 This is by no means the first mention of Col. Tilson's name in connection with that portfolio and the idea is not new in administra- tion circles. On the other hand, it Is felt that Col. Tilson is of too great value in his present position as lead CT of the house to be switched to other activities, and also it Is under stood that he finds his present work and associations extremely con- genial
 Other possibilities named are for mer Representative Walter H. New ton of Minnesota, now one of the pl asident's three secretaries, and PatArck Hurley, of Oklahoma, now asslsNnt secretary of war. Proba- blilty points 10 Mir. Newton. though With Col TilSon still in mind.
