WILLIAM J, BRYAN FOR SECRETARY OF STATE. This is Now Regarded as Assured Fact at Washington. Washington, Feb, 25.—Cabinet gos- sip took u devidedly active turn about the capitol today, and for the first time democratic leaders professed to speak with definiteness on many of the plans relating to the official family of Pres- ident-to-be Wilson. It was evident that something more than mere specu- lation had come to knowledge of those closely identified with the new admin- istration. William J. Bryan for secretary of state is looked upon as definitely sot- tled. Democratic leaders in both the senate and house treat this as one of the phases of. the cabinet beyond fur- ther doubt. Another name referred to with definiteness was that of Repre- sentative Albert S. Burleson of Texas as postmaster general. Gossip late in the day, however, indicated that Mr. Burleson might be shifted to the sec- retaryship of the interior department. Other names believed to be settled upon were those of Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, usually referred to in connection with the navy_ portfolio, and William G. McAdoo of New York. Democrats believed to be in possession of accurate information from Trenton declined to indicate the exact positions accoraed to Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Dan- fels. The selection of Representative A: Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania for attorney general or some other cabinet Dosition was considered vrobable. Tater tonight a statement by one high in consressional authority that the following cabinet selections had positively been mad Secretary of State Willlam J. Bryan, Nebraska. Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo, New York. Secretary of the Navy Joseph Dan- iels, North Carolina. Postmaster General Burleson, Texas.
