BRYAN MUM ON VISIT
Refuses Even to Hint at What
Was Discussed.

In rare good humor. but carefully
guarding himself from imparting any in
formation that would give a line on what
had transpired at Trenton, William Jen-
nings Bryan reached the Waldorf last
night at o'clock fresh from his con-
ference with President-elect Wilson at
the New Jersey capital.
He received a party OF newspaper men
In his room with great cordiality. He was
evidently prepared for the ordeal. and
his first answer showed that he did not
intend TO reveal any hint OF what had
passed between himself and the Pres.-
dent-elect, either In regard 10 his own
place I'm the administration or that OF any
other man.
"You have seen the President elect this
afternoon" remarked one OF his callers,
by way OF opening the conversation.
II shall answer yes to that question"
said with a smile, ION the general
principle that what can be proved should
always be admitted"
1T is understood that you may have
any position in the Cabinet that you may
DESIRE suggested another caller.
THAT is not go susceptible OF proof"
was the reply, and tho firm jaw Of Mr..
Bryan came together In way that
showed he had no information TO volun-
tser.
do you care to tell us anything about
what transplred when you saw Governor
Wilson," was asked.
81 think II is well understood" said
Mr.. Bryan, "that when any one calls
80 ho a1 %
leaves Il TO the President to talk about
what took place. assume that such a
rule holds with President-olect."
But sometimes caller on the Pres-
Gent gives out information which. while
not authorized, is understood to be privi-
leged," some one suggested.
'T have never established any such
precedent" said Mr.. Bryan shortly.
illustrates All Innuendo.
There Is a rumor, Mr. Bryan" naid
one OF the party. that you are going to
turn the management OF The Common
err over to other hands. Is that trueT'
Mr.. Bryan mt once thought he detected
an attempt to get some indirect informa-
ton on the question as to whether or not
ne was to go into the Presidents Cabi-
net .
Looking his caller squarely in the eye
he said:
81 have never heard any such report"
But some Of your very good friends
are responsible for 1t"
II do not think II necessary TO discuss
every report, even II It comes from
very good man." he said, with smile.
WAS your visit with the President
elect satisfactory and conclusive, or VIII
you have TO see him again?" was the next
|, question.
Again Mr.. Bryan thought he detected
4 desire to get him to give some 'ntima-
ton as to whether or not he would 90
into tho Cabinet.
"Are you a lawyer" he asked. with
smile. That question would do credit
to a good cross-examiner."
when will you see Governor wilson
again?" Mr.. Bryan was asked.
81 do not know" he replied.
Then you have absolutely nothing to
ray about your talk with the President
elect? said one OF the more persiatent
Of the men.
mo, I am like the man who was drawn
for jury duty" said Mr.. Bryan. ''Coun-
