to 20 in 60 Kean would not say yesterday who he has in mind to succeed Horn, who replaced Kenneth R. Biederman as treasurer March 20, 1984 and received a $70,000 annual salary. The governor also has not moved to fill permanently the vacancy created when George J. Albanese stepped down as state human services commissioner earlier this year. Geoffrey S.
Perselay, Albanese's chief of staff, assumed the title of acting commissioner and the a-year salary July 1. And Kean has not said who he will tap to replace Gregory Stevens, who will give up his job as Kean's chief of staff Dec. 13 to join a political consulting firm in Alexandria, Va. Stevens has been the governor's right-hand man since May 1983. He tendered his resignation Nov.
21. There has been speculation Edward McGlynn of Point Pleasant Beach, who has been assistant chief of staff since July 1983, may move up. But it also has been rumored that Roger Bodman, who ran Kean's 1981 gubernatorial campaign and now serves as state transportation commissioner, is being considered. If so, Kean's Cabinet would be due for yet another shuffle. Although the governor gave no clue yesterday who may get Edwards' job as chief counsel, Kenneth D.
Merin, Kean's director of policy and planning, has been mentioned as a possible successor. Merin, an administration troubleshooter, has served as Kean's chief deputy counsel, head of the Division of Motor Vehicles and acting insurance commissioner. For a time, there had been speculation Horn might replace Kimmelman as attorney general. Only hours before it was confirmed that Edwards would get the job, Horn's resignation was announced. The treasurer emphasized his decision was personal.
"I am at a point in my life at which I must decide whether to remain in public service or to return to the public sector," Horn noted in his letter of resignation. "There are many factors which seem to indicate that a return to the private domain is in order, and, after having thoroughly discussed all aspects of such a career move with my wife, I feel that I should indeed follow that route." Horn was Kean's banking commissioner for two years before he agreed to become treasurer and head a department with 6,000 employees and a million budget. The department manages a $16 million investment portfolio, issues state general obligation bonds, plans and administers the state's $8.9 billion Asbury Park December 3, 1985 A13 JAMES A.

Philip Larkin, English poet The Associated Press LONDON Philip Larkin, the modest, reclusive Englishman who was one of Britain's most acclaimed and beloved poets, died yesterday in a hospital in northeast England. He was 63. Larkin died in Nuffield Hospital in Hull, where he had lived for 30 years, said administrator Jackie Richardson. Cause of death was not disclosed but he had been in intensive care in Hull Royal Infirmary during the summer, suffering from breathing difficulties following throat surgery. all assumed he was on the mend so it was a shock to hear of LARKIN his death," Jonathan Barker, poetry librarian of the statefunded Arts Council, told The Associated Press.
Larkin had led a quiet life as a librarian in Hull, living behind curtains usually drawn to keep the sun off his beloved books. His poetry output was meager compared with his jazz criticism, his other passion in life, which was prolific. But his poems about ordinary people living ordinary lives were best sellers. Called "the hermit of Hull," he had been the favorite of his fellow poets to succeed the late Sir John Betjeman as Britain's Poet Laureate in 1984, but he declined the offer and the post went to Ted Hughes. Although Larkin published only four slim volumes of poems between 1945 and 1974, he was the country's best-selling, poet after Betjeman.
Six thousand copies were sold in three weeks of "The High Windows," his last volume in 1974.

banking commissioner in a time of financial turmoil, Mike Horn wisely supervised the safety and soundness of our banks and savings institutions and helped guide the state during the period of financial deregulation," Kean said. treasurer, he vigorously helped me cut taxes, to make our economic recovery last, and to judiciously our state's financial resources," preserve, added. Kean and Horn two served in the Assembly together in 1973. Horn's district covered part of Passaic County and Kean's, part of Essex. When lines were redrawn, placing them both in the same district, Horn agreed not to seek another term, clearing the way for Kean's re-election.
Kean, upon becoming governor, rewarded Horn for his political sacrifice. In August, Horn became one of only five state officials in the country to receive the National Governors' Association award for distinguished service to state government. The Edwards nomination will be submitted to the state Senate for confirmation when it reconvenes Dec. 9. Earlier this year, Edwards said he would leave his job as the governor's counsel because it was draining and left him little time for his wife and family.
As attorney general, he will supervise a department that employs more than 7,000 workers and has a $180 million budget. The department oversees an array of autonomous and semi-autonomous boards and regulatory commissions, including the office of the state medical examiner, Violent Crimes Compensation Board, Racing Commission and Election Law Enforcement Commission. The attorney general also supervises the state police, gaming enforcement, alcoholic beverage control, the state grand jury system, Division of Motor Vehicles and civil rights. Kean said Edwards, a lawyer who had just won a third term in the Assembly when the governor recruited him to be his counsel in 1981, has the experience necessary for the job. He said Edwards' liaison work with the Legislature over the past four years demonstrated his ability to "serve the public interest in a profes-sional manner.
