Dwight w. Morrow Ambassador to
Mexico. following a conference with
President-elect Hoover that be was not
to be in the latter's cabinet and that
he would remain at his post In MeXi-
co. was substantiated today by Sena-
tor-elect Kean of New jersey. after an
scur,s talk With Mr.. Hoover.
You can eliminate Mr.. Morrow from
any consideration III connection with
the appointment of a Secretary OF State
;n Mr.. Hoover's cabinet" Mr.. Kean said
1n discussing his conference with the
Tresident-elect. "Mr Morrow is going
back to Mexico City and finish the job
be has so ably started there. Mr.. Hoover
realizes all that Mr.. Morrow has done
In harmonizing the relations between
teie United States and Mexico and ne
realizes also that Mr.. Morrow Is the man
to iron out the problems that stu re-
main" . 49,
In making this definite statement the
New Jersey Republican leader WanVeo
1t understood that Mr.. Hoover dlo noV
directly commit himself one way or the
other regarding Mr. Morrows future.
Mr.. Kean and Senator Edge OF New
Jersey urged the appointment OF AM
l3asssdor Morrow as Secretary of State
when they called ON Mr.. Hoover shortly
after his return to washington from his
South American tour.
Weather Delays Fishing Trip.
Mr.. Kean said that besides Mr.. Nor
rows relations with the incoming ad-
r1inistration, he and Mr.. Hoover dis
cussad variety of subjects today. They
talked fishing at some length, favorlte
topic with Mr.. Hoover; they talked ABOUT
Florida, and briefly dicuSSed the poll
teal situation in New jersey, which,
according to the reports given by MI.
Kean, are highly satisfactory.
A strong wind and chill in the air
caused Mr.. Hoover, who had yesterday
postponed until this morning going on
another fishing trip, to decide to wait
until late this afternoon. Reports from
Long Key we're that the wind was
strong and the water rough off the keys
where the President-elect has planned
to fish. It is hoped that more ideal
conditions will prevail tomorrow morn
ing when the President-elect pushes OF
from the houseboat, anchored in Ia
COON near Long Key, and goes far out
into the gulf stream In quest OF the
elusive sail fish.
When it was decided to wait until
afternoon to leave for the fishing
grounds, Mr.. Hoover set about making
use of the time by diving into the mass
of work confronting him. He quickly
disposed of a quantity OF mail, and
then sent for his stenographer and en-
tered upon the task of adding to his
inaugural address He is understood to
have completed this morning that Sec
ton of his address to be devoted to
foreign relations.
He received no callers other than Sem
ator-elect Kean and he gave his UNI
divided attention, after the latter left,
TO his work until the luncheon hour
arrived.
Cabinet Believed Completed.
The impression given by Mr.. Hoover
since coming to Florida is that he has
virtually completed the task OF franz
ing his cabinet At any rate, the Sc
lection of the men who are to be his
advisers and members Of his ofnclal
family for the next four years Is APP
parently giving him very little con-
Germ. The opinion of Mr.. Hoovers
intima5es is that he is not likely 10
make known his cabinet selections until
Inauguration day.
Mr.. Hoover is known to have given
considerable thought to the actual run
ming OF the Government since ms re-
turn from South America. He is known
to have discussed this important sub
1ect with President Coolidge just be-
fore leaving Washington for his Florida
vacation and is understood to have re-
vealed some of his ideas in this con-
nection to the President and to have re-
ceived the latter'S opinions. One OF the
results of his talks with Mr.. Coolidge
has been the latter's request of Con-
gress that provision be made for an
additional presidential secretary at a
salary of $4,000 year
The understanding is that one of Mr..
Hoover'S ideas regarding an improve
nent in the management OF the Gov
ornamental affairs is to bring about a
closer and more intimate relationship
between the Executive and the various
independent Government agencies. He
has reason to feel from his eight years
experience in the cabinet. that the
Executive should hold tighter rein on
these independent agencies especially
SO, when it is considered that they are
such a vital factor in the Government
establishment and are expanding many
millions of dollars year. Among those
agencies are the shipping bOdTU, tIle
Veterans Bureau, the Tariff Commits
sion, the Federal Trade Commission,
the Radio Commission and score of
Others.
Richey's Name Mentioned.
His scheme to bring these agencies
in closer contact with the executive
and to enable the latter to be more
familiar with what is going on in this
respect calls for the appointment of
laison officer, who will keep the White
House advised 1t is understood that
the $4,000 salary asked for an addi-
tional presidential secretary will be paid
to this liSiSon officer.
Speculation regarding this includes
the name of Lawrence Richey, who is
his personal representative on his
Florida vacation, as being the man Mr..
Hoover is most likely to appoint as
his liaison officer Richey has been with
Mr. Hoover since the food admins
tTation days.
Harlan F. Stone. Associate Justice
Of the United States Supreme Court,
and Mrs. Stone, who arrived at Belle Isle
Monday morning, will be in the party
TO accompany Preisdent-elect Hoover
and Mrs. Hoover to the Florida Keys
for the second fishing expedition of this
pre-inaugural vacation.
