Tho impression gained by senator's
was that Mr.. Harding had formally
offered the navy portfolio To Mr..
Bowdcn, but II was not definitely rs
tablishcd that a reply had been re-
ceivcd from the former lliinoig gov
ornor. who Is sojourniug In Caltor-
MIA.
II was Indicated that II Mr. Low
don should refuse a post In the CHhi-
not there would be u shifting of tho
positions on the slate, and that

dent, probably ns head of a commits
sion to rcorganizc the entire govern
ment service ON an economical and
businesslike basis. project which
Mr.. Harding desires to embark upon
as soon as he assumes office.
No smooth Way for Hoover.
II transpircd that "A part of the
mission OF tho two cmisslrics from
the houscbOnt was to dissipate, II
possible, the determined opposition
of republican leaders to the appoint
ment OF Herbert Hoover TO the cab
met. Mr.. Harding wants Hoover In
his cabinet. but he has been startled
by the outcries OF rage and gnashing
OF teeth In the precincts of his clos
est friends In the senate.
Hoover In not a republican,
snort tho republican senators, from
tho progressive Johnson Of Caliror-
mia to the standpat Penrose of Penn
sylvania. and echo answers mot n

intermediate shades of republican
thought.
It was not apparent that the emis-
saries had accomplished much In
this direction tonight, the opposition
to Hoover relentlng only No far az to
approve his appointment to an Inn
portant post outside the cabinet, such
ns chairman OF n com mission ON re-
construction. Mr.. Daugherty said
he would lave n long distance telo-
phone conversation with senator
Harding IN n day or two, In which,
presumably, he win report the situa-
ton IN detail.
10 Set Special Session Date.
IL IL expected now that Sena ator
Harding will announce his complete
cabinet about a week before the in
bun w htiNlls Iit Nill lii'Il W dhnlllh p
ton March 3.
Another matter Mossrs. Fail and
Daughcrty took up with senate lead
ers on behalf ot the president elect
was the question Of the date for the
forthcoming extraordinary session OF
congress. Mr.. Harding had contcm-
plated conVcning the new congress
on April 4. but In view of the possi
hility OF appropriation bills failing
at this session, on account Cf the filt'
buster against the emergency tariff
measure, he thought 1t might be wis,
20 issue the call for March 81. I'm or.
der that the new congress could dis.
pose OF the supply bills and get an
early start on tariff ana tax re-
vision.
There was conference with Scua,
tors Lodge, Knox and Rraudcgco. AT
which II was decided that dctcrmiua.
uon OF the matter should be post,
poned until IL appears whether nt
agreement can he reached To dispos,
of the tariff bill and clear tho way
for the passage of all appropriation
bills.
