Lewis, Butler, Mon- dell and Warren Held Possi- ble Appointees. BY J. JLL YOUN the smoke of battle has away and March 4, when Calvin Coolidge will become Presi- dent in his own right, is nearly months off, rumors fly thick and fast #s to the personnel of the new cabi- net The cabinet makers are hard at it. Speculation is rife on all sides. Tresident Coolidge remains silent. He probably figures that speculation is a harmless pastime. Besides, say those who know him, the more and louder others talk for him the better he can think for himself. Although hardly fade Some Changes Likely. All azree, however, that there will be some new faces in the cabinet of the new administration. With the exceptions of Attorney General Stone of New York and Secretary of the Navy Wilbwr of California, whom | Mr. Coolidge personally others of his official family were in herited from President sHarding. Each offered his resignation upon the death of Mr. Harding, but these the new President graciously declined to even read Although the dence of hars e has been every evi- ny between the I'resi- dent and the cabinet members during the nearly 16 months he has been at the helm, intimates of Mr. Coolidge contend that it only natural t@ assume that he would prefer to pick his own advisers. It is pointed out in this connection that more than one member of the present cabinet is not exactly of the type the President| would be supposed to favor. I Moreover, some members of present oabinet have indicated wish to retire to private life. W. Weeks of Massachusetts, Secre- tary of War, is among these. Secr: tary Weeks has not been in the best of health lately and he is known to look upon his office an arduous | one. Hubert Work of Colorado also, it is understood, wishes to retire. He wa irst Assistant Postmaster Genesal under Will Hays, and when the latter resigned Mr.dVork was appointed by President H@ding to succeed him. Later, when Albert B. Fall resigned as head of the Interior Department, Mr. Work was given that office, where Le has served since. His wife died suddenly early last Summer and he felt the shock very severely. the they, John Your Likely to Stay. According to officials, party leader and friends who have talked with the President during the past few days, it is probable that Secretary of State Hughes, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, Attorney General Stone and | possibly Secretary of Commerce Hoover will be found sitting about the long mahogany table in the cabi- net room when the next administra- tion starts to function. As for Postmaster General New, ccretary of the Wilbur ~and cretary of Labor Davis, there is only speculation. Mr. New is known to be well liked by the President for his succesful administration of the Post Office Department. But there is nothing beyond this to determine Mr. New's future connection with the Coolidge administration. He loves the smoke of political battle, Ever since his defeat for the senatorial nomina- tion in Indiana two years ago he has yearned for another chance. Some of his friends he will want to re-| tire from the cabinet next March to | prepare for another race for the Sen- | ate. This would pot him against old-time rival, Senator James Wat- son. It would be a man-sized task and New would love it. However the Postmaster General has made no com- ment himself. Lewis for Labor Post. Secretary of Labor Davis appears to be virtually forgotten in the cabi- net rumors. It has been said in the vould retire at the end ration to devote his entire time to fraternal organization work. Should he resign, it is said that John L. Lewis, of Indiana, presi- dent ¢f the United Mine Worker: would 'be advanced by many as h successor. President Coolidge is known to hold Mr. Lewis in very high esteem. The latter, although | he made no great noise about it, did much in the President's interests dur- ing the past campalgn. Friends of Mr. Lewis say. however, that he may not take kindly to the cabinet offer, since as he has his eye on the presi- deney of the American Federation of Labor. These cabinet rumors have it that Secretary Wilbur, who was drafted o succeed Secretary Denby from the Supreme Court of California, is anx- ious to return to the judiciary. So much for the rumors about the faces that are likely to be missing from the White House cabinet room after March 4 for the holdovers. Every one ves that President Coolidge will offer his most convincing arguments to retain Secretary Hughes as the premier of his administration. One | report, which lacks confirmation, is that Secretary Hughes is the Presi- dent's choice for his successor in 1928. Without attempting to put any credence in this gossip, it is admitted in official ci that although. Secre- tary Hughes' relations with the pres- ent. administration have been espe- cially happy and he loves his work, it will take considerable persuation to hold him. It is no secret that the State Department head is making a great personal sacrifice by staying in public life. He was prospering greatly when he put aside his prac- tice to answer the call of President Harding, and it is reported that he has a standing offer to join a large New York law firm, with a guaran- tee of $200,000 a year. four | | upsets foot | recordea selected, the | | of 15 victories to 9 for Harvard, while {liams when he left the game toward Another interesting rumor is that ¥rank W.

