WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.--At least
three prominent New York Republicans
will be appointed by President Harding
to represent the United States in iln-
portant embassies and legations. The
President went over at st, Angus
tine long list Of Empire State men
considered eligible for such places by
Senators Wadsworth and Calder and
National Committeeman Charles NJ
Hilles. Senator Calder was not pres
ent, but he had long conference on
the subject with Senator Wadsworth
Just before Mr.. Wadsworth took the
train for Florida with Mr. Hilles.
On his return to-day Mr.. Wadsworth
declined to mention names, either in
connection with diplomatic appoint
ments or the Cabinet. 1t is known
among New York Republicans here,
however, that five OF the names on the
New York diplomatic list are those of
Frank a. Munsey, Colonel William Hay
ward, Charles Sheriff., Jules Bache and
William Miller Collier.
DR.. Schurman Considered
1t is learned also that the name of
DR.. Jacob Gould Schur1nan, former
president Of Cornell, may be considered
by Mr. Harding for the Navy portfolio
| instead of Governor Lowden of Ill-
! nols, who had been rather definitely
peggesd for that place by the CORE
spondents with Mr., Harding up until
few days ago. Mr.. Harding is known
to have very high regard for the
ability of DR.. Schurman, ard to be anx-
ious TO draft that ability for the coun-
try If suitable post can be selected
1t has been suggested chat DR.. Schur-
man might be sent as ambassador TO
one of the important European capitals
but SO far as can be learned no definite
decision has been reached
The names Of New York men agreed
on as eligible for embassies and lega-
tions will probably be submitted by Mr.
Harding to Charles E. Hughes, who will
be Secretary of State, not only because
the men appointed will have to work
in cooperation with MIR. Hughes but
because Mr.. Hughes. being New
Yorker, would probably know about the
men themselves.
Wants Congress to Speed Up
Mr.. Harding impressed on Senator
| Wadsworth again his desire for a
speeding up by Congress, so that the
appropriation bills would be out Of the
way, leaving the new Congress with
a more or less clean slate for the pro-
gram Of the new Administration. Mr.
Wadsworth pointed out to the Presi-
dent-elect the difficulties in the way
particularly the situation in the
House, where any member can force
q roll call on any disputed question
thus slowing down the effectiveness of
that body Of 435 members to a point
below that in the memory even OF
Uncle Joe Cannon. He also pointed out
to Mr.. Harding the situation on the
army and navy bills.

merit of capital ships in view of the
