Morgan Partner
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Dwight W. Morrow, partner of Morgan, the Wall Street banker, was recommended to President-elect Hoover today for the post of Secretary of State. His sponsors were Senator Edge and Senator-elect Hamilton Kean of New Jersey.
The fact that this recommendation has been given wide publicity and is the first announcement to be made in this connection, indicates that Hoover probably intends to put another member of the House of Morgan in the Cabinet, along with Mellon. However, Borah is said to be in the running, partly as a reward for his services in pushing the Kellogg pro-war treaties. Morrow is now ambassador to Mexico, and is Morgan's special expert on German reparations.
"Second White House."
Hoover has established his headquarters in the Hotel Mayflower, making it a "second White House." He arrived in Washington yesterday on his special train, with an extra baggage car attached to carry the presents which South American governments thought it wise to give to the agent of American imperialism. Among the presents are articles of Inca gold, of enormous value.