"Whatever the program or proposal, Cary Edwards' ability to work with the legislative branch has consistently stood out," the governor said. "He, as much as anyone else in this administration, deserves credit for many of the accomplishments of the past 1 four years." Senate Minority Leader S. ThomasGagliano, R-Monmouth, said Edwards has "earned the respect Republicans and Democrats alike his fairness and his knowledge of issues." From page A1 Bush presidential campaign, he Bush said. "It's not germane to what we are trying to do," Kaufman said. Bush is tapping the supporters to help the Republican Party, he said.
People not in the Bush camp are assisting the fund because they support the effort to elect Republicans, he added. About 500 persons are on the fund's national steering committee, including several state Republicans. Kean does not want his top administration officials aligning themwith prospective presidential candidates. But the fund's steering committee includes state Insurance Commissioner Hazel Frank Gluck, Lakewood; Eugene J. McCaffrey, Civil Service Commission president, and Joan M.
Wright, Division on Women director. Although Kean and Bush are political allies and have a longstanding working relationship, the governor IS not scheduled to attend the fund-raiser. Press aides said Kean is not even scheduled to meet Bush while the vice president is in the state. Unless he has a change of heart, that could raise some eyebrows because Kean, as governor, has never failed to greet the vice president whenever he has come to New Jersey. Paul G.
Wolcott, the governor's deputy press secretary, said Kean was not invited to the fund-raiser, to his knowledge. However, he said this should not be interpreted as a "snub." Kaufman said no special significance should be read into whether Kean does or does not show up. Carl Golden, the governor's press secretary, said Kean has made it clear he intends to steer clear of the 1988 presidential contest for the time being, and his presence could be misconstrued. While the Fund for America's Future is not a presidential vehicle now, it could be in the future. "We're not sure what it's for," Golden said.
Late last month, Kean sent a strongly worded memo to to his Cabinet officers warning them keep out of presidential politics. "It is much too early for leading members of this administration to become publicly aligned with any candidates for national office," the memo stated. I do not believe the people of New Jersey would find appropriate that those who are responsible for administering the affairs our state be involved publicly in partisan political election three years away." The terse, one-page memo directed Cabinet members to "instruct your of key department personnel to adopt for same policy." the Quoting a "well-placed Republican official," the Record of Hackensack reported last week that failure to abide by the memo could cost administration officials their jobs. The newspaper said the governor's warning appeared to be aimed at administration officials and other Kean allies who have joined the national steering committee of Bush's fund. Ms.
Gluck said yesterday she does not intend to resign from the steering committee because the Fund for America's Future has to do with the 1988 presidential She said she did not interpret Kean's memo as applying to her or, Bush's fund, and has not heard anything to the contrary from the governor's office. But Ms. Gluck said she sent a memo to Kean emphasizing that her association with the steering committee should not be construed as an endorsem*nt of Bush's presidential ambitions. Ms. Gluck said she agreed to join the steering committee only after she was assured by Kaufman that the fund is designed to help elect Republican candidates next year.
Ms. Wright said she decided to resign from Bush's political action committee after receiving Kean's, memo. The involvement of Kean administration members in the fund could prove awkward for the governor, titular head of the Republican Party in the state. Kean owes a political debt to the vice president. But he also owes other Republicans who could be presidential timber in 1988.
Among those who have been mentioned as possible presidential candidates and have stumped for Kean are Rep. Jack Kemp of New York, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole of Kansas and his wife, Elizabeth, the U.S. transportation secretary. If Kean's name becomes with the vice president now, strategists say it could be damaging, especially if Bush's star is eclipsed. Other New Jersey Republicans on the steering committee are Lawrence E.
Bathgate III, the Lakewood lawyer, who is a friend of and fund-raiser for Bush; Raymond H. Bateman, a lobbyist and former state senator and gubernatorial candidate; Nicholas F. Brady, U.S. senator for eight months in 1982; state Sen. Leanna Brown, R- Morris; and former Gov.
William T. Cahill. Also, state Sen. Donald T. DiFrancesco, R-Union; state Sen.
S. Thomas Gagliano, R-Monmouth; John F. Inganamort, Bergen County GOP chairman; Cape May County GOP it Chairman Philip Matalucci; and Republican National Committeeman of Bernard M. Shanley. a Also, Judith H.
