ate cloakroom gossip,
Since it became known that Mr..
Harding hnd Mr. Hughes in mind for
secretary of state and Mr.. Dawes for
secretary Of the treasury. there has
been much discussion Of these two
names in the Senate cloakroom.
Mr.. Hughes has never been popn-
lar man among the Republican poll
ticinns. As governor Of New York he
was at odds with the Republican or
Vanization of the state And party mon
always remember failures Of officials to
get on with the organization. Again
as candidate for President in 1915, Mr..
Hughes was not liked by many OF the
leaders of his party throughout the
country. They were not greatly IN his
confidence and he did not take their
advice. They found him "Co'd and i'm
practical" When his name was dis
cussed at Chicago a. a possible nonl-
nee last June. the New York Delegates
put stop to all talk Of making nlm
again a candidate. by saying that they
preferred any on" to Hughes.
Dislike His Independence
This feeling about Hughes is natu-
rplly reflected in the conversation over
cigars among the senator's. Many s'na-
tors would prefer some one else than
Hughes as secretary Of state. And th"r"
is another reason for this preference. y
good many senator's. especially members
NJ the foreign relations committee,

secretary Of state from the kind Mr..
Hughes will make. They would prefer

Wilton and BRUSSELS carpet weavcrs

that their controversy with the manu-

Stand OF New York Senators

The New York senators would be
chiefly interested in any objection that
might be raised to Mr.. Hughes, who
is ess popular with the organization
in his own state. Senator Wadsworth
and Mr., Hughes did not ct on together
when Mr.. Hughes wns governor of New
York, but Mr.. Wadsworth il under GER
tain obligations to Mr.. Hughes In the
recent Senate campaign in New York
which resulted in MIR. Wadsworth's re.
election. He is not opposing Mr..
Hughes as secretary OF state. Senator
Calder Is favorable to Mr.. Hughes ap-
p0intment.
Ex Secretary Elihu Root has certain
friends in the Senate But It is doubt.
tul il he has as many friends there as
Mr.. Hughes. The anti league forces in
the Senate, and they rredominate. are
against Root because they think he IL
too friendly to the league. They prefer
Hughes to Root and the senators who
are jealous Of the influence over foreign
relations which the Senate gained
during the fight over the treaty do not
want Root as secretary Of state. Root
knows too much about foreign affairs
and has too positive convictions.

sort Of notifications Of the German
proposals would make them acceptable
to the Allies
As suggested in The Tribune's Wash
ington dispatches this morning, one Of
the plans Of the Administration, II it
should develop that the Allies will not
do business on the line Of the present
proposals, was to obtain from the Ger
man Foreign Office, by supplementary
cables, such notifications of the pro-
posed terms as would meet the most
serious Of the Allied objections.
1t is thought that this is the reason
back OF the request by Secretary
Hughes to the German Foreign Office,
as reported in cables from Berlin,
though official confirmation of the fact
is lacking here, to withhold publca
ton of the German proposals for a
while 1t is believed that the Admin
istration hoped to be able to make
public it's own decision at the sa
time that the German proposals were
published, though hope of this was
abandoned Tonight, when the Germans
according to cables. decided to give
out the text in Berlin.
