Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-07-10


following the Presidents announcement
that he would accept the nominees
resignation. Is that the time for the
announcement of the Presidents deci-
sion regarding Mr.. Hoover's retirement.
is accepted as being sufficient to set at
rest speculation that he might prevail
upon the Commerce head to remain at
his post indefinitely despite his extra
burdens as presidential nominee.
Resignation Not Accepted.
The President was represented as not
having accepted the resignation Of DR..
Hubert Work as Secretary Of Interior.
which was personally handed to him
by the new head Of the Republican ma
tionai committee last Monday. The
President has made 1t plain that he
intends 10 accept this resignation so
that DR.. Work may be relieved OF his
department work, but, for reasons OF his
own, he has withheld his formal ac-
ceptance.
The impression here is thatehe Is hop
Ing TO make a selection of a successor
to DR.. Work In q short time and that
he would like to announce the appoint
ment of the new Secretary Of Interior
at the time he announces the accept
ance of DR.. Works resignation.
mfr. Coolidge was ofiicially represent.
ed today as having the names OF gooo
many persons under consideration lor
these two cabinet posts, but that ne mas
nobody In particular In mind for either
place.
Successors Mentioned.
1t is thought likely that the Presi-
dent will not be long in making these
two selections. Intimates of his have
reason TO feel that former Senator VIII
liam M. Butler of Massachusetts,. his
personal friend. and who directed his
campaign In 1924. is among those who
have been considered by the President
for Secretary Hoover's place: There
are some who are inclined TO think tnat
this subject was discussed by the Presi-
dent with Mr. Butler during his over
night visit at Cedar Island Lodge three
weeks ago and that the appointment is
his IL he SO desires
Numerous other names have been
mentioned. but among those known to
be under consideration for Mr.. Hoov-
er's place are John Hays Hammond, re-
tired mining engineer and magnate OF
Washington and Massachusetts,. and
julius Klein. head OF the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce Of the
Department of Commerce.
Other Likely Candidates.
In connection with the fiiling OF the
| Interior Department post 10 be made
vacant the only name known 70 be
actually under serious consideration Is
| that Of william " Hodges Of Colorado,
until recently treasurer OF the Repub-
! Iican national committee. There are
/ other names before the President To
/ consider for this post, but they have
/ not been learned
| Edward c. Finney. Assistant Secre-
| tary of Interior, Is understood 10 have
| been recommended TO the President for
! elevation TO DR.. Works place. but there
/ has been nothing here To indicate just
/ how seriously the President has consid-
ever, that DR.. Work, during his recent
talk with the President, spoke highly
Of Mr. Finneys long service In the de-
! partment
Kellogg Visit Expected.
Other than Secretary Hoover's visit
next Monday and the visit he ts expect"
ing from Secretary Of State Kellogg

ing no intimation of any other cabinet
