NO EXTRA SESSION.
Cabinet Decides Not to Call a Special
 Meeting of Congress.

New York. Nov. 4.-The New York Times says there will be no extra ses- sion of congress this month unless most unexpectedly there is complete reversal of feeling at the White House and among the cabinet members. The question of accepting the suggestions that have been coming to the president from all over the country in the last few days to summon congress to meet at once to take up currency legislation and federal corporation control. which the president has advocated in his re- cent speeches, was considered at the last cabinet meeting and. in the lam guagc of a man who is in a position to know. was settled adversely, em- phatically."
 Regular Meeting Too Near.
 There has been a swelling demand for immediate action by congress to provide relief for the financial strin- gency. Requests have been coming to the president directly that he call con gress together at once for that pur- pose. At the same time senators and representatives in town have been del uged with messages and letters from their constituents asking them to urge this action upon the president. But the president does not think it wise to convene congress in extra session so short a time before the regular session is bound to meet. and the members of tho cabinet take the same view.
 It is felt at the White House and among the cabinet that both matters on which legislation is so urgently de manded will be the better for deliber- ation instead of haste. The president believes that this is not q time for pre- cipitate action. which would he almost certain tc result in i'll digested legisla- ton. He has seen no reason to alter his belief. repeatedly expressed in pub lie. in the generally sound condition of business. Nothing has developed fin the recent situation to impress upon him the urgency of immediate congress sional action along the lines of taking federal control of corporations which he has advocated in his speeches this year. There is nothing in that matter which is not more likely to benefit by deliberate action than by haste.
 Will Fall h Line With President.
 It is ;he question of currency legasla- ton that has had most to do with the demand for the immediate summoning of congress. That demand has come coupled with 90 many suggestions for legislation. most of which were so evi- dently based upon the impulse of the moment. that it has not seemed PoSsi- ble to evolve anything practical ont of them There hss heen m agreement in them. suggestions from one section of the country not falling in at all with those from another. That fact has strengthened The opinion of tlle president and his advisers that H would be wiser not tO convene con gresS now. hut 10 wait until there has heen opportunity for further discussion and conference
