PRINCETON. N. j., Nov. THE
horde OF ofice-seekers who are head
ed here from every section OF the
United States, and few from the
far on Philippines, according to re-
ports, are not awaited with any great
degree OF eQuanimity by President
elect Woodrow Wilson.
Today IL was oficially announced
that the president-elect, accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson, will sail from New

from everybody he will be able to
make up his mind on questions OF APP
pointments and when he returns here
II will be with definite set OF plans
mapped out In his mind.
There has been considerable dis
cussion OF where the president-elect
stands on the questions Of reciproc-
ity and canal tolls. but II was stated
today that he has never taken any
decided position on either question.
II is likely that he will not take any
decided stand on either until they are
oficially brought to his attention after
he Is inaugurated president.
II was said today that the govern
or's immediate concern is his home
state. He feels keenly the charges
made by his opponents in the state
that he failed to carry out his state
reform program, because he was too
much concerned with his fight for the
presidency. II was said here today
that Governor Wilson planned immed-
lately to take up with his lieutentants

lation to be presented to the legis-
lature when II meets Immediately az
ter the first Of the year.

mass OF correspondence that has .ac-
cumulated since his election was as
sured. AS far as possible the most
important OF the letters and kilograms
are being sorted out and answered.
He slept late again today In accord
ance with his plan 70 get as mucn
rest as possible.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE haste
of leading Wall-st Democrats to elm
mate william Jennings Bryan from
consideration Of president-elect Wood
row Wilson for appointment as secre-
tary Of state, and their action IN ID
suing statements that Col Bryan has
personally announced he would not
accent a cabinet appointment are not
horned out by facts.
Bryan was telegraphed at Lincoln,
the fact that certain persons were
quoting him TO that effect and asked
for a statemnt He replied as foi-
lows:
mo one Is authorized to speak for
me and would not, Of course, discuss
the subject at this time"
There was little doubt among the
best informed politicians here today
that Bryan will be the premier Oh
the new administration. II was his
personal attack on Murphy. Belmont
and Ryan that swung the Baltimore
convention TO the New Jersey govern
or. His friends here said II was Ger
tain that no one democrat In the coun-
try would have such popular support
for a cabinet position as Bryan. his
appearance on the stump during the
recent campaign was the signal ior
demonstrations eclipsing even the
torrid campaign of 1896, they said.
