he had decided to go away, next week,
on vacation of three or four weeks.
during which time he would be out
of reach of political callers. The place
where he will go will be announced
later. 1t is probable that ne will make
known very little about the policy of
his future administration before Jan. /.
Gov. Wilson said he was in need of
rest and intended to get himself in
good physical condition for the ses-
sion of the New Jersey Legislature
beginning the first of the year. when
he will carry the two-fold burden of
a legislative program for the state

big ranch.
The President elect took a smile

ton battlefield of revolutionary days.
"Some time ago. he said to the CORE
spondents who accompanied him, there

the idea and put the sign over his own
bed. SO they put UP those cannon balls
instead to mark the spot
Gov. Wilson stopped for few minutes
to talk with Mrs. Anna Ricketts,, 50 years
old, his next door neighbor.
"Be merciful," was the appeal of the
aged woman.
