Although formal ae ccptanees still were to ba received fb night from three of tha men selected for membership ia President elect Hard ing'a cabinet, the feeling of those close to Mr. Harding was that the wbols ques tion was aa good a settled. Dvspite soms published reports about the attitude of Herbert C. Hoover, chosen for Secretary of Commerce, there wa no evidence of apprehension here regarding his final deciaioa.

Exept for the two ap pointments already definitely an nounced, it is. regarded as unlikely that Mr. Harding will make known any of his cabinet selections officially . until inauguration, day. ' It alto is believed improbable that a definite announcement will ba made re garding tha ehoioa of George B. Chris-tian.-Jf.rt" be secretary to The" Presi dent.
