Edwin DENLY practically has been Sc
lected to be Secretary of the Navy, and
Herbert Hoover, it is intimated, viii be
Secretary Of Commerce.
There is uncertainty regarding only
one place in the Harding Cabinet, accord
ing to the close advisers Of the President
elect. That is in the Labor Department
For this post, it is believed that the
choice has narrowed down to two men
James J. Davis, former labor leader and
now head of the Loyal Order of Moose,
and James Duncan, an official OF the
American Federation Of Labor
DAVIS CHANCES
HELD BEST.
Chances are said to favor Davis ulti-
mately getting the place, although Dun
cans friends are unceasing in their eff
forts to secure his appointment.
One of the developments Of the clear
ing up of the Cabinet situation has been
to make it virtually certain that there
will be no distinct Southern representa-
tive" in the Cabinet.
Alvin Tobias Hert, national committee
man from Kentucky, who was elected In
some quarters to get the naval appoint
ment after the Lowden withdrawal, was
eliminated. 1t is believed certain also
that other Southern men, particularly
former Senator Newell Sanders of North
Carolina have been definitely shelved.
They may be taken care of in passing out
the smaller patronage plums. Of which
there win be a great number early in
the new administration because of the
necessity for creating an entirely new
shipping board and filing four places at
least on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.

General whom Senator Harding warmly
praised yesterday figured largely In the

MEXICAN QUESTION
TO BE FOREMOST

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Concentra-
ton on the Mexican question as a prob
lem of paramount importance in Amer
ica's foreign affairs, will begin imme-
diately after March 4, it was said to,
day.
With Senator A. B. Fall considered a
Cabinet certainty and Henry P. Fletcher
virtually chosen as under-Secretary of
State, it IS recognized here that Harding
has peculiarly emphasized the importance
in which he holds American Mexican re-
lations.
Fall, chairman of the Senate committee
which investigated Mexican conditions,
and Fletcher, former American ambassa-
dor to Mexico. are accepted as the men
who will be Harding's chief advisers on
Mexico. A move unique in foreign rela
lions, 1t was learned already is being
considered as a step toward the uphold
ing Of American rights in Mexico. This
move according to the present plan,
would take the form of an official state
ment serving notice that unless a gov
eminent in Mexico recognized by the
United States fully respects American in
terests then the American Government
will guarantee these interests. Such an
announcement Of policy, it is stated not
leo, but would notify the Mexican gov
eminent that the United States intended
to provide adequate protection for its
citizens.
EFFORT TO GET
TERMS IN WRITING.
Action Of this nature would not be
taken however, until efforts had been
made first to conclude a written agree
ment with Mexico in which that govern
ment pledged itself to the existing points
at issue. Attention is being given now to
recent advices at Mexico which presents
Oregon as being loath to conclude such
an agreement.
Conditions which the Harding admin
istration viii ask Mexico to fulfill as
preliminary to recognition by this Gov
eminent were stated today to include:
1. Reimbursement to Americans OF
damage suffered during the revolution
with the appointment Of a joint com
mission to adjust the claims.
2. The return Of all American property
seized by the Mexican government or In
dividuals.
g. An arrangement for The payment Of
Mexico's foreign debt, most of which is
owned in this country.
i. The repeal or at least a different in
deportation, OF cOnhscatory legislation,
including the constitutional provision
which nationalizes oil
These stipulations, It is Iearnd on high
authority already have the approval Of
President-elect Harding and have been
communica ted informally to President
Obregon.
