from the steamer Vindobona which

vided the best available substitute

The explosion. the officers said,
would not have sunk the ship and
did not damage her below the wa

hull was not nearly so strong as
those or modern super dread
naughts.
The officers were called before

saved By suspending work on the

FORMALLY FOR
CABINET POST
Harding Officially Appoints
Former Governor as Sec
rotary of State.
CONFERENCE
Hughes Declines to Make ANY
Statement Other Than
His Acceptance.

By Associated Press:
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. 10
Charles Evans Hughes, former gov
ernor of New York. justice of the
supreme court and republican NOM
inee for the presidency. was formal
ly designated by Pres't-elect Hard
ing Saturday as the secretary of the
state Of the coming administration.
The announcement. embodying
the first official word TO come from
the president-eIec regarding selec-
lions for membership I'm his family
of counsellors was made I'm a simply
worded oral statement, after a long
foreign problems that must be
solved after March 4. Neither Mr..
Harding nor the prospective head
of the state department added any
formal comment.
There was no element of surprise
in the selection. for II had been
known for several weeks that Mr..
Hughes virtually was certain to be
given the place. He is understood
TO have been Mr.. Harding's choice
from the first. despite strong pres
sure on behalf of other aspirants.
Decline Statements.
Mr.. Harding declined TO go into
details about the subjects discussed
with Mr.. Hughes during their all
day conference. saying that one OF
the policies OF his administration
would be TO let each department
head speak for himself Mr..
Hughes. in his turn, declared no
public statement on the problems
ahead would be expedient at this
time.
"Of course.'' he add, at appraise
Il as a great privilege to be invited
by Pres't-elect Harding to serve in
his administration. And 1 regard
it as an IMPERATIVE obligation to ac-
cept."
1t generally was understood.
however, that diplomatic appoint
ments TO be made at the outset OF
the new administration furnished
one of the topics talked over, and
that there was consideration also of
the preliminary steps TO be taken
toward an association OF nations.
Although neither Mr.. Harding
lnor Mr.. Hughes would divulge the
opinions expressed during their
consultation, the general impression
among those close to the president
elect is that the first diplomatic ap-
rroaches to other nations in regard
10 a peace association will be of an
entirely informal character.
Hughes Well Fitted.
Mr.. Hughes will bring to the sec
retaryship of state a legal training
of unusual scope as well as a mind
sympathetic to international agree
ment for the maintenance of peace.
During the treaty fight, he advocat-
ed reserved ratification OF the Yer
sailles league and proposed several
reservations which were considered
by the senate majority in the prep
aration of its final program.
Although the conference with Mr..
Hughes occupied virtually all of
the president-elect's attention dur
ing the day, he had several other
callers, including Chairman Ford
ney Of the house ways and means
committee, who came to talk about
tariff legislation and Manuel Angelo,
representative of the Cuban lib
eral party, who asked that the Am
erican government aid in guaranL
teeing fair elections in Cuba.
