OYSTER BAY, aug. Isl Inc conference
between President Roosevelt and the Re-
rrb,jcnn members Of the subcommittee
., III. SrrateI mmittee on Finance, which
hogon at Saga. ,ore Hill last night and was
,on,inurd into the small hours Of the morn
inc led to the determination that the ex-
traordinary session of Congress. which
uas scheduled to be called on Monday,
Nov 0 should be convened early in October.
While the session IL to be called primarily
for the enactment of legislation making
lucrative the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
financial matters are going to have place
nj the greatest Importance on the calendar.
and il is in consideration of this fact that
the date of converting may be brought for
ward two or three weeks.
The Administration leaders, it is said,
want to see the proposed financial measures
pushed through the coming session without
fail, and although no serious opposition is
anticipated, if the subcommittee succeeds
IN drafting the sort Of bill it contemplates,
they are DESTROYS that ample time be taken
for thorough discussion OF the measure.
"he men at the head of the Administration,
lis said, are anxious to have all currency
legislation out Of the way before the meeting
Of the national conventions in June
The exact nature Of the conference at
Sycamore Hill was explained here authori.
tatively this morning. 1t related rather, it
was said. to the methods of procedure in
preparing the proposed bill than to the
subject matter of the measure.
1t was announced that no bill will be
formally and definitely drawn until consul
tations have been held with the leaders in
the Senate and the House, Democrats as
well as Republicans, and with bankers
and other authorities in finance in all parts
Of the country.
1t is the purpose of the subcommittee
% frame a measure which will appeal 90
popular support rather than to party
strength, and which will commend itself
generally to the present needs of the country.
The members OF the committee and the
President appreciate the difficulty Of draft
ing such a measure, but all, and particu-
larry MIR Roosevelt, believe that it can be
accomplished.
All schemes of financial legislation re-
Gently proposed have been made subser
Went to that end, and it is hoped finally
10 bring forward bill which will provide
in a most conservative way for more
elastic currency system than the present
one
The subcommittee will keep in close
touch with the President and the leaders
In both houses from now until the converting
of The special session, but no definite meas
Ire, it is said. will be framed for some
time. All suggestions even that have
kAas hire far tanf
for there are many differences of opinion
between members Of tho Senate and MEM
bers of the House which must be dismissed
before any measure can be promulgated
with any reasonable surety Of success.
Representative Cannon Of Illinois, whose
support asSpeaker of the next House will be
almost absolutely necessary to the passage
Of the bill, will be one of the first to be
consulted, and his views, it can be said
will have a most important bearing on the
final drafting of the measure.
Senator Aldrich said after the conference:

committee OF the Senat" Finance Committee

ference at Warwick, r, T.. talked with the
