PROPOSED Extraordinary Ses-

Opposition DeveIopes as to Calling
Extraordinary Session.
Oyster Bay, n. Y, August 14.-Finan.
cial legislation and other weak of the
proposed extraordinary session of con
gress were discussed today by the
president with several of his callers
The first arrivals were Secretaries
Shaw and Hitchcock, respectively Of
the treasury and interior departments
In addition to some departmental ques
tions which they desired to bring to
the presidents attention, they con.
sidered with him the suggestions made
by the members OF the senate subcom
mfttee on finance at their conference
with the president on Wednesday
night, particularly with regard to an
faofdtnary session of cong & t-a
date earlier than November 8. Con.
siderable opposition was developed to
the idea of calling the extra session
in October. The point is made that
many senators and representatives will
be engaged during October in their
state campaigns and that it would be
politically unwise for them to leave
their states at such a time. 1t was
announced today that no definite kon.
clusion regarding the date of the ex
traordinary session has been reached,
that no decision would be announced
until the president shall have consult
ed members of both branches of con.
gress and others.
At luncheon today the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt entertained party in
cluding Secretary Hitchcock, Senator
Cullom, of Illinois; Comptroller of the
Currency Ridgely, and T. D. Byrnes, OF
Minneapolis
1t was expected that later in the
day Former Secretary of the Treasury
