The Secretary of State sometimes is regarded as the keystone of the cabinet arch. It is likely that Mr. Hoover, if he has not already settled the appoint- ment to ‘that office, is desirous of. get~ ting the matter determined at an early date. ‘There is & belief in some quar- ters that Mr. Hoover took up the mat- ter, at least tentatively, with Senator liam E.

If the appointment is not going to Mr. Hughes or Senator Borah, others who are thought to have a chance of appointment include Ambassador Pletcher, who represents the United States in Rome but who made the South American trip with Mr. Hoover; Ambassador Dwight Morrow, who has returned to his in Mexico, and Am- bassador Alanson B.

GUATEMALA REVOLT MAY INVOLVE . §. American Property Reported Destroyed as Rebels Launch Campaign in West. Revolution in Guatemala has brought {tm United States Government face to | face with another Central American | incident, not unlike the one in Niea- | ragua which was settled peaceably a ! month ago only after Marines had been dispatched to the scene, a dosen or more of whom were killed and many more wounded in severe brush fighting with the Nicaraguan revolutionists. While official dispatches reaching | Washington up to last night indicated that the revolution in Guatemala ap- '| parently was confined to two small and | sparsely settled departments in the | western part of the republic, it was ad- | mitted that already some American | property has suffered damage and there was unconcealed apprehension at the Department of State that the revolt SN TOUR THROUGH SOUTH AMERICA WAS HOOVER'S OWN PROPOSAL (Continued From First Page.) than loss of personal prestige. To a President-elect, however, failure could have meant not only loss of personal prestige but possible disaster to his administration. ‘Who can deny that it took genuine self-assurance, amazing courage to ven- ture forth in the face of considerations so grave as these? Not Given to Snap Decisions. Mr. Hoover is not given to snap decisions. Before undertaking any project he weighs the advantages against the possible disadvantages. He meps out methodically a deliberate plan of action, with the care and precision born of long training in engineering principles. He does not shut his eyes to difficulties that might arise, but, rather, seeks to anticipate them and prepare himself to meet and master them. Consequently it can be stated with assurance that the President-elect's decie not & suddes: cue. It cannot be gainsaid that the decision was a complete surprise to some of his most intimate friends. There is good reason to believe, however, that the Hoover mind had given long and considered thought to the plan before that thought crystallized into a definite determination. Consults With President Coolldge. Nor is America's next President in the habit of reaching an important deei- sion without seeking the advice of friends and expert counselors. Certainly, it would have been discourteous of him to have overlooked consulting the chief administrators of our foreign policies, via, the President of the United States and the Secretary of State. 8o it came about that Republican Nominee Hoover betook himself to the ‘White House just prior to his departure for California—ostensibly to say good-by to President Coolidge, but more than incidentally to discuss with the latter the unique plan which Hoover hoped to carry out in the event of his election to the presidency. The very fact that a discussion of this kind took place between these two men while the election was yei some days in the future is indicative of the supreme confidence both felt in the outcome of the campaign. Had either had the slightest misgiving it is scarcely conceivable that serious consideration could have been given to a project predicated on but one hypothesis—that Hoover would be victorious at the polls. ‘The unusual duration of that final White House farewell party gave rise at the time to much conjecture. It was pointed out that neither Mr. Hoover nor Mz, Coolidge was so sentimental as to require nearly an hour to exchange good- bys. None guessed the real reason for that extended conference, however. It is recalled now that during Mr. Hoover's last week in Washington, prior to the election, he had been visited at his campaign headquarters on several occasions by Secretary Kellogg. When questioned, the State Department head gave evasive replies. The real subject of those conferences is understood better in the light of subsequent developments. ‘Was the good-will mission Hoover's own idea?
