mitteeman from Nebraska. held confer
ences today with President-elect Frank
lin D. Roosevelt at the inner executive
Offices.
The appearance Of Young and Mullen,
both of whom have been mentioned as
possible members Of the Roosevelt cabi-
net. came as a surprise, for Mr. Roose-
welt had not told any one he expected
them.
Mullen emerged from the executive
Offices first and said he and the Presi-
dent-elect had talked "in q general
way" on national affairs. Young re-
manned after Mullen left. and luncheon
was taken in for him and the Governor
You know there's been a lot of
talk about you as prospect for the
Attorney Generalship in Mr. Roosevelt's
cabinet. don't you?" newspaper men
asked Mullen.
We'll, all know about that is what
read in the papers," Mullen replied,
smiling.
Works on State Finances.
Roosevelt's program for the day was
divided between State finances and at
least one national matter-a visit from
William Green, president Of the Ameri
can Federation Of Labor.
Mr.. Roosevelt had expected to see
Green at Hyde Park yesterday. but the
conference with the labor leader had
not taken place when he motored away
from his residence there toward Albany
last night, Instead 1t was said Green
probably would come to see him today
Sales Tax Talk Heard.

about the New York Capitol when Mr..
Roosevelt resumed work as a result
of disclosure by State Senator Seabury
c. Mastick over the week end that he
had discussed this method Of raising
revenue with Governor Herbert
H. Lehman, who will take Office Janu-
ary l. With disappointing revenue
from existing tax sources. Mr. Roosevelt
has predicted q State deficit OF from
SEC, 100000 to s100,000.0 900, which under
the constitution must be made up IN
the new State budget.
The Governor has made no comment
on the statement of Mastick, who Is
chairman of the State Tax Revision
Commission, that the commission would
prepare sales tax proposal In case it
Is felt to be needed.
Returns to Albany by Auto.
Interest centered In the Green visit
because Of reports that Green would
like to see Daniel j. Tobin Of Boston
named Secretary of Labor in the Roose-
welt cabinet. Miss Frances Perkins,
Gov. Roosevelt's industrial commits
sioner in New York State, also has been
mentioned for this pest.
The President-elect returned by auto
