All Favor His Plan.
Beyond this brief announcement,
the governor said ne had nothing fur-

The governor did not intend to eX-
press himself about an extra session
SO soon after the election. Although

not called, the benefits of tariff re-

conferences while In the metropolis.
and seemed fully confident that he
would not be disturbed by any polit-
ical caller while resting in Bermuda.
All the prominent men In the CAM

Mrs. Wilson and her three daughters
accompanied him. Oddly enough,
there was q special car on the same
train, en- route from Philadelphia to
New York, carrying sixteen business
men, one of whose number was pay
ing a bet Of $1,000 which he wagered
year ago that democratic presl-

man who won the bet. was, however,
