 MARION, Nov. 3.---Warren c. Hard ing spent his first day as president elect resting from tho tension of cleo ton night and reviewing late returns with particular attention to the make up of the Sixty seventh congress.
 He expressed keen pleasure as the growing figures confirmed a Repub- lican gain in both senate and house, for he had told his friends that his greatest apprehension over the out come had not been a fear of defeat for himself so much as a realization that as chief executive his hands might be tied by lack of a working party ma Jority in the legislative branches.
 His interest throughout the last weeks of the campaign turned spe- officially to the senatorial situation and it was known in the inside circles of the party that it was to aid Repub- lican senatorial candidates more than for any other cause that he left his front porch and made swing around the circuit of states where the present narrow senate majority was receiving its heaviest attacks.
 As for his own fortune he said to- day. he never had been in doubt for a moment from the time of his nomina- tion. He did voice surprise at the
 
 him. however. declaring the result had overreached his fondest hopes.
 Mir. Harding was not inclined to re- gard tho triumph as a personal one. As he told many of his audiences dur ing the campaign his feeling was that the decision would be made on issues. rather than candidates and the league of nations and the record of the Wilson administration at home were the de- termining factors.
 Messages of conaratuIation.
 An avalanche of congratulatory messages was received by the presi- dent-elect and Mrs Harding today, many prominent Democrats being num- bered among those who sent their good wishes. Governor Cox sent a brief telegram accepting the result, and the senator in q still briefer message thanked him. When Mir. Harding looked in at his office at the end of the afternoon no word had vet been re- ceived from President Wilson.
 Now that the political complexion of the next administration is known definitely. gossip about cabinet selec- tions is reviving and enough names to fill a dozen cabinets are being men, toned in current rumors as likely timber for tho official circle of Presi- dent Harding. Both Mir. Harding and ms GiOtG AuNl8CTN nave luulCdLEQ. now ever. that all of these forecasts art purely speculative and that the ques. tion of choosing a cabinet is one ye' to be taken up.
 In this undercurrent of speculation which apparently is without sanction of authority the names heard often a. cabinet officials include those of Elihl Root, Philander c. Knox. Henry Cabo Lodge, Charles k. Hughes, Herbert AT~4 T Frank O. Lowden. former Senator John w. Weeks. Harry NJ. Daughert. and many others.
 Besides cabinet officials MT. Hard ing will have an army of other fedora appointees to select--a fact which wa. brought to his realization with nev force today as the petitions of offic seekers began to fly into his offic i'm full swing. His friends declare i was to avoid such annoyances durin period of rest that he win leave Sat urday for months trip to Poin Isabel. Texas. and the Panama Cana zone.
 Mir. Harding parted formally wit his privileges as a private citizen toda with the arrival of an advance guar of the secret service detail that wi 20 with him everywhere until the en Of his presidency Joseph Murph, assistant chief of the service an formerly in charge of the white hons detail. came here to make the dt A tailed arrangements and spent the da in consultation with James Sloan. ar other former white house chief. WI left the service last June to accent private post as Mir. Hardine's person body guard during the camapign.
 In tho exchange of telegrans tods between Senator Harding and Cove nor Cox no words were wasted , either side in references to the ffgb ing lines or the issues of. the campaig
