It was his first extension of executive .clem ency. The " President" talked also with Senators Smith and Towhsend of Michigan about the appointment : of former Representative Edward V S Sweet of Grand Rapids as an Assist ant Secretary of Commerce. t The principal engagement for which the President reserved, a longer time was with National Chairman. William; F. McCombs. Mr. McConibs has' been offered the post of Ambassador to France and it was expected .that' his decision to accept or decline V would be known today. . . , . McCombs Considers Offer. ' r : Chairman McCombs told .the Presi dent that he preferred; not J to. accept the post of Ambassador to France, that he might remain in private life and probably retain the; chairman ship of the National Committee." Pres ident Wilson urged ; Chairman f Mc Combs not to definitely-decline the of fer until he had considered it furth er and Mr. McCombs agreed to do sb-. Mr. McCombs told the President that his preference 'had 'been from the start not to accept public .office. The President, however, had told him ' that he was earnestly; aesirous of hav !ng him accept, a foreign -post 4n as much as he had declined to , become a member of the Cabinet The Pres ident asked Mr. v McCombs to hold his mind open until at least April 1. Mr. McCombs said later to " inquirers he was so strongly urged by the Presi dent that he felt it his duty to give the question more serious and careful consideration. '' The Diplomatic Question. ' Mt. McCombs declared the Presii ent had determined to pick out dip lomatic representatives solely" on the hasis of ability rather than wealth. Mc McCombs said he thought -that eve nif he were to accept the. ambas sadorial post he might-not resign as chairman of the Democratic National Committee as he didV not- think he ould stay abroad for the full period f the administration.
