world peace through that agency.
 Both expressed confidence in Sena- tor Harding's policy of seeking 70 unite the country behind an inte"na- tional program, but neither would eX- press publicly an opinion regarding the president-elects specific prU9Os- als for a world concert as he outlin- ed it to them.
 Although he was the leading Re publican supporter of the league through both ratification battles in the senate, Senator McCumber said he regarded the covenant as definite lY rejected so far as the United States was concerned and thought an association of nations now could be built up independently of the league machinery. He suggested that the greater powers he linked by a net work of arbitration treaties as the basis of the new society and that a disarmament agreement might be con summated as the next step toward world peace.
 As acting chairman of the senate finance committed McCumber also talked with the president-eiect about taxation and tariff proposals. He heiG out little hope that the present ses- sion of congress would do more than pass appropriation bills and budget measure

HARMONY WILL
 BE KEYNOTE IN
 APPOINTMENTS
President-Elect Finds Many Prominent Men Ready to
 Accept Portfolios

MARION, Ohio. Dec. 2S. - After weeks of consideration and consilta- ton. President-eiect Harding is near ing d decision on several Cf his most important cabinet appointments.
 l. may be said authoritatiyely that so far no such decision has been made and that any suggestions he may have dropped on the subject have been of a tentative and indefi- nite nature IL is equally certain. however that in his talks here with leaders in many walks of life. he has indicated clearly what men are up- peTmost in his mind as he asks for advice on the makeup of his official family
 Those who have discussed the ques- tion with him intimately. believe that appointments under very serious con sideration include the following:
 Charles F. Hughes of New York. secretary of state
 Charles c. Dawes. of Illinois. secre- tary of the treasury.
 John w. Weeks. of Massachusetts. secretary Of the navy
 Will II. Hays. of Indiana. postmas- ter general or secretary of the in- terior.
 Henry Wallace. of Iowa. secretary of agriculture
 Herbert Hoover. of California, sec retary of labor.
 Harry M. Daugherty. attorney gen eral.
 How many of these actually will be given the places for which they now are most prominently mentioned i- hat .G ing himself is not yet prepared to answer Already several shifts have been made in his tentative appoint ment slate as he. hos worked his way toward balanced and harmonious cabinet and ether changes are cS- pected before the last decision is made
 It is certain that for several of the places mentioned. the pI esident-elect has more than one man under consid- eration and that the list of seven pos abilities given here k far from com plete. In regard to most of the cabi- net posts. decisions may be deferred for several weeks and he interven- ing periods of deliberation may change the whole face of the prob lem and make one guess at the pres ent moment as good as another
 senator Hardins's selections for secretary of state and secretary of the treasury. however. are expected to be known definitely within a few days. At the same time. he may make public the name of one or two others on whom he has definitely de cided for membership in the cabinet
 Aside from the seven names men, toned recent gossip about Har''uC headquarters has brought to the fore. the names of several possihi 'ies who hitherto have been in the hack ground of cabinet speculation Among these is Joseph Dixon of Montana. prominently mentioned for secretary of the interior. Charles D. TIilles of New York, discussed for secretary of commerce or the treasury. and A. T. Hert of Kentucky. whose name has been associated with the portfolio of war
