0!0 HARDING OFFER HUGHES POST?

That is the Question Which Politicians are Asking Each Other Today BY JACK rtOYl.E -STJFF : ; '- r i T I N -EKVfCf J MARION, O.. Iter. U. D.d Presidentfleet liarllns offer to Charles Kvans Husrhcs the pots of secretary of stale i' This is tivt question which Is agitating; political Marion today. Senator Harding and former Justice Hugh'. were in each oth". r's company constantly from the time Mr. Hughes arrived until he dipartxl. None had the temerity to ask Mr. Hughes whether he had been tendered the post, In the presence cf the man who has the disposal of the office. Justice Huches was all smiles when he and Senator Harding left for Columbus tocether. The senator seemed equally well pleased with the result of the conference. Harry M. Dougherty, the Harding pre-conventlon campaign manager, probably knws. He is known to be close :n the councils 'f the president-elect and he traveled cast on the same train with Justice Hushes at least as far as Harrisburg. Mr. Paugherty, however, when asked earlier In the week about the cabinet bicuation, expressed himself aa follows: "I do not know, and if I did know I would not tell without express permission from Senator Harding." Mr. Hughes' criptlc statement, issuel after his interview, was interpreted by many as Indicating that an accord has been reached on the outline of a foreign policy and that Mr, Hughes had been selected to carry out its provisions. It is known that he has been under consideration for a cabinet post. It 1 snot known whether he wishes or would accept such a position. Another question which is arousing interest here is whether Col. Georg? Harvey will be present at the conference between Senator Harding and Herbert Hoover. Col. Harvey still is a guest at the Harding home and Mr. Hoover is expected Sunday.

JAPS ARE DISTRUSTED BV CHINA 'VrXBMl SC. TON. Dec. 11. Distrust of Japan la mainly responsible for the eietruat on the part of China in the Bew consortium organized by the U. S., Great Britain, France and Japan for the financial assistance Offered to China, according to Chinese here. This feeling of distrust, these offiefa: aaid today, has caused the Chinese d-ilepat'on at the league of nations conference in Geneva, to misconstrue the statement of Baron Hayashi, Japanese ambassador to Great Britain that the U.

Hayashi. they insist, had reference to the new financial agreement, and Dot to any general political policy. Tha note of Inquiry as to America'; Utliude reported yesterday from Geneva to have bee.n despatched by Dr. TVeJHnyton Koo, head of th Chinese delegation, has not yet been received at the state department.

It thus hoped, according to its official announcement, to asstt! the Chinese peoples in their efforts tovard a feater unity and to .offer individual enterprise of all national! t'es equal opportunity and a wide 1ld of activity in the economic development of China.
