ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 11.-- With a possible presidential nomination in his pocket, Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon arrived here today enroute to Kansas City and declined to indicate who might expect Pennsylvania's 79 votes.
"We expect to hold a delegation caucus before the national convention opens tomorrow, at which the matter of how we shall vote will be determined," the secretary said.
His train, one of three specials carrying Pennsylvania delegates to Kansas City, stopped off here a few minutes before proceeding westward.
There was a somewhat playful smile on Mellon's bronzed face when he appeared on the observation platform with Governor John S. Fisher of Pennsylvania and greeted newspaper men.
"I just haven't any statements to make at this time," he said in answer to questions.
So far as he would indicate his state's 79 delegates were as uninstructed as the day they were selected.
"Are you perhaps enjoying this situation of expectancy?" he was asked by the United Press.
"That remains to be seen whether I am or not," he replied with a good natured smile.
