Upon his return to his own office fn the Crozer Iluildlng Mr. Moore an nounced he had made the offer of the cabinet position nnd that Mr. Kcn drick's decllnntlon left lilm free to con sider others for cabinet appointments. "Mr. Kendrick appreciated tho tender but said he would not accept any place in the cabinet. He said he had not gone into tlie campaign for thnt pur pose. His spirit In the- whole matter wns fine.'' AVhlle Mr. Moore refused lo discuss others in connection with cabinet places It is believed thnt Mr. KendricVs ac tion lesults in the virtual appointment of Dnvld J. Smyth ns city solicitor. Mr. Smyth is a close friend of Mr. Ken drick as well ns of Mr. Moore, nnd it is bought that Mr, Kendrick urged the appointment of Mr. Smjth ns city soli. itor. It is kuown thnt Mr. Moore is anx ious to secure the services of tho man who will be the new city solicitor at tlie enrlicst possible moment. Confers on Cabinet Situation hi his conference vtith, Mr. Kendrick Mr. Moore canvassed the political sit uation ns it had developed during his absence and also talked over prospective cabinet nppoiutmenta. Discussing further his talk with Mr. Kendrick, who was chairman o the Moore I'nitcd Republican campaign commutes, and who ns such managed both the primary and general election campangn for the Mayor-elect, Mr Moore said: "Mr. Kendrick has just associated himself -with former Attorney General John C Hell nnd prefers (to continue the practice of his profession. I ex pressed m sincere regret that be could not join with me in thp work at City Hall. I mudo the offer to Mr. Ken drick because T felt it was due to him because of the lifelong friendship that lins existed between us nnd also because of his splendid management of the cam paign. Frankly, I felt that he should have first consideration, nnd I there foip offered him any xst in the cabi net. That matter now being over, 1 feci' free to go on to the consideration of others. Pays Compliment lo Kendrick Mr. Moore said he desired not onl lo offer a cabinet post to Kendrick, ns lie indicated he would do while in Cliniieston, S. (',, but further, he de sired to pa n personal compliment to his friend and campaign manager. "Anything you wnnt, 'Doc,' " is the way the Mayor stated his offer to Mr. Kendrick. Among his intimates Mr. Kendrick is known ns "Doc." While Mr. Kendrick will not be a member of the Moore cab inet, ha will be one of the closest nd visors of the new Mayor. As one of Mr. Moore's friends put it, ho will be thp "Colonel House of the incoming Philadelphia administration." Mr. Kendriek's suggestions, it Is be lieved, will go far with Mr. Moore in the consideration of cabinet appointees Solomon Ilains, of the prothono tnry's office, brought Mr. Moorc'a cor tiik-nte of election to his office this morning.
