E. HUGHES GOES TO TALK IT OYER WITH SENATOR HARDING President-Elect Begins Pro gram of Meeting of Minds to Frame Decisions on Cab inet and Policy Problems. (By The Associated Press.) MARION, O., Dec. 10. Beginning his promised consultation with leading figures of the nation, President-elect Harding had an appointment today with Charles Evans Hughes to talk over poli cies and proposals of the coming admin istration . . Although it was understood that the plan for an association of nations had prominent place in the conference, the coming of Mr. Hughes was generally regarded as having to do also with vari ous other problems. Many times recent ly his name has been suggested lor a cabinet position and the fact that lie was the first to be invited to the consultntion here was taken to mean that Mr. Hard ing might desire his advice in the fram ing of more than one feature of his ad ministration program. Mr. Hughes visit was unannounced, the president-elect having adopted a practice of keeping the names of his con ferees confidential until the day of their arrival here. It was said that his head quarters probably would make public no list of future callers. Several of these names already have been learned from other sources, however, and it is uader stood that his next conference will be with Herbert Hoover, who is expected here tomorrow. By making Mr. Hughes the first to be consulted here about the association of nations plan Mr. Harding has begun his "meeting of minds" by summoning a leader from the reservationists wing of his party. During the league fight, Mr. Hughes proposed' several reservations to the peace treaty dealing with Article 10, withdrawal and other subjects . In the midst of the campaign just closed Mr. Hughes was one of those with whom Mr. Harding talked and in a day they spent together here in September the league is understood to have been one of the principal subjects of consulta tion.
