Governor Wilson was disturbed at
the stories sent from Princeton to-day,
Officially" announcing that he was
going to sail for Bermuda in private
yacht on November l6. accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson.
That statement" he said, lis entire
~ without my authority, and that for
the very reason that / am going away
to rest will have no announcement Of
my plans TO make"
This does not mean, however that
the President-elect is not going away
for a vacation, for he is, and no one but
his closest friends will know his des-
tination. He said tonight that he had
not yet made up his mind just when
and where he was going, but II is pretty
certain TO be some place where Office
seekers will not be able TO find him.
When he was told that the news
papers might ask him to confirm or
deny stories concerning the makeup
Of his Cabinet, he said; We'll, you
might as we'll go to the sphinx He
intimated strongly tonight that he
would accept no invitations TO speak
until he entered the White House, al
though ne did accept to-day an invita-
ton to take part in an old home cele-
bration in Staunton, Va, the city in
which he was born. .-
There. does not seem TO be much
doubt that Mr. Wilson will continue as
Governor OF New Jersey up 10 the time
Of his inauguration MS President
When asked tonight as 10 his plans
for the coming Legislature he said they
were simply to carry out the Demo-
cratic platform. He viii I'm all prob
ability have a conference with the
Democratic leaders of New Jersey be-
fore the Legislature meets, which will
be on the second Tuesday I'm January.
Among the many kilograms received
by Governor Wilson to-day was one
from a man I'm Pennsylvania, who
signed his initials only, which said:
Hearty congratulations, but for Gods
sake get an automobile that will not

Stand for Constitution Praised.

President Taft found awaiting him upon
b,s return TO the White House this morn
ing hundreds OF letters congratulating
him on his campaign for the maintenance
OF constitutional government and predict
ing that the Republican party VIII not
only come into its own again. but VIII Do
stronger than ever before.
President Taft said to-day that he had
No regrets. He had worked solely In the
interest Of the American people ana ne
had left the issue for them to decide the
verdict had been against him. ana ne
trusted to time to provide his vlndication'
HIS sincere hope Is that Woodrow Will
sons administration will be beneficial to
the country, and that there Will be no
Interruption to the present prosperity.
To the right of President Taft's desk In
the White House there still hung to-day
the plcture Of Theodore Roosevelt. OPP
posite Il, on the other side OF the roon'
was the picture of Alonzo Taft, the Presi-
dents father. The two pictures are the
only ones I'm the room, and they VIII re-
main until the end OF the Taft admins
tration.
The President feels that he was be-
trayed by Colonel Roosevelt. TO whom he
had been a true friend for many years
ever since the colonel was Police Com
missioner OF New York-but he still ad-
rnits that Roosevelt has many attractive
qualities and ne excuses the betrayal on
the ground that It was prompted by an
overwhelming ambition.

QUICKLY BECOMES SPHINX
Going Away for Rest, but Won't
Say Where-Will Act as
Governor Until In
augurated.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Princeton, n. j.. Nov. 7.-President-
elect Wilson is going to pick his own
Cabinet, and is not going to let any
body else do it for him. This he made
pIain to the newspaper men tonight
when. in referring to the speculations
which are cropping up in regard to the
makeup Of his Cabinet, he said such
sneculations were absolutely without
value
81 mean to keep my mind entirely
open with regard to appointments OF
the first Importance" he said. Until
final announcement is possible, 1t Will
be absolutely useless TO look to me for
confederation of any report, because l
shall have nothing to announce. No
announcements will have the least au-
thority unless made over my own sig
nature. These are matters which must
be determined by very deliberate coun-
sci and not by gossip"
The President elect would not say
when he would announce the names or
the men who will act as his advisers,
but It would not be a bad guess to say
that the earliest date that official an
nouncement may be looked for Is jan
uary 1. He may even withhold the
names Of the members Of his Cabinet
up 10 March 4.
There is not much doubt however
but that ne will confer with the leading
members of his party before finally fix
ing on the men who are to compose his
Cabinet.
