TITE MORNING OREGOX1AN, FRIDAT. NO VE3IBER 8, 1912 WILSON'S MIND. IS OPEN Oil CABINET President-elect Says Specula tion Is Fruitless, and Keeps Own Counsel. VACATION BEING PLANNED Period Between Election and Inau guration Regarded as Time for 10 ten Ins; Carefully to Ideas of Others.. PRI.VCETON. N. J., Nov. 7. Prest-lent-elect Wilson has not decided upon the personnel of his future Cabinet and lie intends to keep his mind open on the subject for a long; time. To put n end. if possible, to all gossip about ?abinet appointments he issued the .'ollowlng statement today: "Such speculations are perfectly fruitless. I mean to keep my mind ntirelv onen with reward to appoint ments of the first consequence until a final announcement is possible. It will perfectly be useless to resort to me for corroboration of any report be cause I shall have Bbsolutely nothing; to announce. No announcement will have the least authority that Is not made over my own signature. These are matters which must be determined by very deliberate counsel and not by gossip. Subject ot Discussed. There is every reason to believe that Mr. Wilson has not discussed the fram ing of a Cabinet with anybody. The President-elect said tonight that he considered the time between his election and his inauguration a period In which he should listen carefully to the ideas of men informed on National questions and that It was "a public duty" for him to do so. Concerning reports about his pro posed vacation he said any definite an. nouncement that he was going: to the Bermudas was not authorized. Vacation Plana Secret. "For the very reason that I am going away to rest," he added. "I will have no announcement of my plans to make until the day before I start." ' lie said that if he did take a sea trip he certainly would not go on a private yacht, but would go on a regular steamer. It is likely he will get away within a fortnight. Governor Wilson had a busy time with his correspondence and telegrams today. Callers came in a steady pro cession in spite of the rain and muddy roads. for for CONTRACTORS LOSE F0RCE Railroad Workmen Quit When Asked lo IK Chambermaid's Task. SPOKANE. Wash., Nov. 7.

WILSON TOJSET 436 VOTES (Continued From First Paire.) be approximately 1.000,000 more than the vote for Wilson. Proportion May Not Vary. The figures will be materially changed by the final count, but it is expected the proportion for each candi date will not vary greatly. The preliminary count gives Wilson approximately 46 per cent of the vote, Roosevelt J9 per cent and Taft 25 per tent. The total vote thus far reported is less than In 1908. while official re turns are expected to bring it above these figures. In 1908. out of a com bined vote of 14.030.8S8 cast for Taft and Bryan. Taft received more than 50 per cent. The victory for Wilson in New Hampshire did not carry with it control of the State Legislature, where the Re publicans have a majority on joint bal lot and will dictate the selection of a I'nited States Senator.

ELECTION TARIFF RIDDLES COMMITTEE Four Democrats on Ways and Means Not Returned Five Republicans Fail. IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE Selections for Cabinet May Cut Fnr- -ther Into Chairmanship Material, Money Inquiry Is Left - Without Head. WASHINGTON. Nov. 7. Although Democratic control of the House of Representatives by a greatly increased majority is assured, a general shakeup of the personnel of the important House committees in the next Congress will be necessary. The ways and means committee, which will shape Into bills the tariff policies of the Wilson Administration, was riddled by the election. Of the 14 Democrats on the committee four will not return. Two of these, however, Hughes, of New Jersey, and James, of Kentucky, go to the Senate. Hindeli, of Texas, and Brantley, of Georgia, are retired. Republican Members Fading. Out of the seven Republicans on the committee only two apparently will re main. John Dalxell, of Pennsylvania, and Samuel W. McCall, of Massachu setts, for years shapers of Republican tariff policies, were not candidates and Ebenezer Hill, of Connecticut, and James C. Needham, of California, and probably Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, were beaten. Sereno Payne and Joseph Fordney may be the only Republicans left. The election of Representative Sulzer, Governor of New York, leaves vacant the chairmanship of the Important for eign affairs committee. Flood, of Vir ginia, is ranking member of the com mittee, but he declined the chairman ship two years ago to accept the less important territories committee. Either he or Gardner, of Texas, Is expected to get the place. Buraett, of Alabama, Advaaeed. The election of Morris Shepard. of Texas, to the Senate, if seniority is fol lowed, will move Representative Bur nett, of Alabama, to the chairmanship of the public buildings and grounds committee. The vacancy at the head of the pub lic lands committee, caused by the fail ure of Representative Robinson, of Ar kansas, to return, probably will be filled by moving up Representative Graham, of Illinois, at present chairman of the committee on expenses In the Interior Department. The banking and currency committee. investigating the so-called money trust, will be without a head, Representa tive Pujo, of Louisiana, having been retired. Representative Carter Glass, of Virginia, is the ranking member of the committee. Cabinet May Take Leaders. The retirement of Representative Lamb, of Virginia, as head of the com mittee on agriculture opens this place for Representative Lever, of South Carolina, but Mr. Lever would be forced to give up the chairmanship of the ed ucation committee, which would go to Representative Ansberry, of Ohio. This accounts for all the chairmanships left vacant by the election, but the forma tion of the Wilson Cabinet may alter the list further. Representative Henry, of Texas, chairman of the rules committee; Rep resentative Burleson, of Texas, a mem ber of the appropriations committee, and Representative Underwood, head of the ways and means committee, have been mentioned as Cabinet possibilities. A AVIfe's Confession. Newark, N. J., News. 'Marie," said Mr. Valesburg to his wife. "Yes, John. '"I have something on my mind that I must tell you before I can ever be happy." "I shall be glad to hear anything you have to say, John." "It is hard to tell you, but I can't hide the truth any longer. Marie, I mar ried you under false pretenses." You did:" "Do you remember what it was that brought us together?" 'Can I ever forget It, John? we were at the bathing beach, I was drowning, and you saved me after I had given my self up for lost." And afterward, In gratitude, you married me. Yes, I felt that I owed my life to you. Marie. I deluded you sdoue mat res cue business.

Little Mary was not especially noted for her table manners, so. that on sev eral occasions she had dined on the kitchen cabinet when there was com pany in the house. But the dinner prepared tor tne new minister was en tirely too tempting to be passed over lightly, so she resorted to an kinds of promises for the privilege or coming to the table. True to her word, Mary was on her very best behavior, but she did so want a second piece of cake, and the plate was over by the minister, entirely out of her reach. After giving the matter considerable thought, she rolded her hands meekly and exclaimed: "Mr. Blair, please pass the cake for goodness sake: On the high seas of the world there ar 8.XO steamers. agi?ro(ratlnt a tonnage of 17,000,000, sailing unaer me uruisa nag.
