WASHINGTON — President Reagan began his hunt yesterday for a new interior secretary to replace him, and he is stepping into the field of candidates was wide open. By United Press International Reagan met with top advisers and White House personnel chief John Herrington to start what deputy press efforts would be. A thorough, well thought-out search " Watt resigned Sunday, ending $2^{1/2}$ stormy years in charge of managing federal lands and natural resources after controversy over a wisecrack he made about the composition of a coal-leasing advisory board. Quest begins for Watt replacement Speculation about who will be chosen to succeed him has focused on several conservative westerners, including Rep. Manuel Lujan, R-N.M., ranking Republican on the House Interior Committee. If selected, Lujan would be the first Hispanic to serve in the Cabinet. LIUJAN, WHO SAID he had not been contacted by the White House, told reporters yesterday he would prefer to stay in Congress, but: "It depends how he insists. It's difficult to tell the president no." The 15-year House veteran said he thought he was qualified for the post, but that he hypothetically would have served in the military where he said his expertise lay. One possibility that has been mentioned was for Energy Secretary Donald Hodel to move to the interior secretary position, leaving a vacancy at the energy department. But a White House aide dismissed that speculation earlier as "musical chairs." Another frequently mentioned prospect is former Sen. Clifford Hansen, R-Wyo., reported to have been Reagan's first choice when he was naming Cabinet after the 1980 campaign missile attack cited potential conflicts of interest. He said in a telephone interview Monday no official had contacted him and asked for the phone number. ASKED IF HE would preter not to go to Washington unless convinced it is necessary, he said: "That is accurate. I'm presumptuous to think I might be asked. It's nothing more difficult." He flattered I would be considered at all." Speakers declined to confirm any names under consideration and said Reagan and his aides would expand their network, a roster he said was real long. "Speculation that centers on one or two (names) would be wrong," he said. In any event, the administration is seeking a nominee who would carry on Watt's policies, bitterly criticized as pro-development consultants as pro-development SPEAKES SAID REAGAN had one in mind and had no timetable for making a choice, although, "We would like to move as quickly as possible." Aides said Reagan would like to have the nominee confirmed no later than the mid-November adjournment of Congress. In California, Watt remained in seclusion at a friend's Santa Barbara area ranch. A spokesman said Watt had spent about 90 minutes on the phone to Washington discussing Interior Department business. "There's no program to wind down, things go on and he's still the chief administrative officer there," said Baldwin. Watt's press secretary. He said Watt was not involved in the search for a successor. "That's the future and that is for the president to decide," the spokesman HE SAID WAIT, remaining in good spirits, probably would stay at the ranch until at least Friday and might return to Washington while before returning to Washington "This is the ideal place to be for this kind of a thing." Baldwin said. Speaks said the White House had received many recommendations for a successor from members of Congress and influential groups and the private sector. There are a number of qualified people recommended for the $80,000-a-year job of running the federal government's public land holdings and parks, one apin said.
