 CORPORATION LAW
THE PRESIDENT-ELECT WILL ASK NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE
 TO AMEND THEM.
Senator Overman Called on Mir. Will son and Urged the Appointment of JoEephus Daniels as Post
 master General.

Trenton. N. J Dec 19.-President- elect Wilson bored studiously for sey- eral hours here today, over the cor poration laws of New Jersey with a view to recommending amendments to them
 After he had worked most of the day in his capacity as governor, he listened to a formal appeal by United States Senator Overman of North Carolina that Josephus Daniels, na- tional committeeman from that state for nearly 20 years, be appointed postmaster general in the Wilson cabi- net. The president-elect made no comment. He announced also that he would meet with w. J. Bryan for the first time since the election, on Saturday or Sunday, either at Tren- ton or Princeton.
 The governors day was concentrat- ed for the most part on the corpora ton question.
 Repeated charges were made during the national campaign both by Col Roosevelt and Gov. Johnson that Mir Wilson had failed to put into effect any legislation curbing trusts that were chartered as Jersey corpora tions. Though his opponents devoted many speeches to this argument, MT Wilson never made a speech Of reply Once he telegraphed briefly to Sena- tor O'Gorman of New York, however, an answer that was made public, in which he declared that as the state legislature always had been republi- can in one or both branches, he had been unable to put through his prom ised program of reform. He added also that evils complained of in con nection with the trusts mostly con- cerned federal jurisdiction.
 The governor took no further cogni- zanee Of the question during the cam paign, telling his friends however, that he always had intended to in augurate reforms and would begin it f he could get a legislature that was democratic in both branches. His wish being fulfilled, the governor started to work in earnest today, call ing to his aid. Edwin Walker, Chan cellor of the state and Judge Bennett Van Syckel, formerly of the state supreme court. These men, with Gov. Wilson, will draft the new legisla- ton.
 We went over an infinite lot of de- tail. said the governor after he had spent nearly two hours with them. As in all other cases, the corporation statutes have been amended and add ed to until they have become badly complicated. We hope to disentangle this mass. Both Judge Van SyckeI and Chancellor Walker are experience ed and have had a lot to do with de- cisions relating to the corporation laws, so they are valuable guides to me" On national politics the presi- dent-elect was most reticent. He had to say about his approaching visit with Mir. Bryan, and in recount ing the events of the day, passed quickly over the mention of cabinet 
 Senator Overman came with a gen erous lot of representations in sup port of Mir. Daniels for the position of postmaster general said the gov ernor, and added abruptly then Sam Gordon cut my hair"
 Gordon is the governors messenger at the state house, who has acted as barber to New Jersey governors for a score of years.
 The name of Mir. Daniels urged for the postmaster generalship Is the first that definitely known as having been by MT. Wilson for any cabi- net office, Though MT. Daniels was close to the governor throughout the having been chairman of | the campaign committee on publicity, | he has not seen the governor since.
 The governor at dusk motored back | to his home in Princeton, saying he expected to spend the evening With | his family.
