PAGE FOUR SPECULATION UPON CABINET CHANGES BY WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. 9—Speculating on possible changes in the cabinet of President Calvin Coolidge flooded the capital today with rumors flying that at least four members will retire to private life within the next month. While President Coolidge has given no inkling of his attitude toward the cabinet beyond his official statements asking all members to remain, some of his closest advisers have permitted it to become known there will be a number of changes. Republican party leaders have "canvasses" the situation thorously and their opinions are that at least four members will resign within a few weeks. Concensus of opinion is as follows: Secretary Charles E. Hughes probably will remain, at least until after congress convenes, to complete treaties which he formulated during the recess. If his friends formally launch a presidential boom behind him his resignation would come at once. The party leaders are urging Mr. Coolidge to retain him. Andrew M. Mellon, secretary of the treasury; Resignation expected and probably will be accepted. Mr. Mellon is reported "disillusioned" by his experience in public office and greatly desires or retire to private life. His warm friendship for the late president Harding kept him in the cabinet this long. Party leaders would like to have him remain. John Wingate Weeks, secretary of war: will remain. Friends of President Coolidge want him to direct the executive's probable campaign for re-election. Harry M. Daugherty, attorney general: Will resign almost immediately. His illness precludes continuation in office. His post probably will go to prominent New York or Massachusetts lawyer. Harry S. New, pastmaster general: Probably will remain. Friends of Mr. Coolidge desire him in the cabinet for his political satire. He is EX-CONGRESSWOMAN'S STOCKS CLOSE STEADY NEW YORK, Aug. 9—The stock market closed steady today. Transactions in the final period were very small, with most issues displaying a steady tone. Prices rallied some in the last few minutes and gains of a fraction to nearly one point were scored. Erie issues sprang into prominence again, the first preferred advancing over one point to 21%. Railroad stocks were steady, with gains averaging from a fraction to over one point.

His illness preclude continuation in office. His post probably will go to prominent New York or Massachusetts lawyer. Harry S. New, pastmaster general; Probably will remain. Friends of Mr. Coolidge desire him in the cabinet for his political sagacity. He is reported as having indicated his willingness to stay. Edwin Denby, secretary of the navy: Resignation expected and will be accepted. The navy post, looked upon as a "social assignment", probably will go to personal friend of the new president. Hubert Work, secretary of interior: Uncertain with some of Mr. Coolidge advisers demanding a practical western business man for his post. Learned that Secretary Work, who is a physician originally, desired post as chief public health service. May be transferred. Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agriculture: Future uncertain. A majority of Mr. Coolidge's advisers desire a practical "airt farmer" in this secretaryship. Wallace's record in office so favorable, party leaders may demand his retention. Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce: Resignation expected and will be accepted, probably within mouth or two. The presidential boom started months ago for 1928 has been diverted to 1924, party leaders say. James G. Davis, secretary of labor: Will remain. His record looked up with favor by President Coolidge and the secretary deemed big asset by the president's advisers. BAUMGARTELS MAKE 4500-MILE JOURNEY Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Baumgartel and family returned yesterday from a 4500-mile auto tour. They traveled along the Columbia river, Vancouver, Spokane and other places in Washington.
