Extra Session Talk,

Washington, Feb. lS.-The president has
seldom been known to talk so freely with
members of congress and other public men
on any other question he had in contem-
plation as he talks with them concerning
an extra session of congress. He has APP
parently been revolving the subject in his
own mind for the past month and for that
length of time has talked more or less
pointedly with callers, congressman and
senators, who. however, have thought that
the extension of the session could be avoid
ed. Even now there are many who refuse
to believe that the call will be issued.
Those who have talked with the presi-
dent in the past day or two are not OF
this opinion. They say that he announc-
ed definitely today his determination to
ask congress to come together as soon
after the completion of the Cuban con-
stitution as might seem expedient.
