HOOVER'S "YES"
SIGNIFICANT
Stipulations Almost Led
to Cancellation of Ap-
pointment
HOOVER LAID DOWN
EXTENSIVE PLAN
Harding Surprised That
Hoover Made Announce
ment of Acceptance

| st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 25.--Piesi-
dent elect Harding's selection OF Her
bert Hoover to be secretary OF COM
merce was confirmed by Mr.. Harding
day after series of developments
that at one time seemed likely to lead
TO cancellation of the appointment.
Mr. Harding announced that he had
found himself in perfect accord with
the policies urged by Mr.. Hoover as
condition of his entering the cabinet
and that the entire incident had been
closed with a definite acceptance from
the former food administrator
At the same time the president elect
virtually confirmed also the selection
OF Henry Wallace of Iowa to be sec
retary of agriculture The selection of
Mr.. Wallace has been well known for
some time although previously Mr.
Harding had declined to discuss it.
Mr. Harding broke his silence regard
ing Mr.. Hoover after repeated efforts
had been made without result to Sc
cure confirmation of the statement is
sued by the former food administrator
in New York last night. No formal
statement was issued here, Mr.. Hard
ing simply said that the whole ques
tion has been closed satisfactorily.
Asked about the conditions laid down
by Mr. Hoover, which included indorse-
ment by Mr.. Harding of definite pol
icy for reorganizing the commerce de-
partment, the president elect replied:
"We are in perfect accord about
what the department ought to be made.
l wouldn't want Mr. Hoover or any
other secretary TO take a department
unless he intended to do things with
it."
He added that he saw nothing out OF
the ordinary about the case except the
publicity given it. Every other pros
peotive cabinet appointee, he said, had
discussed with him the matter of per
manent department policies.
Has any other laid down stipula
tons as Mr. Hoover hasg" he was
asked.
81 don't like the form Of your ques
tion, was the reply. u wouldn't call
them stipulations.
In the course of his comment Mr.
Harding also expressed surprise that
Mr.. Hoover had made statement on
the subject in New York last night
The president elect said he had intend
ed to announce the appointment him
self to-day but that his prospective
secretary had acted entirely within his
privileges in taking the initiative.
The reference to Mr. Wsllsces sp
pointment came in reply to chance
question relative to an article the
Iowa editor recently published on pol
ices he might pursue as secretary OF
agriculture.
Unless there shall be some e'unloOked
for development, was MIR Harding's
only comment, II have strong sus-
picion that Mr. Wallace will be serv-
ing in that capacity
