New York, Nov. 15.-Gov. Woodrow Wilson announced tonight that imme- diately after his inauguration as pres ident of the United States he would call an extraordinary session of con- gress to convene not later than April 15 for the purpose of revising the tar iff
 Redeem PIdeges, Remove Uncertainty
 The president elect will sail for Bermuda at two o'clock tomorrow aft ernOon for a vacation and will return on December 16 To set at rest in the meantime speculation as to what he would do with regard to tariff revis- ion, he issued the following statement:
 q shall call congress together in ex- traordinary session not later than April | 15. I shall do this not only because 1 think that the pledges of the party ought to be redeemed as promptly as possible, but also because l know it to be in the interest of business that all uncertainty as to what the particu- lar items of tariff revision are to be should be removed as soon as possi- | ble''
 Public Men Favor 1t. Beyond this brief announcement the l governor said he had nothing further l to say. Most of the opinions he had 
 l be in favor of an extra session, he de- 1 clared. The governor did not intend | to express himself about an extra ses- sion so soon after his election. AL | though he has favored the idea of an | extra session because the present ar rangement would not bring the new congress into session until thirteen months after it's election. he had eX- pected to spend more time in collect | ing public opinion, but with the time consumed in discussion the governor felt that if an extra session were not called the benefits of tariff revision would be postponed practically two years.
 Can Work Out Preliminary Detail Now
 Throughout his campaign speeches he reiterated that he desired an inn mediate revision of the tariff and that the democratic leaders knew perfectly well how to proceed about it. The governor was impressed by the argu- ment, also, that with an early an nouncement as to an extra session the democratic leaders in congress could begin to take counsel at an early date, | so that much of the preliminary de- tail could be worked out before con- gress convened April 15. The govern or was prompted incidentally in mak- ing his early announcement by the fact that many members of congress were desirous of arranging for accom- modations in Washington for the eX- tra session, if there was to be one.
 Practically Unanimous Opinion.
 Immediately upon his election the governor made up his mind to wait until after he returned from his vaca- tiOn on December 16 before making known his attitude, but upon finding, as he said, that opinion favorable to a special session was practically unan- imous, he felt no hesitation about making public his conclusion.
 Though the president elect means to rest while in Bermuda, he really expects to give a good deal of time to quiet thought about the problems that face him. He will sketch his an- nual message to the New Jersey leg islature and will do some extensive reading of data on the tariff, the mo- nopoly question, banking and curren- cy reforms, and other issues.
 Will Sail This Afternoon.
 The president nt-elect will sail on the steamship Bermudian, one of the reg ular boats plying between New York and Hamilton Bermuda. Besides the Wilson family, a stenographer and three servants, there will be ten news paper correspondents along. The par ty will arrive in Bermuda on Mon- day. The president-elect has leased cottage on a remote part of one ot the islands where he has many a sen son heretofore spent his vacations Immediately upon his arrival in Der muda, Governor Wilson will call up- on the governor of the island and re- quest him to consider his Rresence in Bermuda entirely informal and un- official.
