DELAY IS PREDICTED
 It is understood that the President elect made an early selection for the Philippine governorship, both because the place already is vacant and because he wanted at the outset of his admin istration to show publicly his regard for the man who was his chief opponent last year for the presidential nomination. Mir Harding has given serious thought to many of the other important ap- pointments he will have to make in the near future, but he said today that he expected to reach few definite selections until after inauguration He predicted that his choices for the diplomatic serv- ice all would be delayed for at least two weeks after he takes office.
 Resignation of Mir Hays, the new Post master General, from his position as republican national chairman is expected to come within the next few months Those who are close to both MT. Hard inS and his prospective Postmaster Gen eral have reflected the view that it would be advisable for the head of the party to sit for any time as cabinet member but no objection is seen to MT Hays retaining the chairmanship until the business of the last campaign fi- nally sis closed out That probably will be accomplished by April or May. '
 Accompanied by Mrs. Harding, the President-elect reached Marion from Florida early this morning, and will re- main until tomorrow evening, reaching Washington late in the afternoon of Thursday
 During the forenoon, Mir Harding looked at his newspaper office. visited his bank, and attended to several other personal errands, while Mrs. Harding paid farewell calls. Tomorrow a for nal farewell ceremony will be held by the citizens of Marion at the Harding front porch.
 One of the President-elect's calls today was at the Marion club, where he in- spected a Harding room,' decorated in his honor with mementos of the cam paign, and the meeting of best minds. In the historical collection were more than 100 autographed photographs ot celebrities who have partaken of the clubs hospitality during visits here.

SENATE DISCUSSES
 JAP RELATIONS IN
 EXECUTIVE SESSION
from Page Onel

have used bitter sarcasm in criticizing the closing of the Senate doors and characterized the Japanese relations argument as "bugaboo." He and others were reported to have promised to repeat in open session the discus- sions behind closed doors.
 Relations with Japan were brought into the discussion some time before the secret session. Senator Poindexter, in urging passage of the bill. said with regard to the island of Yap, that after it is too late to protect American in- terests we begin to assert our rights" and added that the United States is confronted with a very critical situa- ton in our foreign relations"
 Immediately the executive session was over Senator Poindexter gave mo- tice that he would try to hold the Sem ate in continuous session. senator Brandegee, republican, Connecticut, asked Senator Borah if it would oe pos sible to pass the bill.
 The Idaho senator replied with an emphatic negative and declared that he was perfectly willing to take the re- sponsibility.
 SHALL NOT PASS
 q don't intend to let it pass in it's present condition" he said, al1ing that several other senators supported lim in his opposition, and that from talks he had with members cf the House he was convinced that the House never would accept the increases made by the Senate committee.
 Senator Borah also opposed the Ala meda base appropriation, declaring that this item of the bill alone would re- quire lengthy debate.
 There were suggestions during the day and night that France and Italy had been added to the nations with which the President would be asked under the Borah resolution to confer in an effort to reach an agreement to limit future naval construction. The Idaho senator opposed these, declaring that the addition of those two countries merely would kill proposals for dis armament" and brand the entire prop- osition from the United States with utter insincerity."
 Other proposals as to disarmament were advanced and quorum calls and parliamentary inquiries held back to the routine of the Senate as they " ere put forward Early in the night Sena- tor Borah went out to dinner and Sem ator King again took up the fight against the bill.
 M Meantime Senator Poindexter had declared privately that 8 filibuster was on in full force.