After the first period, when Har- vard's stubborn defense twice thrust | back Tiger drives, the Crimson had | nothing capable of checking this fierce antagonist, who lashed out with stunning power on all sides and with the swiftness of lightning Touchdowns in the second and third periods, and two in the fourth, inter- mingled with field goals in the ond and fourth periods, represented the toll of Tiger damage. 1t became a rout as the shadows crept over the giant amphitheater, a continual sweep of streaking Orange | and Black jerseys over the chalk | lines. And when the final whistle | blew, Princeton’s cohorts, already whipped to a frenzied pitch, swept | down on the gridiron in a wild out- burst of enthusiasm. Around the | field the wildly excited mob surged, marching behind a buffeted Prince- ton band, and a!l but uprooted the Crimson goal posts that during the afternoon had seemed an irresistible magnet to Tiger ball carriers. Score Is Record. Over the stretch of years since Harvard and _Pinceton began their rivalry in 1577, no victory has been recorded as decisive as that of today. Only twice before has a score rival- ing today's Tiger total been run up, and on each of these occasfons, when Princeton also was triumphant, the margin of victory was not so great. In 1854 Princeton won, 34 to 6, while five years later the Tiger scored 41 to 15. Princeton now has a targin 3 ties have figured in the between them. Out of obscurity, a new Tiger hero came into the fray this afternoon to dominate a triumph that has few gridiron parellels. This vital spark in the Princeton dynamo was Ted Williams, 21-year-old quarterback, of Stamford, Conn.,, a product of Mer- cersburg Academy. Williams Is Hero. Coming into the fray early in the second period when Coach Bill Roper switched to his “lightweight” back field, Williams was a flashing figure in the victorious Tiger drive that marked the remainder of the game. Scoring two touchdowns himself. Williams was the outstanding star of a slashing offensive. He had able support in the.brilliant broken field runs of Jake Slagle, the ramming line-drives of Caldwell and Weeks, and the knife-like thrusts of Dignan and Gilligan, behind a line that con- sistently outcharged the Crimson for- wards. ' It was a great moment for Wil- clashes the close, after piloting his team to an invincible lead. A year ago this youngster, playing his first game against Harvard, came close to turn- ing the tide of Tiger defeat when, injected a few minutes before the final whistle, he tore a off 30-yard run. That day, however, his oppor- tunity came too late and Harvard won; but this afternoon he came into his own. Handed the inspired driv- ing power that seemed to come to life in the Tigers after a long period of dormancy, Williams got the most out of it in a manner that stamped ~(Continue mn 4) Drought in New York City in 32d Day; Connecticut Mills Forced to Close Special Dispatch to The St NEW YORK, November 8.—The drought, which in and about New York City already has broken a 52-year record, enters its 32d day tomorrow with a promise of rain early in the week.

Headed by Henry W. Temple, Rep- resentative from Pennsylvania and chairman of the committee appoint- ed by the Federal Government to select an appropriate area for the creation of such a reservation, the park experts arrived late this after- noon from Washington. Besides Mr. Temple the party included: Others on Committee. Col. Gienn Smith, acting chief engineer of the United States Geological Survey, dir\ctor; Maj. W.

By the Associated Press. November 8.—Dr. TItalo Balbo, in his capacity as commander- in-chief of the fascist national mi- |litia, today challenged to a duel, Gen. Peppino Garibaldi, the Italian patriot, The challenge was made after Gen. Garibaldi's seconds, considering the challenge to a duel made vesterday by Gen. Vareni, commander of the Rome zone of the fascist militia, as- serted that Vareni was not the head of the militia and that he had no right to ask for satisfaction from Garibaldi. Their principal, they said, was ready to accept a duel with Premier Musso- lini. The original challenge was made because of Garibaldi's protest against the alleged attack by fascist militia men upon unarmed former soldiers on Tuesday, when Rome was celebrating the sixth anniversary of the Italian armistice with Austria.
