 Governor Woodrow Wilson came out of the Little White House" sat in an easy chair on his porch, crossed his legs, took off his glasses and thus re- piled today to bombardment of ques- tions hurled at him by group of re- porters. He was looking rather care worn and tired.
 sI don't know yet whether I shall appoint MT. McCombs my campaign manager or suggest him for the chair manship of the national committee, said he "I haven't decided whether shall resign as governor of New Jersey. I haven't had time to read the platform; have made no cam- paign plans-in fact, 1 have devoted all my time to morning callers and to my cores pondence.
 Those and other details I shall take up in due time with my friends. Poor fellows, they will have to get some rest.
 ITO all the thoughtful and generous friends who have sent me messages of congratulations, I want to express my
 
 answer them individually, I am afraid, they are so very numerous. l hope this inadequate Acknowledgement will fall under their eyes. These mes sages of personal confidence help im- measurably to make public service seem worth while.'
 Do you care to comment upon the conventions Work?' he was asked.
 q can only say he replied, ''that am much gratified at it's harmon ious ending. As to the work of my supporters, I never saw anything like it for absolute devotion. Many of them were my warm personal friends
 Whatever else the governor does, he will continue to visit Trenton every Tuesday, maintaining the custom set when a summer mansion was first built, of keeping t"governors day al the state capitol. His friends are DO sitive that he will not resign as gover- nor until after the first of the year, as under the New Jersey law the presl- dent of the Senate automatically takes the governors seat upon the latter's resignation. John D. Prince, the present president of the Senate, is 9 Republican.
 Governor Woodrow Wilson will il the main determine the direction ol his own campaign for president; pass upon the desirability of appointing { campaign committee and confer Wltf a subcommittee of the national com mittee on the naming of the officers of the new Democratic national com mittee.

 This was Colonel Roosevelt's utter ances today when party of his lead CTS conferred with him. The talk had drifted to the prospects of Roose- welt carrying enough states to beat Woodrow Wilson.

 McCombs was practically unheard of prior to the Wilson campaign but his record has been impressive. He is 36 years old and native of Arkan- sas He is a graduate of Princeton and has practiced law in Washington and New York City. The only draw back is that he is not physically strong.
