WILSON TELLS
ABOUT MEETING

Hamilton, Bermuda, Dec. 6.-The
-story of just how the engagement for
the approaching conference of Pres
ident-elect Wilson with William Jen-
nings Bryan came to be made was
told yesterday.
1t seems that just before Mr.. Will
sons departure for princeton and
while he was keeping his destination
secret in order to avoid callers, word
came to Mr.. Bryan that Mr.. Wilson
was going to Florida. 1t happened
that Mr.. Bryan already had made
plans to visit Miami, and in writing
the president-elect casually mentioned
the fact, adding that he might drop
in on the next president some day II
the president elect happened to To-
cate nearby. The letter was not re-
ceived by Mr.. Wilson until after he
arrived at Hamilton. In reply ne
said he would be pleased to meet Mr..
Bryan when he returned to the Unit
ed States. This is the extent OF the
correspondence on that subject be-
tween the two democratic leaders
since the election.
The presldent-elect is not permit
ting himself to be troubled by the rae
tional difference affecting his admin
istration.
"I know that there have been all
sorts of criss-crosses," he said, but
there is not going to be any trouble
Why, it would be downright stupidity
to start trouble in the present state
of things and those who expect 1t are
going to be fooled, and badly fooled
too"
1t is known that Mr.. Wilson's mind
is an open one on many momentous
matters, and he has made 1t clear
that he will have no single adviser

mills the same as levied by the coun-
Gil for city purposes. At a meeting
