whether any conclusion# were reached. Mr. Harding declining to talk about the subject and Mr. Hughes stsying merely that "important questions ' of foreign policy had

Mr. Harvey, who speftt two weeks
here while Mr. Harding was formulating hi# league of uauona policy in the campaign may remain for severa! da>jS »t Harding headquarters here. The fact that Mr. Hughe* was the first Republican leader to be summoned to consultation hv the Pre#;. debt-elect, revived rumors that he was being strongly «eonsidcred for secretary of state. There was no authority evidenced tq support the report, however, during his vi#!f here.
Hughe* IsHuea Statement.
At the end of the conference with Mr. Harding, Mr. Hughes _Issued this

before leaving he left woVd that whatever Mr. McCray and Mr Schortemeier decided in regard *to a legislative conference would be
