New York, Nov 15.-Governor Will
son announced, tonight, that imme-
diately after his inauguration he
Congress to convene not later than
April Is, for the purpose of revising
the tariff
The President elect will sail for Ber-
muda, at o'clock tomorrow after
noon, for a vacation and will return,
on Dec. 16. To set at rest in the mean
time speculation as to what he would
do with regard to tariff revision, he
issued the following statement:
II shall call Congress together in
extraordinary session not later than
April Is / shall do this not only be-
cause think that the pledges of the
party ought to be redeemed as
promptly as possible, but also because
| know it to be in the interest of bust
ness that all uncertainty as to what
the particular items of tariff revision
are to be should be removed as soon
as possible"
Beyond this brief announcement the
governor said he had nothing further
to say. Most of the opinions he had
received from public men seemed to
he in favor of an extra session, he de-
elared. The Governor did not intend
to express himself about an extra ses-
sion so soon after his election. Al
though he favored the idea because
the present arrangement would not
bring Congress into session until Ii
months after its election, he had eX-
pected to spend more than that time
in collecting public opinion. With the
time e be consumed in discussion,
the Governor felt If an extra session
were not called. the benefits of tariff
revision would be postponed for prae-
tically two years.
The Governor also was impressed
by the argument that with an early
announcement as to an extra session
the Democratic leaders in Congress
could begin to take counsel at an
early date, so that much of the pre-
liminary detail could be worked out
before Congress convened on April 10.
The Governor was prompted inciden-
tally in making his early announce
ment by the fact that many mem
bers of Congress were DESTROYS of ar
