REVISING HIS MESSAGE
PRESIDENT ON FINANCE.
Mr. Root advising Him-Ertra
Session Deemed Unnecessary.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau.


Washington, Nov. 4.-The President has set
about rewriting the financial paragraphs OF his
annual message to Congress. in view OF recent
events in the financial world. In this task he
is being assisted by Secretary Root, whose
judgment and deep knowledge of finance the
President considers invaluable.
The President and his advisers believe that
the monetary laws now in force are ample to
meet the needs of the present situation. and are
confident that the crisis has passed it's most
critical stage and that business will soon re-
sumo its normal condition without any extra
session of Congress to remodel the currency law
These important facts were disclosed to-day
after a conference which took place at the
White House between the President and Sec
retary Root. and Z. H. Gary and Henry c.
Frick. of the United States Steel Corporation.
The steel men had attended the conference
of bankers at New York late last night and
as soon as the meeting was over hurried to the
station and took the train for Washington. They
reached the White House in rough looking
old public hack at 10 a. m. and left by the
same ancient conveyance an hour and three
quarters later Neither would discuss the sub
ject of their visit or conference.
"We have nothing whatever to say. nothing
whatever" exclaimed Mr.. Gary. when, he was

shook his head vigorously when he was asked
his views, and told the driver of the equipage
to go on.
Later it was announced that Messrs Frick
and Gary had discussed the financial situation
thoroughly with the President and Secretary
Root, but that no formal statement would be
issued from the White House. Secretary Root
said the President would not call an extraordi-
nary session Of Congress for the purpose OF re-
vising the currency laws. and was also author
ity for the statement that the President would
rewrite the financial paragraphs of his mes
sage.
The news that the President would take this
action was received with the greatest satis-
faction in financial circles here, especially after
IT was known that Secretary Root would be his
adviser in the work

FOLEY BIG F4VORITE.
SeUeraI Wagers of EUen Money
That IhmSen VIII Lose by 30, 900.

At the Hoffman House last night Charlie"
Mahoney. the betting commissioner, said that
he held the money for dozen or more wagers
on Foley and Ihmsen.
There is nothing doing any one but Foley
and Ihmsen," said Mr.. Mahoney. Il hold sew
eral bets of even money that Foley will have

around this evening with $4,000 check on the
Knickerbocker Trust Company that seemed TO
be certified and he wanted to bet this against

Mahoney said that the only bet made of any
importance was one of $1,000 to $2,500 that
Foley would beat Ihmsen by 10000 votes. He
refused to give the names of those making the
bet He said that the odds were 10 10 l that
Tammany would win the election.
The odds were TO 5 that Whitman would
be defeated, but altogether only about $12,OO
was placed with the commissioner. There was
no betting whatever at other hotels in the Ten
derloin where ordinarily many big wagers are
made. The general opinion was that the tight
ness in the money market was responsible for
the falling off from the records of previous
years.
AT Foleys headquarters last night Charles f.
Murphy and Thomas F. Smith had a conference
with big Tom" assuring him that he would
have a plurality Of $1,000 at the lowest estimate.
Mr Murphy's friends said that there was
money enough distributed yesterday 10 give
from $50 to 500 to an election district. The
larger sums went to districts where the Hearst
people are particularly strong.
