Definite Announcement by White House Follows Series of Recent Rumors. WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. Ferret ary Fail of tho Interior deportment will retire from office March 4, it was announced 'today al the White House, to return to the practice of law and the conduct of private business affairs In New Mexico. President Hardin, who la not yet pre- pared to name hie successor, waa by an administration spokesman to have made every effort to retain the cabinet officer In service, and to .have tendered him, without avail, an appoint meni to tne supreme court bench to tui the vacancy caused by the recent retirement of Justice Pitney. Secretary Hall aaid lter that the only impelling cause for the stop was the con dltton of hie own affaire, and took occasion to deny reports that he had resigned to accept a place as counsel for an oil cor porallon, or that any friction existed between himself and associates in the ad ministration. Ha will go to his cattle ranch In New Mexico Immediately upon leaving his office, and, after a short vacation, resume the practice of law and the administration of his business interests. Aa a senator, Secretary Hall was a per. eonal friend and associate of Mr. Harding It before entering the administration. was understood when he accepted the , portfolio that he might not serve throughout the administration, aa drouth and cat-- I tie market conditions In the New Mexican ! territory where his market Interests lie, were said to have a claim on his atteo-- i tion. More recently, In connection with i plans for ths reorganization, of govern- ment departments, there were reports t that Secretary Hall desired the forestry service, now attached to the agricultural I "department, to he transferred to the in-- S tarior department under hla direction, but the whole matter has been In abeyance. In office Secretary Hall has taken i personal interest in Alaskan and westernaffairs with which ths interior departj i ment comes In direct contact, and- - has made several inspection trips to points in the publlo domain of Immediate interest. The president, it was Indicated, might take some time In the selection of a suo- reesnr to the retiring secretary, whose resignation constitutes the second break within the administration's official family since Mr. Harding assumed office. Re- ports have been current that a shifting of cabinet assignments might result, by i which Secretary Hoover would vacate ths commerce department to take over the I direction of interior affaire, Julius H. Barns now president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, might suc ceed to Mr. Hoover's post, it has been said in this connection. At the same time, a number of men associated with the administration have been named since Secretary Hall's retlre-- 1 ment came under discussion, as possible eppolnteee for the Interior post, without any tranafsr within the president's cabinet. Among them are Senators New of Indiana and Kellogg of Minnesota, and ; ; ltepreaentatlve Mon deli of Wyoming.
