FRENCH DEPUTIES TO TAKE
 VOTE ON PREMIER LEYGUEs

Paris, Jan. 11.-A test of the strength of the government of Premier Leygues is foreshadowed in the chamber of depl- ties tomorrow by the determination eX- pressed tonight by several groups of dep uties that they will insist upon an i'm mediate interpolation of the government or its policy without waiting the out come, of the conference of the allied pre- miers concerning matters still outstand-
 ing with Germany which is to begin Jan uary 19. It had been understood that
 the opposition would delay its attack so
 as to give NJ. Leygues a free hand in the
 allied conference. but many deputies had
 changed their minds tonight at the end
 of the opening session of the chamber today.
 It is generally considered that the gov ernment can hardly afford to risk such discussion now, as it seems certain , that the debate would be extended to foreign affairs but the opposition is said to be determined to force the issue in any case.
 A new factor in the opposition's dis satisfaction with the government devel- oped today in the discussion of the choice of a successor for Henri Ricard. min ! ister for agriculture. who lost his seat ! in the senatorial election last Sunday
 and therefore resigned. The names of a
 successor suggested by government sup | porters apparently were coolly received and it was announced tonight that nc decision had been reached as to who would fill the portfolio.

 The one place regarded as most likely .o be scratched off the doubtful list in the near future is that of secretary of state for which Charles Evans Hughes Of New York still is said to be upper most in Mir. Harding's mind. It Is un- derstood however! that TO definite word has reached here that Mir. Hughes will accept. and so that appointment too, may be delayed.
 Regarding all the other portfolios in the cabinet the presiGent-elect still !s collecting opinions and Is receiving all sorts of, counsel Two Of the appoint ments-those of secretary of the treas ury and secretary of as-rculture-were involved in conferences he held today.

Dawes of that city as secretary of. the treasury, was one or those that talked cabinet with Mir. | Harding during the day. Afterwards Mir. Thompson would mention no names and said that the cabinet talk had been | more or less general.
 Appointment of a secretary of arru- culture. was discussed by the president | elect with Charles Barrett of Georgia. president of the Farmers Union and said to be a supporter of Henry Wallace, of Iowa. flor the place Mir. Barrett also gave advice regarding an agricui- | tural policy.
 With Dr. JaccE Cloud schnrnrann. former president of Cornell university | NIr. Harding talked over at length his | pan for an association of nations. Con- l fidence that it would prove of rsctical 1 value was expressed by pr. Schurmann who said he believed no one had so cor rectly interpreted the aspirations of the American people as had the president ! elect
 Another caller today was R. B. Creag. | CT. of Brownsville. Texas. who Is a close personal friend Of Mir Harding and 1 who has been mentioned often as Il possible anbaG~ador to Mexico under the ] coming administration. Mir Creagel brought from the border an encoura ginr picture of Mexican affairs. declaring tha 1 President Obreg0n seemed in a fair way
