newly discovered evidence and mis

The court recently refused to re

JOHN W. DAVIS FOR
SECRETARY OF STATE
McAdoo, Baker and Owen
Young Also Mentioned In
That Connection; Glass
Also Is Talked for Treas
ury Post; Farley Probable
Postmaster. General
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, Nov. 10.—Alfred E.
Smith’s name inevitably comes up
first when a cabinet list for Presi
dent-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt is
suggested—as it was being suggested
even before Tuesday's returns were
half in, and as it was being speculat
ed on long before then, for that mat
ter.
Al is most frequently mentioned
for the post of "minister without
portfolio," as they say in Europe—a
designation which does not here, how
ever, mean anything in particular.
Discussing the question as a prac
tical proposition, in the light of exist
ing conditions, the secretaryship of
the treasury generally is referred to
as likeliest to appeal to the "Happy
Warrior.” The secretaryship of state
rates, technically, as the premier post
but doubts are expressed that Al would
take an interest in the problems of
foreign affairs, with which it deals
almost exclusively, equal to what he
would feel in the treasury depart
ment’s financialpuzzles.
Suitabilities strongly urged for the
state portfolio include:
John W. Davis, emocratlc presiden
tial nominee in 1924, former solicitor
general of the United States and for
mer ambassador to London; William
G. McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury, war-time railroad adminis
trator and a potent factor in Gover
nor Roosevelt's selection as the Jef
fersonians’ standard bearer at last
summer’s Chicago convention; Newton
Haker, President Wilson's secre
tary of war during the world con
flict; Chairman Owen D. Young of
the General Electric, and Frank L.
Polk and Norman H. Davia. both un
der-secretaries of state in the Wilson
administration.
Ex-Secretary McAdoo has support
ers also for the treasury position,
though it is not certainly known that
he would C*re either fof> that or for
the state secretaryship.
In addition to McAdqo and Al Smith
Senator Carter cAksa Virginia, who
succeeded McAdoo as treasury head
tn 191 t, is put forward for the same
department again, despite the fact
that he ia nearing 75 and has been in
falling health recently.
Bernard M. Baruch, the New York
financier, likewise has treasury back
