Princeton. n. J.. Nov. 13.-Although
President elect Wilson was as silent as
the Sphinx to-day on the questioh VI
special session of Congress TO revise 'ne
tariff. there ian't the least DOUBT III 'he
minds OF those who talked to him that
the extra session Is an assured tact'
Not that Mr.. Wilson Expressed hlinsei
one way or the other, for he ala not ou'
he showed an extraordinary interest III
the subject when II was preached 10 MIN
When one of the newspaper men TINS
evening remarked that Robert u prem
ner the newly elected Representative oil
Pessaic County. this state, had sugses'eu
the appointment Of Congress committees
n investigate the various schedules 10 IN
taken up. Mr.. Wilson remarked tartiS'
..yybv we've been investigating all my
life"
And when another suggested tha' II
might be well to wait until September De
fore holding a special session, so that the
Ways and Means Committee could get To-
gether, ne quickly replied: why no. the
Wavs and Means Committee, which nan
died the subject before, Will remain pfac-
tically the same. and you know they WIZ
be I'm Washington in couple OF weeks
Mr. Wilson also learned for the hrst
time tonight that william J. Bryan had
nublicIv favored the calling Of a special
session of Congress. 1t happened when
the Tribune reporter called Mr.. wilson
attention TO the list of prominent Demo
Gratis fayoring n special session, which
was printed in this mornings Tribune.

was told. us that so?' answered the
PresIdent-elect. Il thought that MI
Bryan had not expressed an opinion pup
Mcly on the question
When Mr.. Wilson was asked II he had
received any letters asking what he pur-
posed doing in regard TO the tarin and
monopoly he said NO" with a decided
emphasis.
mo one apparently thinks 1t necessary
TO ask me anything about those subjects
he added
They know what said. and as far as
I am concerned that goes. Everybody
knows that we purpose to carry out our
programme
There were two important callers at the
Wilson home to-day, and while both OF
them asserted that It was merely a
friendly call. the fact that their names
have been mentioned in the Cabinet gos-
sip made their visits look significant
! They were General Nelson A. Miles and
Judge VIII X. King. OF Oregon.
When Mr. Wilson was reminded that the
names OF these two men had been coupled
with places in his Cabinet he remarked
Fortunately, haven't read any OF the
Cabinet speculations. and that has left me
| free from embarrassment"
| Mr. King is the national committeeman
| for Oregon and was a member OF Gov
ernor Wilson's campaign committee
! Homer 6. Cummings. another to whom
| the gOssipers have given n Cabinet place
will have luncheon with Mr.. Wilson to-
morrow Mr.. Wilson said that his mail
was getting somewhat lighter now, and,
while he had not been through all the
letters which his secretary had sent TO
| him, his suggestions for Cabinet places
were not large.
! The Princeton students have already be-
gun preparations TO attend MIR. Wilson 4
Inauguration, and Paul f. Myer, presi-
dent Of the Woodrow Wilson Club Of the
University said this evening that the out
pouring OF undergraduates was going 10
| he one Of the features Of that day.
About six hundred students will make
the trip TO Washington, accompanied by
brass bands and number Of other things
which are being kept secret just now.
Mr.. Myer said it is going to be a regular
old-fashoned "peerade."
Mr.. Wilson has become accustomed TO
receiving congratulations In various
forms, but 1t remained for Princeton
laundry girl to conceive the most original
way Of sending her good wishes TO him.
They came in freshly Numbered dress
shirt, and Mr.. Wilson did not know they
were there until he started 10 put on the
shirt, when he discovered a slip of paper
pinned to it, on which were written con-
CALCULATIONS signed by the laundry girl.
