MAY BE CALLED IN OCTOBER
Extra Session of Congress. Not Unlikely To
he Summoned Then.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. 14.-An ex-
ira session of congress in October, in
stead Of Nov 8, is expected as re-
suit of developments ut the confer
ence of senators with the president
here. Another important development
is the announced Intention of the Re
publicans to consult Democratic SEM
tors and bankers, business men and
others before deciding on the financial
Legislation to be proposed.
Although an extraordinary session of
congress in the fall is assured 1t has
not been determined whether It will
be called to meet In October or in
November. 1t has been supposed that
the extraordinary session would con-
vene Monday, Nov. 8, but indications
now are that 1t will be called at an
earlier date - perhaps several weeks
earlier.

CONFERENCE ON Cash.
Senate Subcommittee on FL
nance Consults the Pres.
dent on the Subject.
DESIRED TO OBTAIN HIS VIEWS
So IL Went to Oyster Bay and Talked
1t Elasticity the
Desidcratum.

Oyster Bay. Aug. 10. = President
Roosevelt had as his guests Mt Saga
more Hill the members of the sub-com-
mittec of the senate committee on
finance which is engaged in drafting
currency measure to be submitted to
congress next fall The subcommittee
consists of Senators Aldrich, Platt of
Connecticut, Allison and Spooner. Prior
to the adjournment Of congress last
spring this subcommittee was appoint-
ed and authorized to sit during the re-
cess to study the financial situation
and prepare measure to meet the re-
quirements Of the situation, as the COM
mittee viewed it, for introduction when
the senate should reconvene.
Went 70 Consult the President.
On this work the committee some
times as individuals, part of the time
us body-has been engaged during
the latter part of the summer For a
day or two the members have been
the guests of Senator Aldrich at his
Warwick residence near Providence.
They are preparing now to put into
concrete form the results Of their in
vestigation and labor. Desiring to con-
suit with President Roosevelt regard
ing the work, the subcommittee came
to Oyster Bay. The distinguished par
ty dined with the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt.
Committee Wants to Meet His View.
The object of the committee was to
ascertain the views of President Roose-
welt with definiteness In order, If pos
sible, to met them in the framing of
the measure. 1t is understood to be
the desire of all, including the prcsi-
dent, that the bill should be ready for
introduction at the extraordinary SEES
sion which thepresident hasannounced
he will call for Monday, Nov. 8. Prior
to that time the subcommittee will
submit its draft Of the proposed meas
ure to the full Republican membership
of the senate committee on finance,
and probably to such other Republican
senators ms may be accessible.
Also Wants Republican Unity.
1t is hoped that measure may be
drawn that will meet the approval OF
all Republican senators, SO that when
l 1T is introduced it may have the I'm
divided party support. 1t can be sait
that the president is not welded to an,
particular plan of currency reform, $50
called. but desires simply that a prac
ticable scheme be evolved and put int
the form of legislation at an early date
that will render the currency system
of the country the more elastic and thu
less likely to be affected by the fuctua
lions of values or the demands TO
money at crop-moving seasons.
No reformation for the Public Yet.
In a general way his ideas have beel
4, presented in some of his speeches dur
ing recent months Along the line
indicated the conference proceeded. ]
Is said to be unlikely that any definit
Information concerning the work Of til
subcommittee already accomplish
will be given to the public at thi
time.
