Governor Wilson Has Named Joseph P. Tumulty Secretary.
President-elect Wilson has named Joseph Patrick Tumulty, of New Jersey, to be his private secretary. Tumulty was his private secretary as governor of New Jersey, although for some time he has officially been clerk of the state supreme court, which gave him a salary of $6,000. He will have to resign that job in order to become the president’s private secretary and his new job will not pay so much money. r Mr. Wilson denied that he had decided upon William J. Bryan for secretary of state. He is quoted as saying: “It is not true because I have not decided upon anybody. I have made no offers as yet.” There were a large number of callers at the governor’s house in Trenton Monday, mostly from prominent democratic politicians.
