HUGHES LIKELY To
Be MADE SECRE-
TARY Of STATE
His Appointment Considered Ger
tain Following Conference
With Harding
PARTY LEADER 1916

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 14-Charles
Evans Hughes to be Secretary OF
State. This is the one Cabinet
to be regarded al
most as a certainty.
The presence Of Mr.. Hughes
In Marion to confer with Presi-
dent-elect Harding is generally
construed to mean that the lead
er Of the Republican party in
1916 has been offered the prem
iership Of the incoming admins
tration.
There are many reasons for
this. First in Importance is that
the foreign policies Of the Pres
'ident-clect and Mr.. Hughes are
similar. Mr. Hughes, during a
visit to Marion in August, an
nounced himself in favor Of the
recreation OF a world court as
the best means toward perman
ent peace. The President-elect
endorses the idea fully in his pla1
for an association Of nations
which could be realized in the es
Establishment Of an enlarged Ha
que Tribunal.
The appointment Of Mr.. ILughe
to the premiership would NEE
with none Of the objections tina
tinevitably~ would be placed in th
way Of the naming O. Senate
Lodge Or Knox.
