between the Governor and MIR. I'm
derwood, in which the latter offered
to consult the nominee upon the pro-
gram of the House during the re-
mainder of the present session. The

the details of the unfinished business
before the House and mapped out
the schedule for the coming month
or whatever time the House remains
in session.

sleep. the governor today opened the
week by going over his correspon-
dence.

The trip from Sea Girt to Trenton
tomorrow will be made by auto
mobile. unless present plans are
changed, and the reporters have
been requested not to follow the gov
ernor. but to go to Trenton by train.
IF you only knew how much l
enjoy a few hours unobserved,," the
governor said, II am sure you would
grant my request without hesita-
ton"
The governor. would say nothing
today regarding his message to the
national committee in Chicago, de-
clining to comment on the accuracy
of the forecast some of the party
leaders have indicated to the news
| paper men. He said he had no APP
pointments of especial Importance
during the week, except the luncheon
engagement with Mr.. Underwood,
but a visit to Sea Girt on .Wednes-

tional committee is not unexpected.
The governors selection of officers
and plan of organization for the
Decorate National Committee and
the campaign ere as follows: 4
William F. McCombs, national
chairman, with authority to preside
over campaign committees,
william G. McAdoo, of New York,
yice-chairman. e; n
Joseph E. Davies, of Milwaukee,

bert Burleson, of Texas.
William F.. McCombs, William G.
McAdoo and Joseph e. Davies viii
also serve as members.
Picks Morgenthau for Treasurer.
The selection of a treasurer will be
left to the campaign committee and
will probably not be made until after
a conference which the members of
the committee are expected to have
with Governor Wilson at Sea Girt
next Wednesday. Governor Wilson
favors the appointment of Henry
M~orgenthau. the rich New Yorker
who was a large contributor to tn:
early campaign in which william r
McCombs won his laurels as an or
ganizer.
The rules by which the national
chairman and the campaign commit
tee will be governed have all beer
decided by Governor Wilson. They
represent a departure from all pre-
vious customs and can only be likened
to the system by which great cor
porations are controlled.
The campaign committee will act
as a board of directors, and all ques.
tions of business and policy will be
decided by a majority vote. In this
way the national chairman is safe
guarded against individual mistake.
in all matters of consequence, H,
cannot act without the authority o
the committee, as expressed by vote
Mr.. McCombs will have a vote il
the committee, and he is SO closel,
identified with the Wilson interest
that this vote will undoubtedly b.
looked upon as the vote of the Presi
Dental candidate himself.
Headquarters West Also.
Mr.. McCombs will preside over TIL
national headquarters, which will b
located in New York city. There will
be another headquarters in Chicag'
and a third in Denver or San Fran
cisco. 1t. has been left for the com
mittee to select the men who wi,
preside over the two Western head
quarters.
The mails accounted for fou
youngsters who have been 'alread'
christened Woodrow Wilson.
