; FAST IN
FOR CABINET POST
By Robert J. Bender
. UoltM Ne BUff Correspondent
v New York. Dee. 23. One of the
' Republican leaders who is directly
and intimately in touch with.Presl-
dent-elect ' Harding's pre-intugura-,
t ion. movements described tlie status
of Ex-Justice Charles Evans Hughes
es "five sixths secretary of state in
;ths Jlarding cabinet." , '
i In the tim breath, this authority de
clared the missing- sixth" that separates
Hughes from the leading cabinet port-
his acceptance very uncertain.
It has "first to do with Hughes" will
tlngness to go back again Into public
-life from a private practice that has
proved tremendously lucrative, since he
resigned from the supreme bench in
19I6 to make an unsuccessful campaign
for the presidency.

i It has further to do with conditions
that would be imposed upon an accept
ance of the premiership, which conditions
are understood to embody a willingness
to abandon entirely the present League
of Nations and set forth on. a project
for a new association entirely.
It will be recalled that previously in
the dispatches it was reported leading
tBepublicans were convinced only as to
one thing relative to the next secretary
;of state, this being that he would be
a man selected to form a new associa
tion instead of attempting to modify the
-present one.
J AS stated above, however, the author
ity for designating Hughes as ''five
sixths S O S"' today Is a prominent Re
publican leader other, than Hughes him
sejf. The ex-Justtce made only terse
comment on reports of Harding's offer
when Interrogated by correspondents.
'"The stories published," he said, "are Ir
responsible rumors and I do hot care
to discuss them." I
tliOTH IJIDEFIXITE
There was more he apparently had to
say ut he stopped at this statement,
"carefully prepared, and which, of course,
was neither a confirmation rr a de
nial of the Washington reports.
i Meantime word from Marlon credits
Harding with branding the reports as
""holiday fiction," which might e con
fttrueted a denial, but which also might
the merely the president-elect's illustra
tion for entertaining light reading.
At all events, whether Hughes has
4been tendered the post or not, he con
tinues one of those most frequently dls
jcussed as the probable next premier, and
itherein rests the real Interests In the
situation. -

EYELESS ONES
MAY LIVE TO
SEE BY SKIN
- ir'llnlrl ntem)
Paris, Dec. 23. The possibil
ity of seeing -without eyes is fore
shadowed by Dr. Sarigoule In a
statement today claiming: that
although a man may be com
pletely eyeless, he may be made
to see by the skin of his face,
which he can train to develop the
ancient property of being af
fected by light exactly as a pho
tographic plate.
Dr. Sarigoule experimented
with himself with his eyes tightly
bound for SO hours and was able
to recognize such objects as keys
and scissors. lie claims that the
experiments which are possible
only in daylight have been suc-v
cessful with several men who
were blinded during the war.
The doctor states that in pre
historic times before the eye de
veloped the epidermis performed
the same function.

dered him, with the reported conditions
attached, it would constitute Harding's
J first challenge to the so-called pro
league group, boasting such Republican
leaders at Herbert Hoover, Elihu Root,
tex-Presldent Taft and others less promi-
nent.
Harding would be found pursuing his
.hitherto successful course of action,
namely, compromising between the two
.opposite sides on the issue by designat
ing a man regarded as of the pro-league
fiiroup for a work that would mean
throwing over the present, league, as ad
vocated by the anti-league lrreconcila
kbles, and starting from the scratch on a
new form of associatlcyi as favored by
.Jfarding himself throughout the cam
paign. X Heretofore, Hughes and' Root have
