President-EIect Plans to Spend Month

Are Busy.
Princeton, N. j., Nov. ST think
my right course just now is to hear
everybody, and that l should not make
any statements"
This was the aiswer made by Pres1-
dent-elect Woodrow Wilson to requests
for statements of his attitude on ma
tional and international questions.
He was asked by verious neWspa-
pers abotu an extra session OF con-
gress, Canadian reciprocity, interna-
tional relations, the Panama canal and
a variety of issues, in line with his
campaign argument that the presl-
dency should be conducted Through
the common counsel of the country"
He will now, so far as possible, as
sumo receptive attitude rather than
one of pronouncing himself before he
takes office.
The president-elect looked eagerly
toward a big basket of mail. 1t ap-
peared that he would continue his GUS
tom of opening all mail himself. He
likes to do it. you know that can
recognize the typewriters of some OF
my personal friends" he said. Il don't
know just how 1 do it. l guess I'll
need a tonic to go through that pile,
though" He began slowly to open
some of the letters as he talked.
The president-elect was asked about
his future course in New Jersey. "The
state platform in this election pre-
sented an extensive program" he said.
t'I will try to get the leaders in the
state together just before the legisla-
tive session and then speak for them
as we'll as myself. We will endeavor
to map out a plan of action as well as
a program"
the governor said he looked forward
to accomplishing was revisiorsof
the corporation laws. "We have advo-
Gated that every year." he remarked,
referring again to the fact that the
legislature has not hitherto been Dem
ocratic in both houses. =
President elect Wilson's announced
intention to spend month in Ber-
muda or some other equally distant
health resort, has given rise to no 1lts
tie concern among the state peliki
clans. It is understood, of course, fl5fk
he will continue to hoid the ONCE on
governor until Jan. at least, so that
his successor, probably Senator James
F. Fielder, Of Hudson county, will be
a Democrat, chosen by the new Demo
cratic senate.
What principally worries the states
politicians is their inability to reach
the governors ear and obtain the
plums which they each one, severally
and individually, believe due them be-
cause of their efforts in behalf of the
president-elect.
If the number of congratulatory tel
egrams which are pouring on the gov
ernor from all parts of the Union form
a criterion, there is apt to be deep dis
may among thousands of office seek
Jersey.
The exact date of the governors de-
parture has not been announced, fur,
ther than that he will depart some
time within the next week or ten days.
It Is said the governor will make the
trip aboard the yacht of friend, who
has placed his vessel at the disposal
of the president-elect.
In this Connection it is recalled that
last July the governor suddenly dis
appeared from Sea Girt and nothing
was heard from him for three days.
During that time, it was later learned,
he had been cruising around Long
Island aboard the yacht of Cleveland
H. Dodge, a warm friend and class
mate at Princeton.
